Rancid Allows Music Samples in MP3
Through their official website, the California band Rancid is offering two MP3 downloads from the group's new album. The songs "Don Giovanni" and "Disgruntled" are available to visitors as "samples" of the upcoming tunes. These are just two of four songs that Rancid has okayed for their fans to hear before the music has actually gone public. The currently untitled album will hit stores on August 1st, 2000.
Even though these MP3's aren't full in length, I give Rancid a pat on the back for using digital technology in a positive way. Since their music is new/unheard and hasn't been stolen out of the recording studio (think Madonna) it is a good way for the band to let their fans know what expect off their next album.

I have followed Rancid's career from the beginning. They have always been open to promotion in the form of any means. |

um, they're not full-length tracks? aren't rancid songs only like 90 seconds long or something anyway? if the standard preview length of 30 secs is an eighth of a song, does that mean this is 12 seconds? feh. |
