  • I got Going Back Home years ago on a whim at Tower Records (deep sigh) and was really wowed by it. Highly recommended.

    Edit - looks like the dirty bastards are having the annual Booster sale - $25 for $20, or $45 for $35, so I won't hav…
  • True Confessions, is it? Here goes - I downloaded 8 tracks from Their Satanic Majesties Request in spite of myself because 7dig didn't have it on sale. I'll add the other tracks from my Through A Glass Darkly CD. Had to complete my string of Ston…

  • More doom and gloom - having had the opportunity to check out a number of the new additions from this week I'm afraid that it appears those who predicted "iTunes lite" were right on the money, in more ways than one. There were about 200+ albums add…
  • Not exactly new but I think this might be the first thing I hit when I refresh tomorrow - link.

  • Maybe None Of The Above was in invisible ink.
  • I don't know if this is the intended deliberate effect, namely so disgusting and irritating your customers so that they just don't bother you any further, but the latest BS reply to an e-mail to CS regarding what I viewed as overpricing, namely $7.6…
  • No, you got that right. I even checked the UK version in which Day 5 was XX. I sent them an e-mail. I'm not holding my breath.
  • Just want to give a heads up that despite eMusic not bothering to notify in any way there has been a significant number of titles from the Warner Brothers group dropped in the last several days, mostly on the 10th and 11th, across many of their labe…
  • Well I can see comparing the listings of In The Jungle Groove with the Star Time box that we have multiple versions/?edits of songs with different run times. Another to hold on to. I just wish 7digital would put the earlier volumes of The Singles …

  • jUj, cheer up! Looks like they'd had the biggest Warner Bros. drop in some time over the last 2 days, without the bozos that be saying a word to promote it. Quite a variety of stuff all across the spectrum, rock, jazz, classical, so there might be…

  • Ah, Bootsy's cool - it's J.B.'s Soul On Top, Pass The Peas:The Best of the J.B.s, and James Brown's Funky People Part 2 I had to put on hold. The VBR on Bootsy's stuff is pretty much regulation for post '60's material.

  • Yeah, just put UMG on hold. I started a List called UMG Holding Cell and made it Public so it should show up on the pages whenever they get all those little things working again. Although I don't see it on any of the album pages - is this more cen…

    Trying to get the go together to put that tree up later - it's going to be the first one for our two current cats, and I'm afrai…
  • "Festering gob" has always been to me a monument to the possibilities inherent in the English language.
  • Yeah, I guess I'll just have to wait for the release in Feb. but it's one of those things where 1 listen and a song is haunting you. Her band is really good too.
  • Today's theme is Hip-Hop on sale.

    What had caught my eye though is that on the $5 and below page is this Sam Cooke album Portrait Of A Legend
  • That's It! Thank you. YouTube - what a concept. Doh!
    Originally by the Shangri-Las, that surprises the hell out of me too.
  • The London Singles was the comp I went with, but I have not had time to digest it at all yet. I figured as a mono set it was at the least a good complement to the albums, and that was a nice price.
  • I am going to spew - 1. How the F does Hyperbole have Neighbors if there haven't been any downloads, and more importantly, 2. How the F did I become one of them? I demand a recount. It's a travesty I tell you. Swindddddlllleeeee.
  • Well that article was certainly depressing. There are advantages to liking music that's often 40-60 or more years old. Thank goodness I've amassed this library of tired ass old timey music to last me through the end of days and the ascendancy of T…
  • The Cosimo Matasso Story a 4 CD set of NO R&B/R&R. Got it last week for $16.87, but I see it's up to $20.67. A whole lot of good time music. So…
  • Today's offering Slash by Slash - $3.99.
  • I've got the podcasts at home so I am unsure but I believe it was from NPR - there was a very nice Neko one.

    Edit- It's NPR:Live Concerts From All Things Considered
    Neko Case -Live from Disney Hall 11/21/07

  • Am I tripping or wasn't there another thread called Hey, Wanderer once upon a time?

    Yes, he shoots, he scores - here 'tis:

  • Just for your entertainment here's some of the latest from The Sage of Ephesus, or was that F He Says-

    I do hope nothing got lost in the translation.
  • "Lady Jane" was one of the tracks as it happens, and I felt the LAME DL had some advantage but it wasn't as pronounced as the snare sound - that was the element I could hear the most appreciable difference on. That was on Blue Turns To Grey and Ou…

    FWIW I put the Pepsi challenge to a few Rolling Stone tracks in Fraunhofer from their 4/08 visit to eMu vs. 7digital DL's - I posted the actual numbers on one of the MB threads, but my perception was that there was not loads of dif…
  • All right, so I missed the "lesser known" above. "Sister Morphine' is my next nomination then.

    "Jigsaw Puzzle" is an excellent call by me.
  • I'll add "Paint It Black" and "Mother's Little Helper". "Playing With Fire".
  • Yep, the Krips was the one - I think it was either free or dirt cheap on Amie at the the time - made a foray into the hard drive, also to retrieve some Xmas music for the season.
