I'm usually up a little bit before my wife, so whenever I've seen on the news that someone famous has died I say something when she comes down. This time I was so shocked I couldn't, I just asked her to come and look at the headline. I do…

W00t! The gravy train continues!

@greg, have you any specific info about changes to plans?
I have two annual 90/month accounts ("eMusic Premium Annual"). The one that just renewed says it will convert at the e… -
Just been messing around with My Music Cloud and discovered that the Firefox add-on Video DownloadHelper allows you to download anything you can play!
So I've already replaced one album that only existed in a burned and then damaged CD... not s… -
Oh, also if you're interested in classical, MusicWeb has its reviewers' albums of the year:

I've got 9 from Gioia's list, which is quite high compared to previous years:
8. "Spin Cycle" - Afiara Quartet & Skratch Bastid
9. "Liaisons" - Anthony de Mare
15. "Render" - Roomful of Teeth
26. "Dreamfall" - NOW EnsembleI got the email, so it's definitely available for "Europe" anyway.
^ Already sitting comfortably as my "Album of the Year", in fact.
It's a sometimes funny, other times unsettling expansion of Bierce's story, which can be read here: http://…Another Bandcamp freebie! This time it's the Marathon '15 Mixtape:

A plug for my good friend Nigel Quinlan's children's fantasy "The Maloneys' Magical Weatherbox", which has just been published.
Neil and…Just checking this thread and... hey!... I'm actually listening to that album right now. And yes, it is a joy to hear.
I'm curious about the Ishiguro. The review in the Sunday Times completely failed to use the word "fantasy" but it sure as heck sounds like a fantasy novel to me.
I have to say Wolf Hall might be the best thing ever.
My review of David Lang's "What?... Wow" festival is ready for publishing... uncharacteristically rapid on my part, I have to say.
Ahead of the "What?... Wow" festival in Dublin on Fri/Sat (oh man I am so excited!), here's another freebie from BOAC on Bandcamp, with several Irish composers:

Though I've …GP, the Wikipedia page is the one to trust (well, OK, apart from the omitted concerto from the op.4 list). The RV list is sortable so you don't need your spreadsheet!
The "opus 40" business is to do with a failed attempt to catalogue Viv…Hmm, I forgot to mention that my second best-of list is ready to go.Considering how much credit they've just given away, I'm a little peeved that they only gave me a single credit as refund for the bad track I reported recently. In the past they've refunded for the whole album.And I still have to finish off my second classical list - should be done Monday.Complained about a defective track this morning, and the automated response included this: (Quote) Must be a lot of "hey, where's my 100 bucks??" mail...Nothing on either of my accounts, sob.
Though I suppose if everyone got one, it would be a sure sign emusic was giving away the store.My first list is ready to go.
Yes, I said "first", if that's OK. This one's new classical; I'll do an "old" classical top 20 next week.(Quote)
Hey, that's a coincidence! I just need twenty album blurbs and an intro and I'll have my top 20!Hey, remember back in the day when we were all like, who's this Taylor Swift person and why is she top of the eMusic charts all the time?
From 2007:I still have to decide on a few recent purchases, but most of my list is in place. When will I actually write it up for MiG? Give it a couple of weeks, maybe.
