Well it has taken over a week but I have cleaned over a thousand albums from my various Save For Laters - of course they made it easier for me because 80% or more of them are Not Available. Not going to worry about if they are coming back, not goin…

Well folks, I am on a downloading rampage. The advent of My Music did allow 2 things - it allowed me to shop at work without having to DL at the moment (since home is where I want it), and also hop onboard monster big sets right away without having…

Wow, I just killed some time cleaning out dozens, I say dozens, of selections from my Save For Laters that are Not Available, from numerous labels, different genres. I am doing this because I feel this site is sliding under and I don't want to get …

Honestly, I have to wonder why I am working my way through this book because it is very disturbing. I did enjoy(?) The Hot Zone back in the day. Timely, current, yeah. Scary as

@Doofy - I agree with your reservations totally in general practice. Being as how I am too often juggling stuff between the desktop already crammed with music and the hard drive I…

Say, you don't suppose this whole My Music cloud thing is a trick to get us to buy 16 hour collections that we would never buy if we had to download them right away, do you? Just sayin'.

Shall we say re-discovered? Stumbled across the Dancing Cat/George Winston label - so in this era of paucity you will find a treasure rove of Hawaiian Slack Key artists there, and George Winston. Anyhow, there are some great albums there includin…

Well, what about the 3 or 4 new albums I've seen this week on the US site priced at $8.99, and they weren't anything special like double length or anything? I don't remember what they were because I just moved right along, muttering "Yeah, fat cha…

Well, I find that Joe Bonamassa's label J&R Adventures is back after disappearing for two weeks. Is there hope others will return as well?

Just a heads up on this album - https://www.emusic.com/album/2255917/M…

Thank you, Bremble, for that Leiber and Stoller tip - I figure the same but what the heck.
Any fans of Bert Jansch should check out some box sets that are Living In The Shadows - wink, wink.

Just a comment on the ongoing nonsense that passes for a website known as eMu - couple of days ago I purchased a Jim Campilongo album from last year I was surprised to find I hadn't purchased yet - according to the eMu page. Surprise, all right, I …
-
Truthfully, a lot of what I'm downloading from eMu lately I wouldn't buy unless it was half-price. I find a few releases a month that I would consider for full price but not many. If it weren't for things I become aware of from the record review s…

Hey, folks, haven't had time but to sample this one yet but for any fans of acoustic guitar music it's over three hours of live performance and there are serious players in here - in Bargains on the new eMusic Comment by BigD-Bluez January 2018

I hesitate to opine, being as how I'm still using Snow Leopard - mostly because they still are at my job - but I had a Permission problem once some time ago. In the box that comes up when you ask Finder to Get Info on any folder or application ther…

I don't know if we've had this one on before, but seasonally speaking I guess it bears mentioning - literally 12 hours of Christmas, one album.

Not really a genre I follow much but I recognize some names and it is 3+ hours of grindcore for $6.99 - https://www.emusic.com/album/4199745/Vario…

There is an awful lot to plow through on that Fresh Sound Records label but in some rare leisure time I was able to find tracks that I did not have on some of their releases, namely Art Farmer and Gigi Gryce, and Gene Ammons. Will take some …

"No. I am Nobody."
(To paraphrase a different theme. Heck, I can't barely ever remember to log in and listen to new stuff available on Amazon Prime, some of which are people I'm interested in, which may explain why I'm buying so few.)Just found an interesting example of what can go wrong there - album 50 Tunes Of Horn Jazz From Venus Records. I bought it in February, but as I scrolled through My Music I see only 24 tracks there. Look the album up in the Store and it's F…Today I had the opportunity to do some searching through eMu and what they say I have purchased of what they have currently, and found what I thought were discrepancies to my recollection to be very real when compared to my external hard drive to wh…Wow, thank you, Muggsy, that is a demented bargain there.
Also from the Revolver Records label, same as the Sinatra, is this $3.99 99 track collection of Tamla Motown singles - interesting in that it is mostly the lesser knowns, which I would l…I might actually listen to it, or some of it, some day but I can not resist 99 tracks of Old Blue Eyes for $3.99. Figure out what the nine albums are later.I was just browsing about two days ago when I found the re-tooled genres and I had the same feeling - did somebody do this who doesn't know jack? It just seems to get harder and harder to find stuff you like over there. At least when you search no…@Germanprof - I am considering. Need some weekend time to decide whether to pull the trigger. I mean, I would never have guessed before the fact that I would love Peruvian p…@Germanprof - I just have to ask, intrigued as I am, what happens to you after 5 hours of Turkish psychedelia?
Somebody. Stop. Me. What can I say? I'm inordinately fond of the big lug.
in Emusic Beta Comment by BigD-Bluez July 2017GOT Season 7 premiere - No Spoilers. Was a little catchy-uppy for me, which I suppose is necessary to an extent, although it had moments. My favorite was the opener - give yourself bonus points for paying attention if you figured it out before a c…
