Who's listening to The Grey Album [NYTimes]? Also additional info here and here.

I heard about it, but felt little reason to get my hands on it. I don't care much for that Grey Tuesday idea myself though. I can appreciate what some feel as an expression of freedom, but what they're fighting for is free use of other peoples work whenever they want. A decent fight when it comes to honorable people, but a larger overall legal headache than they seem to realize.

I'm trying to get my hands on it now, I've heard good things about it. Ask me again in an hour and i'll tell you what i think of it... It seems like a pertty cool concept though.

What's everyone's favourite track?

Just d/l it today and listened to it...it's an interesting listen...at times the mix is seamless and sound sonically coherent...at other times it just sounds like two different sounds competing with each other. Will definitely require more listen to better evaluate.

I enjoyed the grey album a fair amount. Grey Tuesday isn't about letting sample artists sell stuff with samples for nothing... it's about setting reasonable precedents for licensing methods.

Well i've given it a few listens now, and i really like it. Put simply it's just Jay-Z rapping over The Beatles, but DJ Dangermouse has mixed it really well.

I had heard about the album a while ago (from slashdot) but wasn't aware of grey tuesday till this post. It's amazing how something like that can be organsised, and how the album made gold in a day, all from approximately 400 sites... Wow.
