Saul Williams is pretty darn genius so let more people have the record. why not. Yeah, the pre-order page is straight out of Radiohead's book of minimalist consumerism, complete with the ? box. The only mistake in my mind is the phrasing. "I'm not concerned about that.I just want the music. $0." is the equivalent of the click OK pop-up box or do not save password box or what have you that you click without even thinking. Everyone's eyes go to that big fat $0, especially with the other box listing not just $5 but images of 4 major credit cards and a PayPal icon. The wise, ethical consumer will download the record for free and if they enjoy/appreciate it, go back and download the HQ version for $5. You don't have to even LOVE the album -- just realize that alot more work went into it than, say, a $7 cocktail. And, yes, kitteh needs eyepatch.</p>
