RCA Records Chooses Musicrypt's DMDS for New Single by Dave Matthews Band

Highly Anticipated Single, "American Baby," to Be Delivered to U.S. Radio First via DMDS

TORONTO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 03/14/2005 -- Musicrypt Inc. (OTC BB: MCYPF) (TSX-V: MCT), the industry's leading developer of user-friendly and secure media distribution, today announced that RCA Records, a unit of Sony BMG Music, has chosen Musicrypt's Digital Media Distribution System (DMDS) to deliver the new Dave Matthews single, "American Baby," to radio in the United States. The song will be sent to Mainstream Top 40, Triple A, Modern Rock, Hot AC, and Mainstream AC at 12:01 a.m. March 17 ET. Musicrypt's patented Digital Media Distribution System (DMDS) is an easy-to-use, web-based system that requires no expensive software or hardware. DMDS delivers music securely and simultaneously to all intended destinations and is available 24/7. Its advanced technology allows record labels and broadcasters to control the delivery, receipt and use of their music.

"As mainstream music evolves, so does the method in which it is being delivered," stated Adrian Moreira, VP Adult Format Promotion, RCA Music Group. "Musicrypt's DMDS is paving the way for how music will be securely delivered now and into the future. Choosing this system was our way of ensuring that music fans everywhere will receive broadcast quality audio as soon as it becomes available."

In December 2004, Musicrypt entered an exclusive partnership with Billboard Radio Monitor to market and promote DMDS in America following an extremely successful year in Canada where Musicrypt's Digital Media Distribution System (DMDS) is the premier digital music distribution system in the industry. On March 1, 2005, DMDS was also endorsed by Clear Channel Radio, America's largest radio chain with over 110 million listeners choosing Clear Channel programming each week.

"We are extremely pleased that RCA has chosen our DMDS technology for the initial debut of the first single to be released from the Dave Matthews Band, 'American Baby,'" said Peter Diemer, Vice President Marketing & Sales for Musicrypt. "This clearly endorses the fact that our technology is the premier distribution system in the industry."

With the music industry revenues exceeding over $30 Billion today, Musicrypt has worked closely with its customers to develop user-friendly technology that securely delivers broadcast quality music to its recipients. Musicrypt has completed over a quarter of a million secure deliveries to date with today's hottest music chart toppers such as U2, Usher, Norah Jones, Shania Twain, Britney Spears, 3 Doors Down, Avril Lavigne, Alicia Keys, Nickelback, Christina Aguilera, Coldplay, Dido, Evanescence, Green Day, Gwen Stefani, K-OS, Hoobastank, Jet, Jimmy Eat World, Maroon 5, Robbie Williams, Sarah McLachlan, R. Kelly, Seal, Sum 41, Sting, The White Stripes, Tim McGraw, and hundreds of others.

[bdb23]

Nice. :thumbsup Thanks for the continuing info guys.

[dmbfan524]

thanks a lot Joe.

[road_designer]

single will be out 2 months before album. Is this a good or bad thing? Also, does this mean 2 singles to be released? I'd say so.

[chenn123]

So is this thing free or what? Will I be able to listen to the single over the web?

[Joe M.]

I think it's free but not for everyone. Who knows though.

But go to http://www.musicrypt.com/ and you can register for an account. Anyone work for college radio? Or maybe just wants to try to register? :)

[EatSleepJeep]

So is this thing free or what? Will I be able to listen to the single over the web?

This is a way a label can distribute a release securely and simultaneously. Radio sations are the only ones with the decrypter keys. Radio airplay will begin on Thursday. I imagine that web versions will follow.

[road_designer]

I'm sure it will be on the dmbnewalbum website so that you can hear it as much as you want.

[GinaNMU]

Man, you guys are awesome. Keep up the good work and thanks for all the info!!!

[slfairless]

single will be out 2 months before album. Is this a good or bad thing? Also, does this mean 2 singles to be released? I'd say so.

It's a safe bet that being released this early, there will be more then one single released.

[msb3079]

so we will hear this on St. Patty's Day?!!?!!?

[BDJCL3]

I'm sure it will be on the dmbnewalbum website so that you can hear it as much as you want.

