How Did You Spend Your New Music Tuesday?
Poor Amie's dead and gone,
Guvera's shriveled up to a trickle,
Did anybody have any fun yesterday?
I bought UFO's Strangers In The Night (went a dollar cheaper than last week for some reason), and two Robin Trower John Peel sessions EPs from Amazon (EMI is making some money from me via that giveaway). eMu's so screwy on new releases lately I don't bother checking right away, and after all unless somebody screwed up the price ain't changing. There's a new Joe Satriani CD but it's Sony so where is it going to show up at any discount - the CD is the same price as the DL at Amazon this week, so I guess I'll go that way. The hunting is sparse. Oh, the new Raul Malo release is $5 at 7digital - might get that. I am having fun listening to those Guvera goodies though.

Actually, I learned to play a few new songs in my personal studies of music of the Piedmont: Rattlesnakin' Daddy, Red River Blues and Deep River Blues. I also downloaded a Samuel James concernt from Archive.org and streamed Le Noise for the third time (sorry, I don't get the hype). Finally, relaxed and was bored by the mid-season premiere (stop it, SYFY) of Caprica.

Oh, and DL'd Milt Jackson's Sunflower. Good deal at Amazon with track pricing, and I used my Amie credit. So I did get some free music, hooray!
I do need to pick out a few things on eMu and then decide if it's quittin' time or one more month.

I'd hang in there at eMu a little longer just in case.
I'm just hoping if they're going to drop a big one, it will be not too far into the month of November - I'm hoarding 2 booster packs that expire late Nov.
Edit - What is a frightening thought however is that with the current search capabilities so totally f**ked over there if there is a new label/group drop and there are any mispriced bargains/boxsets etc. we'll never be able to find them in time.
But the find of Tim Collins and his two albums, plus Brian Prinka, Michel Benita, Bill Frisell's Beautiful Dreamers, and happening upon James Clay's album which I hadn't heard in ages, I'm finally ahead of the game. I've got 2 DLs left and I already have plans how to spend them in the absence of some future pressing need. Also, a new release is lined up for next month's DLs, an album which I've been craving for months and was available nowhere, just popped up on emu (I'm still not sure if it's an old album re-released or if was never previously available). And that album led me to another that sounds promising.
But about the emusic habit, if they raise the monthly price anymore, the music selection better be so good I can mainline it, or that's one habit I'll break right quick. There's plenty of Blue Note and Impulse that I wouldn't mind getting, but I already have so much of both it's unlikely to sway me from seeing past the hobbling monthly cost. Money, as they say, is tight.
Tuesdays aren't the same anymore without you, and the urgency of the hunt is gone.
