Is it just gonna be me Screwball and Esthete who are gonna hold out? I've rarely been more jealous, but I always make a promise myself not to listen until it's released. At least this way there's gonna be some sweet surprises in for me with live from Bathouse... Bastards. :wink:

I'm with you too.

When Music@Work was leaked, I drove around for a month with a bootlegged *cassette* of it in my car (that my brother made for me off his CD download of the leaked version) and would only allow myself to listen to My Music at Work and the opening bit of Tiger the Lion (cuz I forgot to hit "eject" one day).

IVL never seemed to leak, did it? I remember going to HMV a couple days before it was officially released and they had it on the listening posts, so i listened to IAGLIYDW and bits and pieces of some others, then I felt dirty and left.

I can't remember any leak storys about IBE, but with World Container, when they streamed it on the website, I only allowed myself to listen to In View (yech) because it was in wide-release already, and Rink and Fly, because I had heard them in concert the summer before.

So, I'll continue the trend of holding out, or at least only listening to Morning Moon and Love is a First if I stumble across it.

Everyone else -- enjoy and I'll catch up with you on April 7.

No way man, I'm holding out too.

I'm holding out too. Call me old fashioned but I like going to the record store to pick up an album the day it comes out. Listening to it ahead of time would completely ruin the experience...
