iTunes Music Store selling at least 9 songs of complete silence for 99 cents apiece. Three of which are labeled "explicit".

Even more impressive considering they don't sell any John Cage.

So what's the sound of one hand clapping? I don't know, but the iTMS is charging .99 a piece for it. hahaha

Amazing. I bought one of these (Guster) when I purchased an album last month. I had to do a double take after I listened a few times, that one of the tracks was actually silent and called "silence".

Is the iTMS encoding the secret hidden track silences as a separate track accidentally?