I would certainly hope so, as much as it really hasn't been updated. We need something under the "audio" section!

[ryguy178]

I think the second single will be "Dream Girl"

[OCMarsh]

Joe, when mp3's of AB start floating around, will we be able to share it on here? Or will we need to use back channels?

[joeyfine]

life keeps gettin better

[Joe M.]

Joe, when mp3's of AB start floating around, will we be able to share it on here? Or will we need to use back channels?
Streaming from an official website (yahoo, AOL ;), dmband) is ok. mp3's are a no go.

Thanks for that heads up.

Now I need to go set up an AOL account.

[ethaxton]

Wow, I really hope this goes onto dmbnewstudioalbum.com audio section as well Thursday.

[dmbosw41]

very excited to hear AB!

[UNLTrpt]

thanks for the update Joe. We're lovin it.

[BungoBill]

Anyone work for college radio? Or maybe just wants to try to register? :)
my roomate has a show on our college radio station

[goochylittlepig]

I think the second single will be "Dream Girl"

um, why?

[TMoore4075]

I registered my campus radio station. I do not work on it now but I used to. We'll see what happens.

[goochylittlepig]

I registered my campus radio station. I do not work on it now but I used to. We'll see what happens.
me too. how do they deliver the music tho? theyre not just gonna send you an shn or something, are they?

[Wildmoose31]

March 17 is gonna be crazy, New live trax, new single, ncaa tourney

[lilc]

good good news....with this being released 2 mths prior to the official release, maybe well get lucky and theyll release a vid too...dmb on the ten spot of mtv? haha unlikely , but would still be cool to see dmb on vid

[wiebrod]

March 17 is gonna be crazy, New live trax, new single, ncaa tourney

You are absolutely correct, this is the best time of the year with the NCAA tourney and now all of this dmb material coming out, it makes it that much better.

[^MaLaKaS^]

You are absolutely correct, this is the best time of the year with the NCAA tourney and now all of this dmb material coming out, it makes it that much better.

Damn straight and I'm on spring break this week!!

[bustdstuff]

Does anyone know how to find out which stations will be playing AB? Around here I'm lost since the station that would have played it is now hip hop.

[Rapunzel34]

Does anyone know how to find out which stations will be playing AB? Around here I'm lost since the station that would have played it is now hip hop.
That is exactly what I was thinking, Stephanie, but I think maybe 100.7 for us?? It's the next closest thing...

[bustdstuff]

That is exactly what I was thinking, Stephanie, but I think maybe 100.7 for us?? It's the next closest thing...


Do you think that maybe 97.1 since they give tickets away?

[Rapunzel34]

Yeah, I forgot about them...either one of those two would probably be our best bet...

[bustdstuff]

I think I might just call around today. I'll let you know how it goes.

[Rapunzel34]

O.k. thanks!!

[fn41dmb]

Anyone think there is a possibility that we might get this on the DMBnewstudioalbum website on Wednesday night? Maybe not the whole thing, but possibly a little taste? That would be an awesome way to give some of the fans a "thanks".

[RiotAct]

AOL ;)

Ugh :thumbsdow

Don't say that word.

[JiMiThiNG277]

I'm going to put my money down on the fact that within 24 hours the single will be already ripped and posted on not only this message board but many others...

let's not forget where we are right now technology wise and people's abilities to rip media at will..

THUMBS UP FOR PIRACY!

[conspiersacy]

[conspiersacy]

thanks these are pretty good are these offical or what

all except for that question marked area. i guess they have some sort of recording playing over the track, so parts of it are difficult to understand. wait for tomorrow and see for yourself, i guess. =)

[JanelleM]

You are absolutely correct, this is the best time of the year with the NCAA tourney and now all of this dmb material coming out, it makes it that much better.
:thumbsup :thumbsup

[conspiersacy]

i just want to make it clear that my source for the lyrics and the source for the information about aol music were independent of one another.

[SevenMinarets]

so can this be confirmed....

Im single again :thumbsup :hump

[yanks7533]

pretty resounding "fuck it we're screwed" lyrics

think we'll get the song before it goes on the radio via the website tomorrow or somethin?

