Sources close to the person in possession of the tape tell us ... neither company has actually laid eyes on the footage ... but both sites are serious about acquiring the rights. TMZ has confirmed ... one of the potential buyers is a site called YouPorn -- and YouPorn honcho Corey Price tells us the site has made an official offer to pay $150k for the tape. According to sources, the person in possession of the tape believes the offer is "way too low" -- and is willing to hold out for more money. We're told the seller has been in contact with a second, unidentified porn site, which has vowed to to beat the current offer -- but only if it can screen the footage first.

This album includes some of the most poignant and moving songs of his career, such as the current single, "Threaten Me With Heaven," as well as "Bread and Water" and "If I Die." But the album also features fun, upbeat songs as well, and serves as a wonderful showplace for his guitar playing. Gill wrote every song on the album, which was the first project recorded from start to finish at his new home studio. "I feel like the emphasis has been on the songs and the songs have gotten better," he says. "They really run the gamut of what they are about, how they feel, how they sound. It's not an all-traditional record, it's not an all-contemporary record; it's all over the map, like I kind of have always been. But it doesn't feel out of step with anything I've done previously." more on this story
