Something for All of Us...
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Something for All of Us... is the debut solo album by Broken Social Scene co-founder Brendan Canning. The album is the second in a series entitled Broken Social Scene Presents:, with each album in the series being a particular member's solo efforts, assisted by fellow Broken Social Scene members—the first being Kevin Drew's Spirit If.... "Hit the Wall" is the album's first single and was made available as a free download on the Arts & Crafts website on May 5, 2008. The album was released to retail on July 22, 2008.[5] Due to the leak of an unmastered version in mid-June, Canning has released the album as a digital download.[6] Quoted on the Arts&Crafts website,[7] Canning said:

It has come to my attention that an unmastered version of my album has been leaked through the internet. With the retail release being six weeks away, I've decided to correct the situation by releasing the album digitally myself, because I can. So this is for all you early birds who just couldn't wait for July 22nd. But you know, it won't be like going to your favourite record shop and getting a copy in your hot little hands, or sitting in your basement downloading it to your iTouch [sic] phone while playing Grand Theft Auto, it merely corrects the situation that is...a messed up version of my record floating around on the internet, and this is not how I wanted my record to drop. Believe me, this is not a minor situation. We're talking recall here folks...With all of this in mind, please note: 'Something for all of us...' will be available at all fine retail and digital outlets in North America July 22nd with some additional artwork inside and slightly later for the rest of the world. |
