But first a message from our sponsor...

Peter Gabriel shakes the tree, ad-supported MP3s fall out
"Peter Gabriel is one of the founding investors of a new music download service that offers tracks for free to users who are willing to listen to ads. The service, called We7 for some reason, offers MP3 versions of tracks with advertising attached to the beginning of songs. Four weeks after downloading the track, the user can then download a version without the ad. Artists get paid by the advertisers, music lovers get free tunes, and advertisers get to reach music lovers."
An interesting concept. Not entirely sure how I feel about it, but... What do you think?

If ya gots garageband or something similar, you can just send that mp3 to the cleaners & get rid of that dirty advertising.
