Vincent: That Big Satan disc doesn't appear to be album-priced. I see it listed at 6 credits (for 6 songs totalling 78 minutes). Intriguing cover and AMG review. I'll check it out. Maybe I can sample the full album on Lala.

And, to connect dots in the thread, notice that WMLU's top 50 jazz discs of the decade has Ornette Coleman's Sound Grammer at No. 2. And their No. 1 -- Supersilent's 6 -- was also highly rated by Pitchfork (it didn't make P4K's Top 200 discs…

Liveblogging impressions! The Diego Barber disc is pretty, but feels slight. Like pleasant background music. The folk-jazz leanings of the Jimmy Udden disc -- and this whole notion that it's about the pull of a smalltown home -- is much more comp…

lol. Okay, I'll sample each item on the list seriatim.
-
I'll check out Black Rio 2 today.
Which list are you referring to (I did sample okierambler's list; perhaps you mean the one upthread here)? -
Jonah, I appreciate the thoughtful response. I like jazz, and I'm open to current jazz, but little grabs me or seems innovative or even vital.
Just this morning, someone kindly posted on the eMusic Message Boards a list of albums availa… -
BTW, I wonder whether eMusic has made rollover credits available on all accounts. I just refreshed with one credit left, and I now have 101 credits. This may not be a totally new policy, since I usually use all my monthly downloads.
-
Yeah. For a largely indie-centric site, I think the list is impressively diverse. In any event, there are the genre-specific lists coming, one of which I'm sure will be jazz.
FWIW, I don't pay much attention to modern jazz. But what I… -
Where is that showing (I don't see that ad on the homepage)?
BTW, no chance it's a price increase. No marketing division is that dull-witted. -
Maybe eMusic's editorial staff liked the Ornette Coleman album. A lot of people did (I have the disc, but have rarely played it; my jazz tastes seem to have stagnated at around 1975, and I don't really "get" Ornette Coleman). I mean, I like jazz a…

FWIW, my 4-year old LCD is having problems now. I bought it at Sound Advice (now out-of-business), so I'm not sure I have any warranties on it. Up to now, tho, it's been perfect.
-
Agreed. Jack Johnson -- whatever genre it belongs to -- is awesome and inspiring.

I think the fusion/alternative jazz types are considered the heretics. I love Miles Davis' fusion period. And I've got his Jack Johnson disc; I just think it operates at an interesting -- and inventive -- pivot point between jazz… -
FWIW, I like the F--k Buttons a lot. That first song on their last album hurt my ears (with the computer-processed screaming vocals, even tho they were placed low in the mix and at a low volume), but I find myself listening to it over and over agai…

I always suspected it was the opposite impulse that drove that selection for eMusic. That is, they knew what hipster publications would likely consider the best-albums-of-the-year, and (perhaps unconsiously), eMusic went in… -
lol @ NME.
Also, this -- "They've partially come to their senses?" -- is totally right. If they'd completely come to their senses, it wouldn't be on the list at all. -
A lot of left-field entries on eMusic's list. I'm not complaining, mind you. I'm happy to see some of them, e.g., The Notwist (should have been higher imo); Studio (see The Notwist's paranthetical); Linstrom (see Studio's paranthetical); even Just…

Pass??!!??
Not a Miles Davis fan? -
Miles Davis' A Tribute To Jack Johnson: Jazz or Rock?
-
You grading on too high a curve, but basically I agree.

Craig beat me to it. Without Van Halen's backing, and especially as he's getting older, Sammy Hagar is more-and-more like Jimmy Buffet's evil twin cousin. And Jimmy Buffet is irredeemably bad. -
(Just curious)

When you say "We want to encourage you to talk about the music you like," are you copying text from the Aime Street website, or are you part of Aime Street management?
-
What does "street cred" on Aime Street mean?
-
That Paste list is full of WTF entries.
-
XX, I believe. Still, good that you heard them on the radio. Wouldn't have expected that.
-
I got it from eMusic.
-
Yeah. I'm spending more time with it now. It is very good. The last song is unsettling.
-
Psychocandy is one of my favorite rock discs of all time. BTW, it's because they marry those noisy aesthetics to pop songs. I know a lot less about JAMC's other discs (tho I like what I've heard).
I'd hate to have to rank-order …
