Yo La Tengo - "Fade" - Streaming on Pitchfork's Advance
http://pitchfork.com/advance/1-fade/
I am not so sure about the Advance website, seeing as if I am streaming something I am certainly working in the foreground, but if it means more high quality advance streams then I am all for it.

The website seems to promise
more than it can deliver (they make it seem like a revolution rather than just another way to stream an album).
Having said that, Yo La Tengo! who can complain.
The album is short, sweet and perfect for dark wintry nights.
Ahhh I love Yo La Tengo
'Well You Better' sounds like 'All Your Secrets' and as the latter is one of my favourite songs ever that is no bad thing.
was going to start a thread about Pitchfork Advance in general...
but let's just go with this, sounds a pretty decent album too.
I think having a pop-out player (like NPR) is best because people often stream alongside other tasks...but really I'm the set-up really prevents people from doing this. Sometimes I actually do just like to stare at the artwork, if its good.
I guess one positive you could say is, if Pitchfork are now involved, even more bands will be encouraged to go down this route, until it becomes the done thing.
Just tried to play Dilla's Donuts on this
Bit of a shambles; big breaks between the tracks which completely ruins the flow of the record (pretty much all the tracks should segue into each other). In this case I already own a copy of the record, but it puts me off listening to a record for the first time on Advance.
Clearly needs a lot of work, I'd rather stream elsewhere or download.
