Not worth it.

I was exposed to music lessons as a kid but it never took -- piano lessons for probably 6-9 months came shortly after guitar lessons for maybe three months. I was never interested or diligent enough to practice consistently, but when I was older I …

I assume Doofy's referring to this, which eMu doesn't have. There's a thread…

Here's a live album that I bought a while back and just got around to listening to:
Will Hoge, Again Somewhere Tomorrow

Exactly. Plus, Johnny Cash wore black, and Trent Reznor wears black, so it's pretty obvious. -

Seems clear enough to me. So what's "indie?" -

That's possible, sure, but I'm at least 25 years past that certain age. Nonetheless, I've found plenty of great rock records in the past ten years that I can pull off the shelf and actively enjoy, whether I last played it two week… -
Nicely put, jonahpwll. I enjoy a good rant now and then, especially when it's well-written. I don't know much about jazz, nor do I pretend to, but some of the albums that show up regularly on these lists and are right in my theoretical wheelhouse …

Definitely go for the 1080p set. It will make a noticeable difference especially with a Blu-Ray player, either playing Blu-Ray discs or upconverted DVDs. Biggest one you can afford is absolutely right. I'm still on the fence re plasma vs. LCD, I …

I downloaded it from Lala and it's 14.5 hours of music taking up 1.23 GB of space. Costs about a dollar per hour of music, and it's great stuff.

I can't speak to all of her writings, because I haven't seen that much, but I liked that piece and agree with it wholeheartedly. Of course it's a matter of taste, and the artists she mentions are undoubtedly talented and make music that appeals to …

I like Gaslight Anthem and cannot stand Animal Collective. I've tried, repeatedly, but they just don't do it for me. I'm a simple man with simple tastes. I like music with loud guitars and driving rhythms. The glut of overly sensitive bearded si…

Yeah, the Swimming Pool Q's are local legends in the Atlanta music scene. I moved there in 1988, which was towards the end of their initial run, but they used to get together for shows occasionally and I saw them at least twice. All of their stuff…

Sweet. I purchased credits yesterday at 50% off but still have the link on my account. If it hangs around I'll probably buy more in a couple of weeks.

Thanks Frogkopf! I was down to my last $3 and change and trying to hold off on cashing in some recent RECs. Much appreciated.
-
I just got an email offering me 75 free credits if I re-up at 35 credits for $15.69, or something like that. The offer is good until the end of November. I'll probably pass, but I'll keep the email just in case.

Hey, I made the list! I went over 5K last night, now up to 5459. My ratio isn't great (258 RECs, or 21.15 cents per REC), but I'm starting to get the hang of it and I still have over 300 unused RECs in the bank.

Yeah, I hate it when I skip a show and the musician dies before I get another chance to see them. I had that experience with Stevie Ray Vaughan -- he was touring with Jeff Beck and played a show in Atlanta, which I wanted to see but bagged at the …
-
I just found this thread, great idea. I wish I'd kept a brief review of every show I've ever seen, or at least a list of shows. I started saving ticket stubs about 15 years ago, but my first concert was in 1979 (Styx w/April Wine, I do remember th…

I'd say the Pitchfork list is full of WTF entries.

Hate is a strong word, but I have no use for the Dead. I used to play bass in a garage band (all covers) with several guys, one of whom was a major Dead fan, and it was funny to see where our musical tasted intersected and diverged. When I and the…

I understand the sentiment and I like to support artists when I can. I recently discovered Betty Davis on eMusic before I dropped my subscription, and after a bit of internet research discovered that she quit the music business in the 70s after get…

"oh dear... I have 6 of the 200. Funny thing is, 5 of those are some of the most disappointing albums I own.
guess I'm in the 'not even remotely cool' category....."
Me too. I must be getting old. I have something like 13 of the … -
"I need another 50% off sale.....! I have been cashing recs all morning."
Me too. Good thing these Fela releases are so cheap. I got several more this morning but my credit is down to $0.93, and I don't want to buy more until there's a… -
"I usually cash them in whenever they hit 98 cents or are at least 6 months old, unless it's a REC on a fairly big artist that I think is still under priced."
Yikes. I've RECd 201 songs and never had one come close to 98 cents. The mos… -
I used to live in Atlanta, which was the first place I'd ever lived where they sold beer and wine in grocery stores, but they couldn't sell on Sundays. They'd just turn the lights off in those aisles at midnight Saturday, and if you forgot and brou…

There's been a huge album dump on Amie the past couple of hours. Lots of stuff I've never heard of, as usual, but worth checking out. Good new releases from in Great Music on Amie Street for less than $4 Comment by Muggsy October 2009

Peer Gynt Suite.
Have you seen the movie "M?" I can't hear that without thinking of Peter Lorre.
