Uncharacteristically behind the times, Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers has been complaining because his band's upcoming new album 'Stadium Arcadium' has been leaked onto the internet ahead of release (behind the times because such leaks are surely pretty standard for any hotly-anticipated release these days, and not really worth agonising about).
Writing on the band's website, Flea writes: "For people to just steal a poor sound quality version of it for free because some asshole stole it and put it on the internet is sad to me. I cannot put in words how much this record means to us, how sacred the sound of it is to us, and how many sleepless nights and hardworking days we all had thinking about how to make it be the best sounding thing we could. Now for someone to take it and put it out there with this poor sound quality it is a painful pill for us to swallow."
Personally I think the fact that fans are so eager to hear your new album that they will go to the effort of finding and downloading it, despite the poor sound quality, just to get a sneaky preview, is actually rather a big compliment.