[dmbosw41]

I think we will either get a clip on the studio site or the whole thing will surface late tonight on the boards

[The Onion]

:hump Good stuff.

[Joe M.]

I can confirm AOL (as I hinted in the other thread) and small part of those lyrics.

EDIT: Clarify, only a small part of those lyrics based on what Matt has said/sang. lol

[Jake]

... but I think Matt told me the opening lyrics were different... he'll be around eventually to comment on this.

[The Onion]

:hump Thanks, Joe. You're the man.

[dmbosw41]

I can confirm AOL and part of those lyrics.


I cant say it enough...you guys rock!!!

[The Onion]

All the admins are showing up to this thread. :lol

[dmbosw41]

I have never seen them so up to date and on top of things!
im speechless

[wiebrod]

I cant say it enough...you guys rock!!!
Agree totally, all of this information today combined with nothing to do today is keeping me pretty intrigued. Thanks for eveything you guys do.

[dmbosw41]

in the little dmb world it doesnt get any better than this

[ethaxton]

Sweet, I hope they put it on the album website at the same time as AOL...seems like AOL would want exclusivity for 24 hours at least though.

[conspiersacy]

i'm surprised the band hasn't posted news of the song being on aol tomorrow, especially with their long-standing relationship with aol -- you know, the central park thing and all. isn't the purpose of something like that to advertise and have people sign up for aol to hear the music?

why's it so (too shy shy) hush hush (eye to eye -- sorry, had to do that)

[The Onion]

:hump This is the most excitied I've been since '02!!!

:hump :hump :hump :hump

why's it so (too shy shy) hush hush (eye to eye -- sorry, had to do that)

a one hit wonder band named Kajagoogoo :lol

[bdrum992]

So, can we not hear the song unless we are aol members? I'm hoping that as soon as this happens someone can post it on these boards

[JimiThang1]

Yea to hear anything on AOL you have to be a member.

[defcon]

The lyrics sound OK, not the best DMB has put out IMHO, but sometimes it's the music more than the lyrics. Can't wait to hear it, tho. Can't wait to get my hands on the album. May 10th, c'mon!

Had to get my 300th post in. :)

[HolyCow]

Damn straight and I'm on spring break this week!!

Me also. What a glorius week to be alive!:cool

[dmbosw41]

the only thing I see wrong with them is all the STAY's...does this mean we might get the lovely ladies back on tour?

[Kyle#41_7985]

man...I'm so excited and at the same time that my parents have been dumb enough to keep our AOL membership. I can't wait to hear this song.

[JimiThang1]

the only thing I see wrong with them is all the STAY's...does this mean we might get the lovely ladies back on tour?
Nah I think Butch and Carter have successfully pulled off their roles.

[dmbosw41]

I know exactly what you mean :thumbsup

[ethaxton]

That would be the one thing that could tarnish 2005 for the band. I had a dream, well nightmare, the other night that a show I went to this year (this upcoming year) was with the lovely ladies and they were in like every damn song. I woke up in a sweat but felt a lot better once I realized it wasnt true.

[Kyle#41_7985]

nice...now I have 3 possible ways to hear this song in the next couple days.

[dmbosw41]

I think they are gone for a good good time

although something we may not want to hear this tour

American Baby-->
Stay
:twak

[2stepsoright]

and the other two?

[BDJCL3]

This is so exciting...I can hardly stand it

How will the song be accessed through AOL...like on their radio or something?

[johnbro23]

Wow, sounds like a really good song. I can't wait til Wednesday night!

[Steelers36]

I'd rather be beaten with a wire coat hanger than hear the Lovely Ladies sing Stay again. It not a bad song, but they just never stop.

[johnbro23]

and the other two?

Radio, AOL, and official album site.

[gryspn41]

:hump This is the most excitied I've been since '02!!!

:hump :hump :hump :hump


I tell you what everyone is humping the news today. Everyone is getting too excited!!!

