Ages before, like about a month. I'm still very keen to hear those again if anyone still has them (preferably the track with them all on together).

As for this survey/validating "leak". I can confirm it's false as I'm apparently still validating and I've just given up and closed the page. My PC now has herpes.

That's my guess. With the new bond w/ iTunes that we've seen as of late (bootlegs, singles), I'd think they'd start streaming it on Tuesday.

If they do it won't be the whole thing. Because you'd basically be leaking it yourself.

Loads of bands are streaming the entire album around a week before release.

I think if this leaks, that may happened. If it's still locked up tighter than a whale's butthole, not a chance.

I'd like to see the methodology for how they are calculating this. If it's just taking into account the fact the PJ Radio basically streams PJ 24/7, and doesn't account for how many unique users are actually listening to PJ Radio online or on Sirius, that seems pretty flawed.

And Elvis had his own channel on Sirius long before PJ did.

Right... and Bruce has his own station too so they probably are counting it.

Wouldn't surprise me, but wasn't there a bitchfest for Backspacer, when there weren't enough copies for the shows and PJ had to take care of Target, first?

I recently re-listened Ten and was very surprised in the excess of piano in Black, I´m not an anti-piano person but I definitely prefer guitar when there´s a space to fill. I think, the demo of Black is one of my favorites, it´s not as epic as the released version but is piano-less and rougher. http://youtu.be/FhajAij7XcI

One time the power went out here in the office. After about a half hour I told the gang I was going to 'will' the power on and it would be on at 10:02 am. It came on at 10:02 am. I haven't used this power since then because, well, it frightened me..and them..but in the interest of our...um...shared interests. I'm ready to deploy this power again....
