Today I received this e-mail:
"Beginning Monday, February 28th, Spotify Premium users in the UK, Spain, Sweden, Netherlands, Norway, and Finland can listen to all twelve tracks of COLLAPSE INTO NOW as part of Spotify's exclusive listening party. In addition, Spotify will also be giving away prizes including a Fender guitar signed by the band."
I´m so excited. In less than 2 days I will hear the whole new album. I have been spinning the 5-song sampler in Spotify so much that I can´t wait now. I will get the CD as soon as it comes out but I´m very happy with this too.

And still nothing... I think content is handled out of their UK office and not from here in Stockholm, otherwise I would run down there and force them!
Ethan alluded to them having posted "bad info" though. I think he referred to the "world exclusive" part (which has been removed) and not the fact that they would put it up today (which is still there), but I'm not sure.
Edit: their twitter stated this yesterday, so I guess it will indeed happen:
"R.E.M. fans - the band is set to unveil its latest album, Collapse Into Now, on Spotify tomorrow!"

It's like midday in the UK right now, correct? You'd think it would be up by now.
