who we believe have just teamed up with Google to make music playable from search pages. Can anyone in the US confirm this? The deal doesn’t seem to stretch as far as the UK.

Meanwhile, our latest album has also been added to Rhapsody:

Quite why Year Zero has a greyed-out play button will be investigated.

This is all a major turnaround: barely a week after being told by CD Baby that their new system had “brought things to a standstill” and that many companies “ask that we wait until they are ready for us to send more albums to them”, they’re managing to do what should have been done three months ago. I think it’s clear that somebody behind the scenes flamingoed up (one for all you Red Dwarf devotees), but they didn’t want to admit it for some reason.

Oh well, we look forward to being added to more online distributors in the near future.
