Re: Issa on NPR!

Dunno, but as far as I know - the radiohead release was a flop in the 
sense that their fans just downloaded it for free and didn't pay...and 
things have flucuated on Issa site as to how many people pay or pay 
later or dont pay at all. Some of that could be seasonal...like around 
the holidays - less people might pay?

anyway, so far - i think the best thing it's done is gotten both of them 
a bunch of press.  the radiohead release has just been put out on iTunes 
and so on....as a regular release.