[goochylittlepig]

To whomever is in the know, is this going to be up at midnight, or sometime randomly during the day tomorrow? Also, do you know where on AOL? I can access my parents' account from the web, and will glady share it as soon as I get it, but I need to figure out where on AOL it is, as I haven't used AOL since 2000... Thanks for the info, and any help.

It's not tomorrow night, its Wednesday night (right after midnight to be exact). I'm sure you'll be able to find a stream of it on the internet somewhere.

Plus, I'm sure people will be posting links to streams like mad on Wednesday night, it shouldn't be too hard to find one.

AOL should let you listen without requiring you to signup with them. They did the same thing with Jack Johnson, you didn't have to sign up.

*Runs to closet*

[road_designer]

Can someone who is good at interpreting songs interpret these potential lyrics? I find this song somewhat confusing and was hoping for some clarification. I understand the beginning pretty much saying that if we destroy the world nothing is left but the whole chorus part is confusing. Thanks.

It almost seems like it might be a song written with his daughters in mind. From these lyrics I read it as he wants them to stay innocent and not lose their faith in humanity. Or maybe just americans in general not to lose their faith in goodness, God, and humanity due to terrorism, suffering, and war.

[CarterBoydBear]

Nice. :thumbsup Thanks for the continuing info guys.

so you think the "stay" is referring to innocence. interesting.

[yanks7533]

i dunno it still seams mroe like hes more concerned with our "crappy" country on top of all the other negative things in the world...can't really get a read on it yet

:thumbsup Exactly what I got...something along the lines of not letting terrorism, war, hatred influence you...but to stay innocent and hopeful for the future...

[BigAlbinoSmurf]

Can someone who is good at interpreting songs interpret these potential lyrics? I find this song somewhat confusing and was hoping for some clarification. I understand the beginning pretty much saying that if we destroy the world nothing is left but the whole chorus part is confusing. Thanks.

i think its about america not losing its innocence after things like 9/11 happen to it. or at least dave wishing america wouldnt respond to these things in a way that would destroy whatever innocence was left.

"if these walls came crumblin' down
fell so hard to make us lose our faith
from what's left you'd figure it out
????? make lemonade taste like a summer day"

im not one of those people who relate everything to 9/11, but that is pretty hard to miss.

" nobody's laughing now
god's grace lost and the devil is proud
but i've been walking for a thousand miles
one last time i could see you smile"

this part shows how america has moved away from that picturesque lifestyle where people go on picnics and actually have fun and enjoy life, but how he still wants to live that life and still wants to enjoy simple things like [whoever's] smile.

that's just how i interpereted it... just an opinion.


i agree with this too:

It almost seems like it might be a song written with his daughters in mind. From these lyrics I read it as he wants them to stay innocent and not lose their faith in humanity. Or maybe just americans in general not to lose their faith in goodness, God, and humanity due to terrorism, suffering, and war.

[jay41]

Or maybe just americans in general not to lose their faith in goodness, God, and humanity due to terrorism, suffering, and war.

:thumbsup From the Rolling Stones article
There is a divide in this country. That song is hoping that apple pie and lemonade, baseball and sunny-day barbecues are not going to be replaced by a 'fuck'em all and let God sort it out' vibe.

[johnbro23]

i dunno it still seams mroe like hes more concerned with our "crappy" country on top of all the other negative things in the world...can't really get a read on it yet

Well obviously its about America, but I think its just dave being patriotic (or maybe the better word is nationalistic)

These lyrics look as good as some of the lyrics from BTCS. I can't wait to hear this song :multi

[jay41]

These lyrics look as good as some of the lyrics from BTCS.

Really?

[kylebond13]

not to get ahead of ourselves here, but, I get the feeling that this song will be interpreted as the exact thing that it is supposed to be critcizing.... blind and ignorant pride in a country that doesn't necessarily always do the right thing.

maybe not.

on a side note, lyrics are the child of WTWE meets STAY meets BABY (some devil)

I think your avatar has biased your thinking :D :rolleyes

J/K

I hope to hear the same writing quality we were given on BTCS. Time will tell...

