On thehip.com in the discography section, there is a little IBE poster that you can click on and sample any of the new songs. I would say it plays about a minute or more of each one, much longer than any of the other site's previews.
They must have a lot of faith in the new album to put that up there considering that anyone could preview it there and then not buy the album.
I wish more bands would do this. I think it is a great idea.
Do you think there is a reason they did this? I think they did it for IVL as well.
Maybe since Rounder isn't helping them out much as far as promotions they are taking the bull by the horns and doing it themselves. Now, its just a matter if anybody actually goes a bit further into the site than the main page.

I personally think they should do that for eveyr album, especially for people who know nothing of the Hip and suddenly say, "Oh, they do that song? Wow, I'll take ten copies!"
