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.)
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.
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.
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.
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.

Yes, even on attempts to purchase albums. I was going to clean out my SFL list, or whatever they call it there.
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...
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.
I am broken again, couldn't get the Have Nots, or anything else this morning.
Try this link for the Have Nots. Slightly different but seems to resolve to the same page:

From what I listened to I'm not sure where they got the 'country' angle to the music.

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.
Good,raw, idiosyncratic deals blues along the lines of early Muddy Waters, Son House or Robert Pete Williams.
