Worth staying up past midnight tonight?

edited July 2009 in The Porch
In light of the fact that 10C continues to be tight lipped on the info, who thinks it is worth staying up late in hopes that The Fixer becomes available for download at midnight?

My prediction is that it will not be available immediately at 12:00 for digital download, but I have no evidence to support this.

Does anybody remember how similar things have worked in the past? I know there is not a lot of precedent regarding digital downloads...

I have to be at work REALLY early tomorrow AM, so I'm debating the merits of going on limited sleep.

    I highly doubt it...they don't seem to do much releasing of anything on the weekends or late night. I say get your rest...

    I would much prefer to purchase it via 10C, rather than through iTunes, in order to directly support the band (and for sentimental reasons). However, I don't know if I can hold off if iTunes posts it first. It sure would be great if 10C would pass along some info regarding the digital release!!! It definitely seems like a "win, win, win" situation (see The Office).

    Considering the official press release from PJ, as well as multiple articles have said it will be available Monday, July 20, I am going to have to disagree with you.

    The question is, when does itunes usually release new music? I have never tried to buy something like that from itunes, or any other online retailer, so I don't know if it is 12:01 am, or 7:00 am, or noon, or what. I will be up at midnight anyways, so I am not worried about it, but I can't wait to hear the new song!
    words seem so out of place.

    Just pure excitement and anticipation of new material. That's all. Call it an addiction.

    That sounds like a good plan . . . I'm going to do the same. I have to leave for work at 6:30.

    my guess would be .99 cents each from iTunes (if Supersonic is included). maybe 10c will hook us all up with a free download? 8-)

    I think WWS was free, but if you wanted Unemployable you could get it bundled together for 99 cents at the iTunes store.. If the same is true for Supersonic, I will be paying for it from iTunes.

    Alice in Chains had "A Looking In View" up a little after midnight on Amazon MP3 and iTunes the day of release, hopefully Pearl Jam do the same thing.
