Holy Crap.

edited August 2010 in General
In addition to all the credits eMu is giving away for rating albums, liking on Facebook, and taking the A + R survey, I just got a 15 credit "You Rock" bonus. It appears I'm not the only one.

What is up with all this?

  • Well, we have the Q4 site redesign, plus "efforts to get new subscribers to stick around" (that's what yesterday's e-mail snafu was about, btw).

    Add to that rumors of another major label, and one begins to smell change in the air...
  • rumors of another major label have so far not strayed beyond the confines of some emusers site; whoever they are...
  • It appears that Sucklechimp is having quite the pout: Link.

  • Is Sucklechimp Ray by any chance? Haven't seen Ray around in a while.

    Disclaimer: I am not intentionally or unintentionally cyberstalking anyone by mentioning Ray or Sucklechimp.
  • I don't think so. A) Sucklechimp is in OKC and Ray is in Minnesota; and B) The writing style and language is NOT Raymond.

  • I just got the 15, and I only rejoined a week ago. Sweet!

    Also, Sucklechimp is damaged by Post Modernism, and I'm not sure what Ray's deal is - maybe too much Minnesota nice?
  • Once again, there was no rocking involved for me.

    Personally I thought Sucklechimp was just bored - too much creative effort put into that post.
  • Well, Pilgrim, I don't know but I had to laugh at the depth of Mr. Sucklechimp's vitriolic rant. At this point in the day I need a chuckle. I don't know what he's got his wipes in a twist about, but I too rock. Craig, thank you for posting that picture in the Outlaw Country post, where we were discussing bear, as opposed to bare, ass. It was precisely the one I had in mind.
  • Time for a new Latin/Afro comp! But

    I am going to need more freebies...
  • Apparently I too rock

    But what about the 5 freebies for the tell us what you think

    And the 10 freebies for rating albums with stars

    Is this supposed to cover everything or do I get more crack
  • @doofy I have them all and could not pick one over another. I say roll dice.
  • I got much love as well so I grabbed Esperanza Spalding's latest, Chamber Music Society.
  • doofy, i don't know that first pictured disc, but those other compliations are awesome.
  • I'm leaning Cumbia, but I want to sample the Colombia one. And I never did get Guitar Boy Superstar!
  • I rock too. May get The Kinks Muswel Hillbillies. Just rewatched the Darjeeling Limited which has three Kinks's songs. I don't know why, but I couldn't find an MP3 version of their album Village Green Preservation Society. Must be a money maker still.
  • I've got 3 different emu accounts so I rock x 3. Yow. I might splurge on something that's more than 12 credits. Maybe Calexico - The Black Light. I already have it, but Giant Sand's Is All Over The Map would be good way to spend 15 credits.

    i haven't cruised the back roads of emusic in a while; it looks like they snuck in the rest of the Treat Her Right catalogue.
    I'm going to use my u-rocks to pull what I need from them.

    choiceweb0pen0: Muswell is great; the bonus tracks fit in nicely...

    Hoosfoos:love Giant Sand's All Over The Map
  • I just cleared an old one off my SFL (Celibate Rifles). Sounds pretty good so far. Got the 15 freebies for rocking plus the 5 from Facebook. I think I've got 10 more coming for rating 10 albums. No complaints here.

    Good news on the Treat Her Right calalogue. Tied To the Tracks is one of my all-time faves. I have the others on CD but I may have to check out The Lost Album.
  • selfrisinmojo: I did get the Muswell, really different from what little I've heard, but digging it so far.

    I don't get the whining about free credits or tracks, it's what makes the price hikes more bearable, especially since I've been on the 24 DL plan.
  • Here's a 12 credit album y'all need

    (of course in Minnesota, we say you guys, not y'all....)
  • I was gonna link to that one in yer other thread. For those of you skeptical of d/ling because you want the liner notes, remember that Smithsonian Folkways provides them for free on their website.
  • I'm oddly intrigued by that album froggie. The fact that it has a scientist narrator is really cool.

    Craig
  • Somewhere I have a project halfway done that consists of the a mash-up of this album and one of the farting albums.

    I dare anyone to listen to it more than 30 seconds without bursting out laughing. I saved it somewhere when I was forced to reimage my computer years ago, but can't find it now. Eventually I'll find it and finish the project.
  • sure you will. right after you catch up on all your back listening.
  • And I never did get Guitar Boy Superstar

    ________________________

    not on emusic, AFAIK. i'll bet it's great, tho. i'd take the palenque disc over the cumbia disc, but maybe that's because -- of cumbia discs -- i heavily favor this one

    This Guitar Boy Superstar?

    I'm so overwhelmed with all the great African compilations. I'd like to get something in that vein but how to choose? Then I stumbled across this. And this. And this. And it goes on and on!
  • That Sir Victor Uwaifo album is hotter than hot. So. Damn. Good.
  • amclark, the answer to your question is "Nigeria Special." Pick one, you can't lose. I think I have wound up with all of these...
  • It appears that Sucklechimp is having quite the pout: Link.

    Aside from jazz recs, sucklechimp is the only reason I keep returning to the emu forum.
  • frogkopf: Since you originally mentioned the frog/fart mashup back when the frog album first showed up, I haven't been able to listen to the frog album without cracking up. I hope you find the file.
