emusers' standard lecture on good free stuff

Lowlife

Thanks BT, there are a couple of albums that I would like to get from the Danger Mouse site.

Germanprof

@BN, nope, I just get "Oops! Google Chrome could not find deepelmdigital.com" (and the equivalent in IE). Opening the Google cached copy works.

Bad Thoughts

Can you get access through Deep Elm's artists' page?

Germanprof

Nope. But again if I click on the "access a cached copy" message I get the functioning page.

No telephone line means no downloads, frustrating to miss some of these!

The next free Flamin Pines release, today and tomorrow.

Kate Carr - Return to New Caledonia

So I logged into Bandcamp this evening and noticed that all my Danger Mouse purchases from the other day are no longer included in my 'collection'. The original link poster in this thread now goes to a page that simply says "No tracks here... logon to add some". Can I assume my experience with the vanished Danger Mouse albums isn't unique? Wonder if I just paid someone who isn't related to Danger Mouse for some illegally uploaded music.

Wow, that's great. Cool. Well, that's a lot of music, so if people want recs, I'll start with Def Trance Beat, which kicks ass.

I enjoyed reading Steve Coleman's thoughtfulness about giving away music, rare in our capitalistic society and all, but he doesn't believe in giving away audio quality. Those dls are all 128's.

Ouch!

For fear of unwittingly condoning more piracy, I am going to be a little evasive on this one. A rock-hip-hop hybrid, named after a primate, has its albums NYOP at Bandcamp.

BT - That's concerning. I sent an e-mail to Bandcamp asking for an explanation for the Danger Mouse stuff and now this one.

I'll be very disappointed if someone is uploading copyrighted material to make a few bucks before it gets taken down.

Craig

Bad Thoughts

Thanks, craig, that's probably the right thing to do.

cafreema

No problem. Hopefully it's all legit, but I'm not holding my breath.

I did download a couple things (for free) from the new act, though, just in case it is legit. If it isn't I'll delete the files.

What, the Monkeez have their albums on Bandcamp!? They're more pop than hip-hop, though...

Name your price from Flaming Pines for I don't know how long:

Oh boy, I've been hoping for that Marcus Fischer one all along!

Blamstrain is having a NYOP week. Excellent background music, early morning music.

So unlike Dangermouse, the primate themed group is still up... Now charging $7 each.

I also never heard anything back from Bandcamp.

Glad I downloaded them when they were free and just didn't unzip them pending figuring out if it was legit.

From an email from Oliver Barrett aka. Petrels:

"I've just made the first Petrels album - Haeligwielle - free to download until the end of March over on the Petrels bandcamp site. Centered around the work that Victorian diver, William Walker, did in single-handedly re-strengthening the foundations of Winchester Cathedral in order to stop it from sinking into the ground, the album was initially released as a short run on Tartaruga Records in 2011 before being re-issued by Denovali in 2012. If you haven't heard it yet, now's your chance."

My two cents: Get it, just get it !

Can't remember if this has been mentioned before . . .
