WHITE FLAG (my next CD) will be in stores July 12th but can be pre-ordered for only $5 at my shows and pre-ordered on-line at various websites like shaungroves.com for a little more. OR you can buy an illegal “pre-release not for sale” copy (given to our “friends” in media, retail and radio) from this joker on e-bay. Only three days left to bid on this item. And my has the crowd pummeled this seller with a bevy of bids. A whopping none so far. Hope that’s not a predictor of things to come for this CD. I have a SHLOG to fund.
The seller has been warned that selling this CD is a violation of copyright law and that selling it for so little is a violation of my self-esteem.
(Thanks to Amy aka. “Hopelives” from the message-board for the scoop on this infidel and his shady auction)

Man, that makes me mad… as someone working in the media. That’s just an abuse of privilege – if people keep on doing stuff like that or like uploading the songs for illegal download at some sites (which I know has happened to artists in the past), labels and/or artists will not want to send us those pre-release copies any more, and that makes me mad. I enjoy getting prereleases, when I do. Which unfortunately is very rare. The vast majority of the time, I have to get the CD just like everybody else (although I would enjoy this album… it’s tempting to bid on it). However, I will bide my time and wait for it’s release.
Man… selling it early and for so cheap on Ebay. That’s just wrong.
