cdanteek Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 More Article "The Mail on Sunday has gone on sale today featuring Prince's new 10-track album and as seen to the right (showing the Irish version), the paper surely makes it eye-catching. In Ireland, recent CD album releases typically retail for €20 to €30, so even if one just buys the paper to get the disc, the paper only costs €2. What is interesting, is that going by recent reports, this paper has paid Price £500,000 (US$1 million) to give away its album, so the artist is surely not losing out. In fact, the only ones who lose out, is the middleman, i.e. the music industry." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerman Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I don't blame Prince one bit. Most artists wish they had the control over their music like he does. I'm not a Prince fan but I tip my hat to him for what he's done especially against Sony. Years ago Bowie started selling his music online, and now many others are following if slowly. I hear Frampton may do the same thing. However, free music via the newspaper is very different. I wonder what The Mail is paying for this 'priveledge'.

jeanrosenfeld Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 I would not buy the Daily Mail for anything :-). It's the one newspaper (well, the Daily Telegraph is another) I would not even pick up if I saw a copy abandoned on seat in a train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gi7omy Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Oh I agree Jean - as a newspaper its reputation stinks (there was a humorous song written about it here back in the days of the Tan War in the 1920s). I only get it for the TV guide (it's about the best one for the cable channels) Now Ireland's a very funny place, sir It's a strange and a troubled land And the Irish are a very funny race, sir Every girl's in the Cumann na mBan Every doggie wears a tri-coloured ribbon Tied firmly to its tail And it wouldn't be surprising If there'd be another rising Said the man from the Daily Mail Every bird upon my word Is singing treble - I'm a rebel Every hen it's said is laying hand grenades Over there sir, I declare Sir And every cock in the farmyard Stock crows in triumph for the Gael And it wouldn't be surprising If there'd be another rising Said the man from the Daily Mail Now the other day I travelled down to Clare, sir I spied in an old boreen A bunch of busy gooses there, sir Dressed in orange, white and green They marched to the German goose step As they whistled Grainne Mhaol and I'm shakin' in me shoes As I'm sending out the news Said the man from the Daily Mail Every bird upon my word Is singing treble - I'm a rebel Every hen it's said is laying hand grenades Over there sir, I declare Sir And every cock in the farmyard Stock crows in triumph for the Gael And it wouldn't be surprising If there'd be another rising Said the man from the Daily Mail Now the whole place is seething with sedition It's Sinn Fein through and through All the peelers they are joining local units And the password's Sinn Fein too Every doggie wears a tri-coloured ribbon Tied firmly to its tail And it wouldn't be surprising If there'd be another rising Said the man from the Daily Mail Every bird upon my word Is singing treble - I'm a rebel Every hen it's said is laying hand grenades Over there sir, I declare Sir And every cock in the farmyard Stock crows in triumph for the Gael And it wouldn't be surprising If there'd be another rising Said the man from the Daily Mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandpabruce Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Didn't take you for a Prince fan! cd Prince can play a guitar better than the preivous best guitar player in the world, the late great Jimi Hendrix. Who wouldn't be a fan? Okay, I didn't really care for his music, but he plays a mean guitar, and his performance at the Super Bowl, in February, was the best half time show that I have seen. Are you describing the forum cops or the Daily Mail? cd ROFLMAO! You troll, you. And, I am a moderate, but when my back is hurting, I lean a little to the right.

Being from the North Country with all the fishing at the lake, I will take the "troll" as a figure of speech. As far as the back hurting, the editing, binning, and closing, must be a heavy load! cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
