Maybe they're just seeing the way the market is changing. Soon you won't be able to make money from CDs at all, so touring will be the thing .. and then you need to get your stuff out there so people know who you are.

On another note, I've seen nina lurking around the boards, biding her time while preparing perhaps this thread. Even if you think her motives are somehow corrupted or the band is ****, she still has contributed with a good review. If someone comes to this site thinking "hey, maybe there's a review of MRI's debut", her thread should come up in the search. That's her putting time and effort into giving something to musicbanter and when that comes from a new member, I think it should be applauded - not frowned upon. This thread has so far generated too much hostility and not enough praise .. and that's not Nina's fault.
