They’ve addressed both of the major reasons that I don’t buy songs from the iTunes store, albeit at a slightly higher price. Hopefully the rest of the major labels will follow along, and we’ll finally see an end to this whole DRM thing. I’m also hoping this means EMI tracks will start showing up on eMusic soon…

I’m usually not all that enthusiastic about online petitions, but in this case I think it may be worth a shot. If you’re interested, head over to the site and add your name to the list. Even if they don’t actually get Wilco it’ll be useful to show that there’s a base of people in the region interested in bringing interesting, innovative bands to town.

Update: Now that I look at the site again, it looks like they’re having an “Awareness Concert” on the 16th. With 5 bands it looks like it could be a good show, but why the heck did they schedule it on a Tuesday?

It was a great festival, and I’ve been meaning to write up some reviews of the shows, accompanied by some photos, but it’s coming up on a month after and it’s still not happening. So here’s one of my favorite shots from the concert. More may be forthcoming, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.