[kylebond13]

I think it was the pre-BTCS '98 MTV ultrasound special where dave said that he was trying to write more direct lyrics; not so obscure.

yet I feel like his older stuff was so much more abstract and elicited greater imagery and thoughts. now every other word seems to be the same. I think, in his effort to tighten his lyrics, he's over simplified things and, on paper, they come across as... dull?

still, the music is strong and I love it.

[RhodyDMBFan]

How does aol music work? Is it a free download since it will be a single?

How do you get AOL music...

[timg1414]

my god what an exciting day i can hardly contain myself:bounce new song tour dates update on the site this is exciting stuff here

[smudge1]

Do you think that maybe 97.1 since they give tickets away?
maybe 94.9 thats adult contemporary...97.1 may give tickets away, but the music format is a little to hard for DMB....I hear DMB once a year on 97.1, but then again I never listen to the radio.

[JimiThang1]

How do you get AOL music...
You have to be an AOL member.

[Alandmb]

can they just release the album next month, please.
i think it would be better for all of us.........

[Rapunzel34]

maybe 94.9 thats adult contemporary...97.1 may give tickets away, but the music format is a little to hard for DMB....I hear DMB once a year on 97.1, but then again I never listen to the radio.
I doubt 94.9...I think I have heard them on there like twice. I say 100.7 only because Kristi Knight is the afternoon DJ there (she was the former DJ on 95.7, before it turned to rap), she has been a decent DMB supporter in the past, as far as playing their material..but I guess we'll see.

[JanelleM]

These lyrics look as good as some of the lyrics from BTCS.
I am not going to start comparing albums yet, but what makes you think that?

[kylebond13]

amen janelle.

[road_designer]

I am not going to start comparing albums yet, but what makes you think that?

I think he means they both have nouns, verbs, and some adjectives.

Well obviously its about America, but I think its just dave being patriotic (or maybe the better word is nationalistic)

http://music.channel.aol.com/artist/main.adp?artistid=196505

coz that's aol, and im not an aol member and i can get those videos and songs with ease, if in fact that is the correct website.

[gdmbman]

Did a search and didn't find this... sorry if someone already posted it and or if it is shit. Was posted on the warehouse boards

From Billboard magazine

Dave Matthews Band has christened its new album "Stand Up," which will be released May 10 via RCA. First single "American Baby" will premiere at midnight tomorrow (March 15) exclusively via AOL Music's First Listen initiative. "Stand Up" was previewed for a select crowd last night in DMB's Charlottesville, Va., home base.

The album is the follow-up to 2002's "Busted Stuff," which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 1.9 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

DMB has given fans a peak into the sessions via video clips on a dedicated new album Web site. The latest posting shows the band working through an up-tempo new song with an acoustic guitar lead in the vein of the early hit "Satellite."

"This is one of the best experiences ever we've had in the studio," bassist
Stefan Lessard says. "Things happened so organically and I think we've really captured the essence of what makes us gel so well as a band."

Although a track list has not yet been confirmed, among the songs expected to make the final cut are the vocal harmony-laden "Dream Girl," "Stolen Away," "Smooth Ride," "Hello Again," "Joy Ride," "Die Trying" and "Old Dirt Road."

As previously reported, DMB will embark on its annual summer tour beginning June 1 in Maryland Heights, Mo. The first Australian dates of the group's career begin March 21 in Melbourne.

[clayj41]

Yeah, it's been mentioned.

[gdmbman]

scratch that, found it on my second search, my bad. :thumbsdow

[oshman800]

so basically we can listen to American Baby tomorrow night on aol.... :hump

[dmb6743]

ok, since there is this thread i'll ask again:

will the song be posted on this website:

http://music.channel.aol.com/artist/main.adp?artistid=196505

coz thats an aol site, and i'm not a member and can watch the videos/songs perfectly fine

oh, and what about Louisian Bayou, didnt Dave say that would be on the album too?

[elcubano]

I want to know this too...

[jay41]

It'll spread one way or another if it is restricted to AOL members.

[dblock]

is that tonight at midnight or tomorow at midnight? cuz the 15th at midnight technically is just a few hours away

[elcubano]

It'll spread one way or another if it is restricted to AOL members.
Very true.

