underworld are giving away a hundred days off for free

Mmm [skyscraper I love you] curious - I wonder why ?

i dunno. weird, innit?

Simple email harvesting/promotion - expect to see more ads for Viagra and pee-pee enlargement.

nah, it's the official underworld store, so i severely doubt that.

in fact here's the privacy policy: http://app.topspin.net/account/privacypolicy_public

Ah, good to know. Well, I wouldn't mind any Underworld-related emails anyways!

It's to promote their olympic music thingy. 100 days to go apparently.

What nice guys eh? That's a good album too. They already have my email, but I already have that album so, you know.

That's going to be rad to see them or something they produced, on the world stage.

hundred days off is a good album for sure. four or five really well produced tracks.
