Kid A on Napster? No.

Last night on Napster the entire album appeared through a few users. All the correct songs, all the correct track #’s, even the hidden track at the end…. except it was a clever hoax. “Treefingers” was among the most ingenious creations, obviously the hoaxers own inpromptu jam on his mic and bongos that spanned an entire 9 minutes! This clever trick had a good number of us scrambling to download as fast as we possibly could – all to find we’d been had!

As of this Friday, you will not be able to sign on to Napster and share your mp3’s.
