  • He didn't go to 11?

    First they have to know it's there to tax it. Second they have to be able to find them.

    Scenario 1: "Files? What files?"

    Scenario 2: "They had all been erased."

    Scenario 3: "I was afraid it was…
  • Wow, you mean like some kind of aural Farenheit 451, where persecuted music lovers keep contraband iPods under the floorboards, while the masses march about listening to Muzak Soma?
  • I've tried to swear off collecting TV series, those VHS tapes of every Sopranos episode just sit there (although you never know). Having the DVR box and cable makes it easier to catch all the episodes. My only exception is that I've recorede every…
  • A few Elvis Costello albums on sale today - not much excitement since Day 1 - went back and got 2 more early-middle Stones yesterday. In spite of some overlap, at $3 it's OK. Never realized how messy their early discography was between the US/UK r…
  • Interesting question. I'm still puzzling over who to leave my book library to, beyond the Public Library, because I have a fair amount of history I went to some trouble to collect, and being a book fiend (had to chill just for space considerations, …

    In a related sort of way I've been wrestling with the issue of do I continue to : expand my Lists, do reviews/warnings, post recs, etc. when I'm so disgruntled as a customer? Does not participating in those ways punish the company…

    Still $4 at 7digital and not too much overlap with the Star Time box.
  • Hey BT, I checked my 7dig playlist and it looks like the big sale didn't start until Dec. 9th last year. At least that's the date I started downloading a whole lot from there.
  • Well here is something I am truly flipping bloody flabbergasted by - on the front page the eVil eMpire hawked the return of the Rolling Stones (little late considering the 7dig $3 sale) back apparently unchanged from their 3 day stint in April of 20…
  • Mac OSX 10.4.11 and it still didn't work. Rats.51t4%2BOHjsNL._SL500_AA300_.jpg

    Edit - At Last. Thanks all. Love this record.
  • Well lookee here - I don't know, this might be a crap reissue but 7digital has this for $8.99 - in Cathy, Cathy, Cathy Comment by BigD-Bluez December 2010
  • Snippy, very snippy. For all my vetching I had to get a booster last night to top off Rockin' The Paradiso by Robert Gordon and Chris Spedding - got the remaining 23 tracks for about $3.50 I think. Of course the weirdness continues - although I so…
  • Arrgh, I posted to thank you guys before but I must not have hit the right button - Doh! Have to try at home on the desktop later - my antediluvian Mac laptop here can't do right-click. I hear Aretha on my cerebral hard drive all of a sudden.
  • It may not be a better mousetrap, but it is still a cheaper mousetrap in many cases, and I never could resist a big hunk of cheese. Squeak, squeak!
  • Currently really digging the Treasure Isle Story, a double CD I picked up at Amazon for $13.05 last weekend. It's my first real foray into earlier than reggae Jamaican music, which at this price seemed a good alternative to a Treasure Isle c…
  • Keep hope alive - the Big Sale didn't happen right away last year, and it's only the 3rd. I'm still thinking about that Dino album though.......that's a good version of Baby, It's Cold Outside but I already have it.
  • Wow, stay off the computer in the AM and do the things you're supposed to be doing, and in a timely fashion, and you can miss all kinds of drama.
    I too have sympathy for Cathy personally but that does not extend to her function wherein she is …
  • Craig, Craig, you're killing me here...I actually have 8 of those albums. They had to pick the one R.E.M. album I have? It was a special over at Amazon. They're going to take back my (G)old Fart card.
  • I have most if not all of the Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings releases and like them a lot - not flash, just very nice bluesy roots-rock material with that British sensibility.
  • One week later I finally got a response from Customer Service:

    Wow, that's so much clearer than what Cathy posted on the MB on Monday - hey, wait a minute it is what Cathy posted. Stayed up all night writing that one the…
  • BT, I'm not sure the JSP box sets are cheaper now than usual - I got a couple of the Django sets earlier in the year and as I recall they were around $17 the same as the one I saw on Amazon a couple of days ago. I don't think the liner notes are gr…
  • For us it's the Nat King Cole Christmas Album beyond all others.
  • mommio, I second amclark on Exiles - it's for me the last entire album I have any use for. The Stones momentary tenure on eMu during which you wisely downloaded was my first eMu WTF moment, though not last, because by the time I got back to them th…
  • Didn't know, was fervently hoping. So, it's on.......today Rolling Stones catalog sale, $3 single albums. $6.99 several Singles collections, Exiles or Ya-Ya's Deluxe.

    I paid $4 for Beggars Banquet last night....swinnndddlllleeeee. O…
  • Far out! That must be what had my right eye twitching. I thought it was just cyber-fatigue.
  • Well, it being that time of year when hopeful children lay dreaming of $2 Album Xmas Sales....keep watching the skies....oops, wrong movie....I am watching 7digital and it seems there are a few more sale titles than I remember from the weekend - alr…

    It is real interesting...and you get werewolves.
  • I am wrong in thinking that eMusic's defense for low bit-rates in the past was basically that the labels not eMusic were responsible for how the material was delivered to them? Did Cathy just let the cat out of the bag whilst trying to deflect this…
  • Well, here's the latest from the Ministry of Truth - it raises as many questions as it answers:
