The last of the weekend's used purchases - I admit that I bought this not knowing anything about the artist, but just on the strength that it is on the Concord label. From the couple of tracks I have played so far, fairly gentle vocal jazz - the kind of thing you might play late at night
Another Amie freebie or near-freebie. Needed this to gird me for bootcamp fitness class, where the instructor is 20 years younger than I and appropriately merciless.
Now that I am suitably punished I'm chilling to Celer
@Daniel, yes indeed. I have feeling you might have led me to it. Could it have been you who posted about their single (Parallels?) on the emusic board? Was about to finally download that when I saw this.
After a succesful trawl through a couple of charity shops on Saturday for CDs I called in on another yesterday afternoon. This and the next up both cost £1 each - a bargain!
WOW - we had some classic Bowie uploaded to emusic yesterday!! They have probably been available in the States for eons, but for us with no majors this is something special. Definitely Bowie for the next three hours... I've still got this on LP, but never quite got round to buying the CD. Certainly a classic
From the mis-priced set thread. 7.4 hours (and 666 MB!) worth of classical featuring the cello. The sound quality is good, much better than the Amazon "99 best" sets. Tagging is annoying since a number of tracks are missing composers (on eMu and the EMI site). I swapped the artist and composer, and tracked down composers for the missing tracks. IMHO, worth $8.99.
@Germanprof: yeah, likely was me. i love that album, tho i consider it more of a fall/winter disc. summer's my time to dust-off pop, lighter/happier guitar rock, roots reggae, psych rock, the poppy-end of new wave, and 70s african music.
You know, I've never been big on reggae, but the combined heat index of 105 degrees here the other day may have contributed to my checking out - and quite enjoying - your rec of the Heart of the Congos album you were praising over on emu.

I learned about this and several other recent releases on the very engaging http://jazzandblues.blogspot.com/
French synth pop. Quite good.

2 hour podcast, mix of stuff. Reason for listening: contains an excerpt from Nicolas Bernier, usure.paysage.

Finally grabbed this off mtraks. Not sure what took me so long as it is right up my alley.

Today's free song at Amazon. The whole album is only $6, and sadly I am tempted.
How do I not listen to this album every day?

FWIW, Here is a $3.99 collection of Bach's Cello Suites, 36 tracks in all.
