Note to labels, major and indie alike: stop sending DRM and watermark-laden music to journalists plzkthx. Mike Riggs has a great piece in the Washington City Paper this week, which sheds light on the practice of sending “protected” promos to critics. My response to Riggs’ piece—wherein I recount the time that a Death Cab For Cutie promo tried to kill my computer—can be found here. P.S. have you heard this new Atlas Sound/Panda Bear song? It is totally rivaling the Dirty Projectors’ “Stillness is the Move” for the all-important title of Summer Jam ‘09. Here is a DRM and watermark-free MP3 for your listening pleasure.
