Why isn't the actual Negativeland "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" single on there?

(x-post)
it comes pre-loaded with seven negativland albums but not the song "u2"? what's the point??

I guess that CD is still lawsuit-bait.

Yeah, but this whole thing is kind of lawsuit bait anyway. What not just put it on there as double 'fuck you'?

if i'm reading it correctly, someone bought a u2 ipod, altered the box, put some negativland songs in it and is now re-selling it as a used, customized ipod. can't see any negative legal issues there.

I am in a Film Studies Library and the only kid here is watching Sonic Outlaws...all about this age old battle. Have people seen this?

Is that the Craig Baldwin (have I got the last name right?) film?

― Alex in SF (Alex in SF), Friday, 3 December 2004 00:32 (twenty years ago)

Yeah. Craig Baldwin. He has interviews/segments on Negativeland, John Oswald, the Tape-Beatles, EBN, and the Barbie Liberation Organization...

Definately worth finding/seeing.

haha I know the guy who made this! at least I knew him a little bit in Minneapolis and later NYC.

yeah i think it's great, it'd be cooler if it had 'still haven't found what i'm looking for' on it but in terms of accomplishing what it wants to - raise money for a presumably worthy cause - than this is the way to go. plus obv. it's not like it would be too hard to dl the negativland track yrself.

That's not a very good collection of Negativland albums. And I think it should have included some lawn clippings or bits of wallpaper or something.
