So yeah… leaked albums get musicians down. You know I’ll get an mp3 to you all the first chance I can, xoxo
From Stephan Jenkins of Third Eye Blind:
“Wow! I leave the country and my album ends up leaking. I was in Jakarta performing for the fine citizens of Indonesia after their devastating terrorist attack — I can’t speak more highly of the country. I am asking for all those downloaders who illegally downloaded our new album, please donate some money to your local charity. And to those leakers who posted the wrong album, well, shame on you for being lazy. You guys know the lyrics and presentation are important to us. Rock on!”
Edit: Ursa Major was released on Itunes and Amazon today ($3.99 today), and is streaming on their MySpace page, go have a listen 
You know, I’ve thought much of Third Eye Blind but I’m impressed with their reaction and the idea of charity donations. Stephan Jenkins: cool points awarded!
Agreed! I have to say, I’ve always liked the band, I’m a sucker for pop/punk/pop/whatever and this only impresses me more because whether or not the story is true – if it’s the real version or not – it does kind of suck to put a lot of energy and money into a design (the whole package of a thing) and then have part of it dribble out without their knickers on!
