you won't be disappointed. dark, gritty, late-night, menacing rockabily. -
new james blake is in, too.
not really for my ears, but that aber das leben lebt is interesting. do i hear the they-might-be-giants singer on one song? -
excellent choice on the dirty beaches, elwood. the full-length, coming in late march, is dynamite.

nereffid, thom: yeah, i don't disagree with that criticism of wanderer. i'm only addressing the message, not the messanger.
-
well, i guess i'll be pilloried for saying this, but i mostly agree with what "wanderer" has been saying on the boards recently (at least what i've read). i didn't like his attitude before, and i guess i still don't, but nevertheless . . .

yeah, i think that's right (tho i realize you're not talking about me). i've noticed that the tone there has calmed down a bit very recently. i've begun -- tenatively -- posting there again. -
beth i hear you callin', 
but i can't come home,… -

lol i like some kiss songs. -
makes sense. i shouldn't have assumed how easy or hard a job it is.

1880s, that is.

agreed. better now than when i was growing up, which i thought -- at the time -- was a golden age (mid-80s). -

yeah, and you're right, it is a nice companion piece. it's an odd thing with TNP these days. the melodies are as strong as they used to be, the arrangements are still inventive, the drumming is still airtight, and the energy is b… -
my first reaction when i heard about the moderators was, "oh, this isn't going to end well."

i don't disagree. it's just that, after a one-day sample, i felt that the latter type of question was overwhelming the former type of question. and some of the former-type questions seemed like trojan horses so that, when an answ… -
i still love, love, love twin cinema.

what's yr twitter account? i'll follow you, too!
i disagree with yr post upthread, but i'll have to circle-back to explain why. -
i'm sorry? the only user/screen name i've ever used is this one, regardless of which board i post to.
not sure if i'm squarely addressing your question, tho. -
haha, there's another disc i couldn't really get into.

i think emusic should keep working on upgrading the sound quality of that previously-delivered content. it seems to me that if there isn't a contractual problem or a horrendous hard-cost associated with upgrading the encoding, the logistics problem…
-
it isn't jackassery on your part; there's nothing wrong with raising legitimate issues. it's the "Let's see if you respond to this!," "I demand answers now!," "Time is up," the name-calling, and so forth, that upset me.
-
i could never get into the raconteurs at all. and i liked some of the lead singer's solo albums (and jack white is good, too).

okay, but a number of posters were also jackasses. i haven't really done a survey of it, but i remember feeling at the time -- maybe as soon as the end of the first day of moderation -- that this was a totally fruitless exercise f… -
this is jawdroppingly amazing.
obv., it isn't for everyone. but if you like dubstep-y thumbing base; swi… -
i think that's completely understandable, given the behavior of some of the participants.
-
you mean like a code-of-conduct, BT?
wasn't it a deplorable comment or two that led you to ask for moderators in the first place? -
yeah, no doubt. i've got 115 items in my saved-for-later list. the thing is, if i leave emusic, it's going to be much harder to track down that stuff, since i think some of those labels aren't available elsewhere (plus, i wouldn't have a built-in …
-
to be clear, no-body will care if i do or don't return there. i realize that. i'm just venting.
i am happy that traffic has picked up so considerably here. it's a good alternative. -
i doubt they're being malicious or incompetent. i just think the digital music world -- the entire music industry, really -- is frustrated, confused, resisting change, the equivalent of horse-and-buggy companies of the late 19th century, trying to …
-
if the complaints were being voiced mostly by people like you, i'd agree. but that's not what's been happening over there these days. "time is up!," "they need to be taught a lesson!," "see? chatty (cathy nevins) won't show her face around here any…

i don't see it, but maybe i'm not paying enough attention to the reasonably-worded complaints. the only one i know about is the sound-quality issue. and i hear you on that one, tho it isn't as important to me. it's hard to know …
