 Post subject: The best thing about an iTunes only release...Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2005 11:05 am 
... is decorating your own copy of the new EP! 
How I did it: Last week I bought a pack of CD-Rs that have a blank matte white surface, supposedly for use in special ink printers, which I do not have. I recognized the potential for self-expression and customization, however, and decided that not only is that what I'll do with my first EP, but there's no better test subject than the new Eisley release. I used Sharpie markers and one silver pen (for the title). Van Gogh-licious! _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

I miss burning cds then decorating them these days it all just goes onto my pod I hear that. I can't update my iPod until my PowerBook is repaired, so burning CDs is a way of life for the next couple of months. _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

yay i ahve revelent things to say first i do not have an ipod and i love burning and decorating cds sooo much that i really dont want an ipod i guess because id miss it. second i dont have itunes so in my opinion itunes eps suck.... i probably should dl it, but i think itunes might be the end of the modern cd as it is. _________________ But I cannot discover any advantage except in honor, in glory, and in right action.

I would have thought that would go for a release on any internet-based music outlet. Not just iTunes. JD _________________ "Well, hopefully that's our job, to strap rockets onto everything." - Adam Savage, Mythbusters |

I tried to make mine creative... but "Head Against the Sky EP" and "Eisley" in black letters didn't look all that awesome. _________________ EisleyForever wrote: you're A-list in my heart! MAKECOLDPLAYHISTORY |

For some reason that made me think of Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night! Great job.  _________________ You're just jealous 'cause we're young & in love. |

Great job. That was the whole idea. I tried to get the swirlies right, but it didn't come out all that great in Sharpie.
Thanks for the comments, all! _________________ INTELLECT AND ROMANCE OVER BRUTE FORCE AND CYNICISM Smokemonster |

Looks nice. Worst part about the EP- 3 Live tracks, which I will never buy. Too many free live versions of those songs. I did buy the new studio song though, and love it. _________________ http://apturnofftheradio.blogspot.com |
