Herein lies the problem. I did the unthinkable and tried to read the NYT article while listening. The above link has been updated.
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->As promised, here’s the free stream the National’s latest release High Violet on the NY Times website. When you go there, you’ll also see a five-page article on the band, which you’ll be tempted to read, because it’s well-written, although since the streaming player doesn’t pop out, if you go to page 2, the music stops. The leftist media battle between NPR and NY Times (the one that probably only exists in my mind) concerning the streaming of new indie rock, all I can say at the moment is that at least with NPR that shit pops out.
And then, as if I asked for it, after making sure whether I was right or wrong about paging thing, going back and forth from page 1 to 2, the music just disappeared? No more player on page 1. What the fuck. I guess you only get so many times on the page? Well, at least you’ve been warned. Listen and then read, or read and then listen. Or you can just listen, and then don’t read at all. Unless there’s another explanation for its disappearance.
Um, enjoy? I’ll just be sitting here in silence.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
