    I've heard it's Rafael Saadiq's best work. That's good enough for me to take the chance without hearing it first.

    Has anyone ever tried any of the Brilliant Classics ginormoboxsets? It's a big commitment, even though it breaks down to $1something or less in some cases per CD.

    Anyone have this and able to give me some thoughts?

    BigD,
    You mean like these "Brilliant Classics" (price has jumped considerably since I posted that)? Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Classical isn't really my 'bag' so I'm not qualified to comment on the aural aspects of my purchases. So far, I've only opened the Beethoven box and only listened to the first 3-4 discs so far (Symphonies 1-4 or so).

    ETA: FYI, your link to Amazon take me to a generic Amazon album search/listing (Showing 1 - 12 of 3,950,158 Results).
  • @Craig - That was one of my top picks for 2008. One of my first great freebies on Amie. Just popped it back on when I saw it was the the daily deal - so damn catchy.
  • thom - Thanks for the reply. Our tastes are usually pretty close so I grabbed it. So far so good!

    Luddite, yes, those. Fixed the link - that was odd. Basically it's the big Mo that makes me itchy.

  • Today it's Lykke Li's Wounded Rhymes for $3.99.
  • Lykke Li is highly recommended.

    Craig
  • I'll second or third that recommendation. My fave song is "I'm Good, I'm Gone". I don't have Wounded Rhymes, though.
  • New one from They Might Be Giants for $3.99 here. Sounds pretty good so far.
  • Not MP3 but the Deal of the Day Lightning Deal at 9PM Eastern Time today is a 16 CD Gustav Mahler set.
  • Not deal of the day, but Bon Iver is $3.99. That'll teach Adam Klein to compare his Bon Iver numbers to Amazon's Lady Gaga numbers. Not to mention that Amazon has Times New Viking to boot.
  • Thank you sir! I was waiting for it to hit that price. I bet it's tomorrow's deal of the day.

    Craig
  • Today it's the Radio Dept.'s Clinging to a Scheme for $3.99. Listening to it on Spotifiy right now to preview it.
  • New Joss Stone release LP1 today, $3.99.
  • Kleenex/Liliput - 45 song/2 disc collection is a good deal at $5.
  • New Fountains of Wayne, released today, for $3.99
  • You know you're old when you wish the clean version was on sale 'cuz the kids would really like it. Oh well, at least I reached that conclusion only after buying the dirty version; at least I'm not yet reduced to immediately reaching for clean first.
  • Woohoo! I'm apparently not old!

    Fela Kuti - Zombie...for free.
  • Thank you sir! That is one I did not yet have.

  • George Thorogood Chess tribute album - 2120 South Michigan Ave - $3.99 dotd - might be interesting, I'll have to get back to it later.
  • @BigD: So, how is it?
  • edited August 2011
    Damn, almost forgot to get back - rough day. Based on the samples I wasn't deterred but also if it wasn't $3.99 I'm not sure I'd go for it but I like George so hopefully tomorrow when I have time/strength to listen I won't be sorry. How's that for a namby-pamby answer?
    Edit - Whole way through and I'm liking it and consider it money well spent. Not masterpieces, and not for purists, but I'm enjoying it. Probably still $3.99 for a while today.
  • Thanks for getting back. I'm passing on this one. It sounds strong, but in the past I haven't been that into Thorogood. I sense some buyer's remorse in the future.

    Guy Clark - Songs and Stories. A live album, 23 cuts although there are a few intros and stories, 68 minutes total. If you do not know Guy Clark, he is a Texas based singer - songwriter, far less morose that Townes Van Zandt, less big-bandy than Lyle Lovett, (probably) less stoned than Willie. Some of his best are on this album.
  • Amazon's free song of the day is a new one by Moby

    I'm a fan of their last album, and the title track to this one is fantastic. So I'm sold.
