Why buy "Exile on Mainstream", the new album from Matchbox Twenty, on CD when you can buy it on USB bracelet?
"Available exclusively at Best Buy, the $35 item includes all 17 songs from the album (released Oct. 2), music video How Far We've Come, another video with band interviews, a digital booklet with album art and other band items to customize your computer," USA Today said.
"'I just think it's neat,' says lead singer Rob Thomas. 'It's really fun knowing how much is inside that wristband.'"
Is this going to replace CDs? It's kind of cool to be able to wear your music collection on your wrist. I don't know how far this will go, but it's an interesting idea.
