Video Tuesday — Still riding the 49:00 high edition
By Jodi | Filed under Seen Your Video | Comments (5)
Yeah, yeah, I know I’ve linked to this one before, but in honor of 49:00 released yesterday, I thought it deserved a revisit.
And here’s some news from around the ‘net:
- • The Guardian UK on how 49:00 is less than the cost of a song on iTunes.
- • The LA Times on why this was a smart financial move
- • Billboard gets the scoop on the album from manager, Darren Hill.
- • The snarkers at Fark weigh in on the album and how utterly sad it is that Paul’s “official web site” is an AOL homepage (this has always broken my heart)
- • My favorite, Dude Weather, gives 49:00 a little shout out at the end of the his forecast
- • We (and by we, I mean me) aren’t the only ones crapping our pants the Our Man Paul is #1 on Amazon

July 22nd, 2008 at 1:16 pmThe irony of Our Man Paul being #1 for an Internet Album is nearly more than I can bear. It makes me wonder how many one must sell to be #1.

July 22nd, 2008 at 3:06 pmNot only is 49:00 #1, but Paul is also on the “Movers & Shakers” list as his combined Amazon digital downloads figures are up 125,850%!!! Which apparently means nobody was downloading anything by Paul from Amazon before yesterday.

July 23rd, 2008 at 6:55 amHas anyone figured out how long it would be if you separated out the “double tracks”. I bet it would come out a lot closer to 49:00
