Oh and I see now Reich was missing two tracks and the Duke one. SWINDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL!!!!!
Seriously though, yes, I got lucky. Very lucky. But the people at the other place insisting eMusic should give them tracks they had… -
RE: re-tagging. Windows, you need a program called Tag Scanner. It's Free. Mac, get Media Rage. It costs. Both will pull info from FreeDB and put the artist names on your tracks, though you may need to do some wrangling to get everything straight.

They're a mistake. Remember when Rhapsody opened their mp3 store and we were finding many of these same titles for $10 or less. After a few days, they were all corrected.
That said, I'd just canceled my free...no, please don't go...month… -
SWINDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL

It is? I'm still seeing $2 everywhere.
-
OMG, they are killin' me here. (And I am a wee bit tweaked at seeing 80% of the purchases I've made from them drop to $2.)
-
FWIW, I've been waiting for my band's stuff to drop there for about 6 weeks. WTF?

Here's an instance where as an American I get to whine about something not being available in my country. When I was on vacation in London, I tried Spotify at the hotel and loved it. Now, I wish the US companies would get in gear and give it to us h…

The $4 releases seem to almost all be Universal labels, at least in Europe where 7Digital is based, I think.

The Leslie West Band- The Great Fatsby
LOL! -
Sidenote: not everything is 320kbps, but they do at least tell you what you're getting.
-
There are lots more $4 albums, if you nose around. And the Duke Box is a STEAL at $7.77. I bought it with booster crack back when. Heh.
-
John Coltrane - The Olatunji Concert scared the shit out of me. I've only been able to listen to it once.
-
Grace Under Pressure? Umm...didn't see that one coming.
-
This discussion made me put on some Shepp I acquired from who knows where. On Green Dolphin Street from '78. Good stuff, if you can find it. Much more straight ahead, but never boring.

I got nuthin.

A friend of mine used to work for Temporary Residence and translated the liner notes for their first US release. She said there was nothing quite like trying to interpret Dadist German writing for an English audience.

RE Archie Shepp post 60s: yeah, I think a lot of people would dig his stuff on into the 80s who hated the 60s stuff. The 80s especially, he became quite a traditionalist. Check the duo album with Horace Parlan, for one, though the fidelity is lackin…

WHERE'S MY BUCK? SWINDLEEEEE!!!

I know I've seen Al Jorgenstein wear a cowboy hat many times so Ministry = country.
As to jazz tokeinism, at least they didn't try to put the newest reissue of Kind of Blue on the list.
RE: Matthew Shipp, I was won over after… -
Ton of KPM music library albums dropped. I think most people would be better off with comps like Bite Hard (which I think is at eMu) to skim the cream, but there are some of these, like Afro-Rock, worth hearing in their entirety.
(Edit: … -
@Bad Thoughts, absolutely correct. I wish I could remember which book it was that was talking about Beat Happening specifically. There was a really funny antidote about Calvin Johnso…
-
yes.
-
Interesting that the price is still so low. I remember getting this from Rhapsody for half that and Amazon had it at $18 then.
-
Sorry if I sounded like I was pissing on anyone's musical tastes. I realized after I wrote that, it may have sounded that was.
-
RE: Taylor Swift. I recently had the chance to work with the main engineer who does sound for Saturday Night Live. (I'm a recording engineer.) He happened to mention two female singers that stood out in his mind as musical guests, one good one bad. …
-
@Bad Thoughts, I agree with you 75%. (Never cared for Sleater-Kinney, heh.) Everytime someone forwards me one of her writings, it's either a duh so obvious piece or a who made you th…

RE: The Gaslight Anthem. I'm convinced that every year the critics must have one "edgy" band to fawn over to make it seem like they're in touch with what's happening. Last few years, it was the Arcade Fire and Vampire Weekend, neither of whom I care…

Sounds like shit.

@cowrun, yes.