[nonewdirections]

this seems to me like a fancy way of saying that they're sending an mp3 instead of a promo CD. big fucking deal. :lol

[dblock]

any1 have a thought?

[gdmbman]

under radio aol it mentions something about first listens, maybe thats were it will launched from

[johnbro23]

Just wondering what you think DMB might do about releasing American Baby as a single on iTunes. I think they'd be dumb not to, because they'll get front page (in the iTunes Music Store) advertising for about a week. iTunes is the most used online music source, and iTunes is great for selling singles.

I dunno what they've got against iTunes, they have their stuff on Napster. It's not like they don't like Apple, Dave has a PowerBook ;)

[Tyggress]

The only thing that sucks...is DMB is the closest thing I listen to that "might" fit into "adult contemporary / alternative"...so now, I have to listen to a shit radio station that I normally would NEVER turn on in my car or otherwise, just to hear the single. That sucks!!! :freak

Worth the sacrafice, I suppose! :thumbsup :lol

I believe their rationale is that songs should exist as parts of an album, which is meant to be listened to and purchased as a whole.

[johnbro23]

I think I read somewhere that you can sell an "album only" on iTunes. I could be wrong, though.

[TMoore4075]

I like still being a member of AOL since they are apprently putting the song up there tomorrow. That will be sweet if thats whats gonna happen. AOL has some strong points. I just watched the Star Wars Episode III full trailer too.

[nonewdirections]

I think I read somewhere that you can sell an "album only" on iTunes. I could be wrong, though.
yeah, some albums have tracks which are album only (usually over 7 minutes or so). of course, if apple wanted to, they could sell dmb albums as "album-only" not allowing any single tracks to be downloaded. i don't really feel the need to get dmb's stuff on itunes though, and them being missing from there isn't much of a loss. why is it our concern how wildly popular their material is?

[siouxsiesue]

nice way to add to the st. patrick's day celebrations :)

[kevbo41]

i would have to guess tonight i hope so

[dntbrnthepig21]

they don't have anything on itunes right now. i have a scratched crash and i wanted to buy dl it off of there but they have NOTHING.

I agree, I wouldn't buy the new album off iTunes. I'd just buy a single (or two if they come out with a second) for a buck. It'd be the best buck I ever spent... wait, I bought Crash from a kid at school. Now thats a buck well spent :)

[nonewdirections]

here's the way i see it: i'll occaisionally use itunes for indie releases i can't get easily (no record stores in my area), but i don't really pay attention to single tracks. either a whole album is worth getting for me, or it isn't. i don't really want to spend $14 on a new dmb album, and then on top of it one month earlier spend $1 on a butchered single track from the album. that's where i'm coming from on the issue. i like the itunes store, generally, though.

[nonewdirections]

AOL has some strong points.

:lol Things like this though amount to bribery to keep their customers with them. AOL offers very few practical advantages and I'm happy to see them get hurt by the surge of home broadband use. They tried to jump aboard that train and mostly failed.

Anyway, I'm going to avoid hearing this song til the album actually comes out.

[goochylittlepig]

is that tonight at midnight or tomorow at midnight? cuz the 15th at midnight technically is just a few hours away
yeah, id like to find that out. i guess we'll know in 4 and a half hours... :multi

[Tyggress]

Anyway, I'm going to avoid hearing this song til the album actually comes out.

So, if it happens to come on the radio, will you change the station? Or are you not a radio-listener, anyways? :)

[nonewdirections]

I never listen to the radio, so that won't even be a temptation. :) And as luck would have it, none of my friends listen to DMB.

The only reason I am still a member is because my parents are still paying for it at home. But that wont be for long.

[dmbosw41]

would be too nice to hear it tonight!

[scotty12]

I will be more than happy to host the new song on my fast as shit university server if people are goiong to tape/put it up tonight.
pm, aim, etc.

Well yeah, that's what I would have guessed. I would be shocked if anyone under the age of 40 or so who pays their own bills would go near AOL. It's a really bad value.

[conspiersacy]

what are you going to say when you find out these are fake?

why are some people so doubtful? these are 100% accurate, trust me. i'm the source. you can apologize when you find out the truth in 29 hours.

