  • The amazing Dave Rawlings Machine album is still really cheap at Amie Street. Dave Rawlings and Gillian Welch bring all the magic of their past collaborations, except with DR front and center for this batch of songs.

    (By the way, if you see an album that should be on Amie Street, email the label. If they have other music on Amie Street, they may be open to adding it. It worked for me with DRM and it worked a few months ago with Peter Bradley Adams.)
  • Amie gave me a buck this morning...and it's 30% off today. Thanks, Amie!
  • They claimed in an email that they gave me a buck, but I don't see it!

    Here's a live album that I bought a while back and just got around to listening to:

    Will Hoge, Again Somewhere Tomorrow

    It's really, really good. Hoge is an excellent songwriter with a strong voice and a crack band, and they tour pretty much constantly. That's a recipe for a great live record.
  • anybody else having problems getting free tracks today? it keeps saying "try again."
  • >anybody else having problems getting free tracks today?

    Yes, even on attempts to purchase albums. I was going to clean out my SFL list, or whatever they call it there.
  • I blame ray. All those sony-headed emusic people have created a suddent run on 50% off credit. (and is this more evidence that ray=frogkopf?)
  • Nope - this frog knows the difference between "your" and "you're".

    I'm guessing Ray-Ray has been lurking here, and picked up on the link.

    I am willing bet that stillthesame is none other than our own Ktripper - both named Kenny from Washington, plugging the same albums...

    looks like AmieStreet has finally resolved their issue with purchasing albums (free or otherwise).

    If you need to fill some ska/punk holes in your listening library:
    Have Nots - Serf City USA

    Hmmm... just realized that they apparently changed their link structure... more cryptic now, at least this one.
  • >looks like AmieStreet has finally resolved their issue with purchasing albums (free or otherwise).

    I am broken again, couldn't get the Have Nots, or anything else this morning.

    Yeah... shortly after I posted that yesterday things seemed to only work for a little bit before being broken again. Weirdly enough I've been checking sporadically this morning (trying to get this ) and encountering the same error but right after I read you post, I happened to check again and was able to get it. I then picked up another album I had put in my cart that was giving me problems yesterday.

    Try this link for the Have Nots. Slightly different but seems to resolve to the same page:
    http://amiestreet.com/music/have-nots/serf-city-usa/

    Both times that the problem was fixed I noticed that everything thing on the 'new releases' page temporarily went to a "Free" price listing (but not free if you actually went to any of the albums) and then were eventually listed at the correct price. Once I saw that happen I tried downloading again and was successful.
  • Tiny Animals - Sweet Seetness looks to be album priced at $3.00 (vs. .98/song for 12 songs w/1 free song).
  • Giles Thomas & Patries Wichers - free (in two senses) - improvised loop music for guitar and vocals. Also they have some other stuff here.

    Check out the label too - some other interesting and reasonably priced things.
  • electric eel shock - currently free - brittleblood you need this.
  • I swear that the Japanese are completing with the Swedes to come up with the greatest American garage band.
  • Stricken City - About People I know is good Brit pop. Sort of reminds me of Lush and their ilk.

    According to their site their influences are:

    Velvet Underground, Harmony Korine, Spiral Scratch EP, First Love, Bow Wow Wow, Talking Heads, The Paranoids in the Crying of Lot 49, Richard Hell, Test Match Special,Ari Up, photos of the Beatles in Hamburg, Belle and Sebastian, Colosal Youth LP,Godard movies, Life Without Buildings, White Mice and Groucho Marx
  • I was wondering what something classified by AmieStreet as "Country, Reggae" would sound like so I clicked on the 'play album' button and went about doing other things on the PC. About the 3rd or 4th song sample I though to myself... this all sounds like the same song. Sure enough. 16 songs w/different titles all clocking in at 3:54 and sounding exactly the same.

    From what I listened to I'm not sure where they got the 'country' angle to the music.
  • Both Amie and eMusic once listed a blues great (can't remember which one off hand) as "Jam Band." I found that very confusing.

  • woodsman - a very nice laidback instrumental psych sort of thing.
  • Also Pyramids, which I am absolutely loving, is only $2.30 if you skip the remix disc.
  • Robert Henke, Monolake - Silence
    Excellent "up tempo" ambient with a touch of industrial.

    >Giles Thomas & Patries Wichers - free (in two senses) - improvised loop music for guitar and vocals.

    thanks for this pointer.....got it for real cheap and it is interesting. Strange, but there is something about it I like.
  • An Advance copy of T-Model Ford - The Ladies Man is around $2.

    Good,raw, idiosyncratic deals blues along the lines of early Muddy Waters, Son House or Robert Pete Williams.
  • 50% off sale for the next 48 hours. Glad I was wrong about not seeing anymore of them!
