I totally understand your comment, i also remember when i waited for albums to hit the shelves and buy them and find myself with empty pockets just to make me work harder and get more $ to buy more music. But i have to say that downloading has became the only way in this times of recession, last year i bought a new bass, laptop, ipods, cured my dog, went on to travel, bought first class dope, books and...Vinyl! I just hate cds and the recording industry for trying to make their money suing people who download shitty music, for not even trying to adapt to the times, what costs them cents to make becomes a lot of money in the final pricing and the artists don´t even see half of that money. Downloading i have met more artists in the last 3 years than in my whole life, and i support all of those bands when thay come to my city. I am happy that vinyl is back because you actually get what you pay for and have a decent piece of artwork and the coolest sound. Don´t feel bad if you were leaked, think about it as free press and if you keep making the great music you make you will have no more dilemmas with leaks. Damn it man, what can someone say?

I've been in South Korea for the past 5 months and will be here for another 5, and honestly I've been starved of music here, until I found secure internet to begin an avalanche of downloading (some artists at John's recommendation). When you posted the first video on this website, that catalyst began a cultish like effort on my part to hunt down TSS on the internet. I searched everyday at least twice a day, more until it finally leaked, (Compliments on the record, I'll offer my true expression of my feelings for the record when I'm back in Seattle at your guys' show... or when you come to Seoul) and I've never been so anxious for a record to come out. Your record has been a treat to play over and over again as I live and travel this city, and has been a gold mine of ideas for me to ingest and regurgitate in my own fashion with my acoustic guitar, alone in a giant city, because nobody here knows Portugal.The Man (besides a few Europeans I've introduced PTM to... I'm working on the Koreans). Coming from a fellow artist, I understand your thoughts and feelings on downloading music (especially your ideas on community, which were spot on), and just as importantly, the logistics and depressing math that goes into the gypsy-like life of the touring band. Know I'll be purchasing a copy of TSS on vinyl when I return, but until then, I'll be playing the shit out of this record, which will forever be apart of my 'Korea' experience.

I can certainly imagine that if I was an artist who barely made a living off of my music, I'd be upset. This was one of my most anticipated albums of the year, and I will admit that I downloaded it probably the very hour that it leaked. However, I promptly convinced my mom to let me borrow her credit card, and I pre-ordered the album along with a shirt - the album definitely deserves that. If you guys ever come to southern Ontario I'll do my best to be there along with a few friends and buy some stuff =D. Interesting to hear your thoughts on the leak.
