    I'm noticing Amie Street becoming increasingly irrelevant in my purchasing. Maybe it is all the botched Tuesdays or the popularity of the site where album prices will sail into the heights of iTunes or maybe it is just the painful and clunky site navigation. I miss that time when I was excited about them
    It's also been almost a year since the last big drop (notwithstanding Metropolis, which started at 15 cents/track). It also seems that many fewer albums are being added every week.
