Ok, it's pretty much June 3. Has anyone got this song from the cases of beer yet? I thought it was supposed to drop at the start of June. Can any Ontarians help the rest of us Hipsters out? :thumb:

King of Beer launches campaign supporting Canadian musicians
First-time entrant wows World Beer Cup judges
TORONTO , ON – Budweiser, the number one selling beer in the world, today announces Budweiser True Music, an exclusive online program that helps showcase up-and-coming bands as well as established artists while giving adult music fans an opportunity to download pre-paid music.
For a limited time, specially-marked cases of Budweiser's 28-bottle King Pack will contain a True Music booklet with a PIN number enabling fans to download three pre-paid tracks from a library play list on <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.budweiser.ca">www.budweiser.ca</a><!-- w --> . The site features music from Finger Eleven, The Trews and Barlow as well as a host of emerging artists from across the country, including independent rock bands Earrl and Mudmen.
Alan Cross, an expert on new music and host of a nationally syndicated radio show, author of four books and more than a dozen CD compilations on the topic says: “There are few gigs tougher than being a Canadian indie band. Thousands of groups across the country are willing to endure the late nights playing in front of rough crowds, the endless road trips and living on super-tight budgets just so their music can be heard--and in the hope that one day, they'll get their moment in the sun. This kind of passion forms the foundation of rock'n'roll in this country.”
Cross continued: “Programs like Budweiser's True Music recognize the challenges faced by Canadian indie bands and offer these groups an opportunity to get their music in front of potential fans from coast to coast. It's an innovative and exciting way to make that vital connection with the lifeblood of Canadian rock'n'roll.”
Budweiser True Music indie bands will be featured in the True Music radio advertising campaign and on Bud Radio. For the second year, Bud Radio will air across Canada with a full hour of radio programming devoted to “new music” that ranges in style from rock to hip hop and alternative.
Rich Swinamer, lead singer of Toronto 's independent rock band Earrl, has been touring extensively for 10 years, playing across Canada and in parts of the U.S. “Every bit of exposure helps when you are an independent artist. As an indie band, you want to get recognized and need to promote yourself; it can get very expensive and the money isn't always there to do it properly. The Budweiser True Music program provides a wide range of exposure that will hopefully help build our fan base, get us recognized by a label and make our dreams of becoming full time musicians a reality.”
“Building on the success of Bud Radio, which showcases Canadian talent, True Music furthers Budweiser's commitment to supporting the music and entertainment industry by giving beer lovers and music fans an opportunity to listen to some of Canada's best musicians, both new and established,” says Nigel Miller , director of public affairs, Labatt Breweries of Canada which brews, distributes and markets Budweiser in Canada.
Beer drinkers of legal drinking age can also log onto to <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.budweiser.ca">www.budweiser.ca</a><!-- w --> for the chance to win a trip for two to the Budweiser True Music Fest in the U.S. , an exclusive Dave Matthews Band show.
Budweiser, the world's best-selling beer, has been brewed and distributed in Canada by Labatt since 1980. The brand is distinguished by its clean, crisp, distinctive flavour, the result of a unique beechwood aging process. In addition, to Budweiser, Labatt also brews and distributes Bud Light.
Labatt Breweries of Canada is one of the nation's longest-established and most successful companies. A proud brewer of quality beers, Labatt employs 3,800 Canadians, operates eight breweries from coast to coast and distributes in 40 countries. Labatt is part of Belgian-based Interbrew S.A., The World's Local Brewer © .

Worked last night (At the Beer Store) and we had about 10 of the old cases of Labatt 28's to sell before we start stocking the new cases. I saw them, all wrapped up, black cases, with all the bands logos on them, including The Hip's old gargoyle-style logo. I'll do my best (I work again on Friday) to snag a copy. No promises, but I'll see what I can do.

Think I saw Heaven Is a Better Place Today on the main directory of The Hundredth Meridian ftp.
06-03-2004, 03:39 PM
Busker is right...the song in on the FTP...I'm downloading it now and it should be done in 2 minutes. If you're on MSN or yahoo or AIM let me know and I can send it to you rather than jamming up hundredthmeridian. I'm on Wflowerfan on all three accounts. :thumb:

Quick question from somebody whose never used the FTP before... when you get the "page cannot be displayed" message after clicking on the FTP hyperlink itself, does that mean the thing is full... or am I doing something wrong?
