+1 on reducing the stickies.
As for categories, I like categories - they're especially handy if the thread title is a little, shall we say, opaque. As someone who used to spend a lot of time working on subject-based indexes, though, I th… -
Tyrannical eMusic boss: "This message board is shit! Have you scum made any changes to it in the past 10 years?"
Programming minion (meekly): "It can do Cyrillic script?"

I'm with thom on this one (of course I would be, having contributed on a minor level). I like the idea of pomposity being overwhelmed by a tidal wave of pointlessness.
At this stage, a lot of what's being posted over there could easily … -

Hi ,
It was our error. I adjusted it to 0.49.

I love how Wandy complains that nobody on the boards talks about music anymore... do you think he'll ever realise that a lot of the people who were talking about music were the ones who've left since the "greatest day in the history of eMusic…

Here's the 2nd mix: Solo instrumental and Chamber.

I've finally got round to creating an 8tracks mix, available here (and on the blog). This one covers all 15 albums in the Medieval/Renaissance, Baroque Inst…

Well, on the bright side, there's still an eMusic community.
Granted, it's a community united only by its hatred of eMusic, but still... -
This is 28 years of listening distilled into 12 albums, not so much albums that provide a "musical definition" of me now, but some highlights from the times. Feel free to invent your own theme because I can't find one, other than that life is…

Wait a second, in that photo the drummer doesn't have any arms.

That's a shame. It certainly wasn't as comprehensive as I'd have liked, but it was a very handy decision-making aid. So it's back to the Penguin and Gramophone Guides and a lot of plodding through searches on MusicWeb etc...
Or something… -
There's a bunch of different site names that bring you to the emusic page - they've been round for ages IIRC. evideo.com is another, and also... well, have a look:

For childhood-memory reasons, nothing says "Christmas" to me like:

(Quote) Wait, so eMusic now owns the intellectual property rights to "go fuck yourself"?

Of course for us plebs in Europe, this is just the extended drum roll before nothing happens.

Amazingly, it looks like eMusic managed to fuck up things even more with Universal than they did with Sony.
First the monetary-pricing change, which alienated a lot of people and raised far more questions than it answered.
Then they anno… -
Hey Brighter, your Salvador Dali opera link proved prescient!

Congratulations, Craig and Mrs Craig!

(Quote) Yeah, a commitment to a subscription only really makes sense when the return on the commitment significantly outweighs the cost. As eMu gets closer to regular prices, a monthly subscription becomes less like an opportunity to get m…

Us classical types don't do "tracks" - and anyway I still have a lot of music on CD - but my classical collection is on the order of 123 days' worth of music.

Worst hood ornament ever!

Wait a second... I thought western civilization had already been destroyed by Boy George back in the eighties...

Hey, nice blog, nice family.
And, belatedly now, happy anniversary - mine was yesterday too! -

I misread your syntax there, and got the wrong emphasis: "like having sex with a pork chop... in your mouth", which is way the hell away from the general silliness you were aiming for.
Also, "a swinging bender" does not necessarily mea… -
The photo accompanying that article (click on it to get the full thing) perfectly captures how I see eMusic. The musicians speak to me of the persistent editorial tone of "We love music! And so do you! So now we're all friends! Isn't it awesome?!", …

One or other of Sarah Palin's children fails to cancel an eMusic trial subscription in time, and Sarah starts a relentless Twitter campagin about "eMusic up there in New York, pallin' around with Sony" and "It's high time eMusic stopped thinkin' abo…

Coming soon to a TV near you: "Can You Arouse Tim Mason To Fury?"
Each week, contestants (members of the "public") must inventively, or otherwise, perform some sort of activity combining 3 things that really used to get Tim Mason's goat,…
