    I saw Teegan and Sarah open for some show once and they were terrible on several different levels. I'm surprised 22 are gone... Probably all for the band and their family members.

    "On several different levels"...lol

    I feel bad for the Teegan and Tara group. I've never heard of them, but at this point, only 22 people bought a Pono with their signatures on it.

    I still see room for Bruce and Nine Inch Nails as an artist series. I would say U2, but they did the iPod ad not too long ago.

    No love for T&S? I just started getting into them. They harmonize nicely together.

    As for a PONO? Their fan base isn't that big. Broke hipsters is their marketing...
  • Does anyone know if the signed editions are laser engraved signatures or will they actually be signed by the artists?

    "They will have laser-engraved artist signatures, including all band members in the case of groups."

    Just do it! I want to have more people to bullshit about this thing with :) (and it will make me feel less crazy for dropping $400 on kickstarter...)

    Dear Pearl Jam:

    Binaural would sound amazing on this. So would Yield, Riot Act, No Code, and Vitalogy. (Just saying)

    For those that are interested, here's a little info on Tegan and Sara and their connection to Neil:
    They are twin sisters from Canada and were signed to Neil's Vapor Records label in 2000.
    They played Neil and Pegi's Bridge School Benefit concerts in 2000 and 2004.
    In 2004 they released an album called 'So Jealous' with the very catchy tune 'Walking With A Ghost'.Here's a link to that song - I bet you remember it. The White Stripes even covered it!

    i know i'm gonna creamed for this, but I just don't buy this. Neil Young and his Pono crew are making it sound like music is no longer enjoyable thanks to the mp3. if this was true, i would have stopped listening to music 15 years ago. this seems like nothing more than an artist's vanity project. My guess is that most people will regret dropping $300-400 for a music player they will find redundant and clunky