[WastingTime]

I can't wait for the single to come out. this summer is going to kick ass.. sweet lyrics thanks!

[goochylittlepig]

why are some people so doubtful? these are 100% accurate, trust me. i'm the source. you can apologize when you find out the truth in 29 hours.

maybe cuz youve made only 5 posts, including this one? i believe you, i'm just sayin why some may not... if you're still around, is it scheduled for aol at midnight on the 15th meaning in 4 hours, or in 28 hours, when midnight will technically start the 16th?
thanks!

[dmbkristin]

wait, wait, wait...will it be on this website:

coz that's aol, and im not an aol member and i can get those videos and songs with ease, if in fact that is the correct website.

Really? It doesn't ask you to sign on?

I have AOL on my computer (my parents' account) but I'm using another provider and when I click on the links on that page it asks me to sign on.

If it says "midnight on the 15th" then it means midnight as in a few hours from now.

[iPond317]

Apple can [and does] sell iTunes as album only. They do it for many artists, I think it's stupid for DMB not to sell their music on iTunes as it's the #1 online digital audio hotspot. As far as the Beatles music goes... there's been a huge legal battle between Apple Computer and Apple Music (the Beatle's record label) which I'm pretty sure has something to do with the Beatle's not being on iTunes. Hope that helps!

[TMoore4075]

DMB is on Napster now not on itunes. And on napster you can only buy the albums for DMB not the tracks.

[Joe M.]

DMB (management) has invested interest in Napster. You won't see DMB on iTunes (until they give up on Napster).

[willndmb]

i am suprized to see dmb on napster even
they are big on selling stuff thru their own website, and all are overpriced
so if they do anything it will be for DL there, but still not worth it when you can get the case and everything printed for less at any major store

[#40BigEyedFish]

DMB (management) has invested interest in Napster. You won't see DMB on iTunes (until they give up on Napster).


hahaha 'invested interest' that means that got stock in it!

no wonder they ll put in on there, it ll be like :monkey dance for us monkeys dance, make the stock rise

[dmbkristin]

I just saw that RS said "midnight tomorrow" so then it might be tomorrow night not tonight. I guess we'll find out in 4 hours. :lol

[johnbro23]

DMB (management) has invested interest in Napster. You won't see DMB on iTunes (until they give up on Napster).

So you're saying that Napster's paying them to have their collection exclusively?

Thanks, iPond, I didn't know that. That clears up the debate on weather or not iTunes allows album only downloads. I wonder whats holding Apple back from making a deal with DMB?

[#40BigEyedFish]

i think these lyrics will sound good w/ the vibe comin from the music, from what i ve read on the big 3 (ants, nancies, ami) AB will be a good upbeat song (the BOWA analogy got me excited and thought maybe CE evolved into AB). christ not all of dave's lyrics are deep and mind blowing, look at OSW, TM, BOWA

[kevbo41]

im crossing my fingers!

[TMoore4075]

I will stay up till midnight to see for sure.

This may be out of place with the way the thread is going but..anyone find it interesting that the first place American Baby, a song about basically being american and staying american, will 'most likely' be played live is in australia? Maybe he will change the lyrics to be "stay australian baby" haha it will be interesting to see how that goes, especially to see how the crowd reacts to it in reviews. maybe they just wont play any new songs at all though, we will see

by the way... this is my first post, i hope i did this right

I think that I read somewhere (but I have read so much that this may not be right), that the band was only planning on playing old songs and the five that debuted over the summer in Australia, and that they are saving the new material for the tour here...

too bad these guys can't protect against the old reliable audio tape. these idiots always protect digital to digital piracy. have they forgotten all about digital to analog to digital piracy? an mp3 of this will be out at 12:04:32 -- give or take a few seconds because i'm not sure if the final track time is 3:42 or not. it's close though. ;)

[johnbro23]

7 - very commercial song, to release the album and make success

dude this is angel from montgomery. dave covered it a couple of times, but i cant remember right now who originally played it.



this song definatly has great live potential. carter always adds to his drum beats, leroi will tear that ending up, and the actual studio recording isn't that bad. i like it. i think it has potential. different, yet similar, kinda feel.
