The Bravery Is Running Scared On MySpace

A post on the Velvet Rope tipped us off to the fact that Village Voice faves The Bravery had a new song, “Time Won’t Let Me Go,” up on their MySpace page, and in the interest of “journalism,” we went over to give the song a listen. At around the two-minute mark, when we came to the realization that Sam Endicott is now going the constipated-Robert-Smith route as far as his vocal delivery, the song started to fade out–and it was at the 2:14 mark, when playback stopped, that we noticed the “Full song available at iTunes” note on the MySpace player. Seriously, who does that? Is the band really so terrified of people streaming the whole song, and realizing that it’s terrible, that they’re forcing people to shell out 99 cents to hear it all? Or did they just run out of ideas midway through writing the song and decide to fade it out early to seem sort of edgy? (The weird thing is, both of these scenarios seem entirely plausible.)
