It's funny, after the imminent crash and burn of recorded music due to

Napster was predicted, record companies are now using it for marketing.


Funniest example was Fatboy Slim's new single, Bird of Prey. Skint saw it

was available on Napster before release, but didn't mind, cos they thought

it was ultimately good for them. Until they downloaded some of the tracks:

they found American unknown bands had just relabelled their songs as Fatboy

Slim to get them downloaded. Or maybe Fatboy has gone soft MOR rock?
