I'm with Katrina, I'm afraid - I thought the Minutemen were one of the most overrated bands of that whole era, maybe of all time. I saw We Jam Econo too, only to be further convinced that they were a waste of time. I'll admit they weren't (an…

I hate to be like this, but I first heard REM as a volunteer DJ at a college radio station in 1981. We were opening the new releases, which were obviously all vinyl back then, and one of us opened an envelope from "Hib-Tone" and inside was one of th…

I nearly cancelled yesterday - I managed, once again, to get my balance down to exactly $0.00, mostly so that when I went to the account-cancellation page I could have a nice laugh at seeing how I would "lose my account balance of $0.00." Still, I'm…

You know, there's a certain subtlety that's called for when trying to promote a product on an independent internet forum, and I'm afraid you're not quite there with it...?

For those of you who enjoy your black depression with an extra helping of gloominess, you can hardly go wrong with the vaguely Joy-Divisionesque [url=]Sun Devoured Earth[/url], from sunny Latvia!

Interesting... I had no idea that was going on. I don't suppose there are similar laws in place for the UK and Europe...?
Presumably if the artist is still under contract to the label they were on in 1978, and is still happy with that ar… -
Just this one track so far, unfortunately. (Free) -
I'm not sure this would qualify as not being a major-indie, but the Envy Corps' Dwell has never been on eMu, despite it being a Mercury Records release, but it's on Sp…

Well, speaking as a programmer myself, it really is frustrating when folks forget to tell you what browser and OS they're using. Unless of course you have an assistant whose job it is to e-mail the person back and ask, but who can afford those, thes…

E-mail them?
It really is exceptionally underhanded that you can't cancel out of a suspended membership from the website without incurring a charge - in fact, that may be the single most underhanded thing about eMu, and that's saying a l… -
Along with the new player, which I actually do like, it appears that eMu is doing something potentially sneaky in there.
If you look at View Source for the topmost frame of an album page, there's a line in the JavaScript section b… -
Dang, I wonder how much they paid some poor sap to figure out how to get it to do that? Jeez, they've probably got thousands of lines of code dedicated to making it react to volume-control changes. No wonder they had to make it a desktop app.

I got Spotify just last night, and it's already stored about 168 MB in my C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Spotify\Storage\86 folder. That seems like a lot, doesn't it?
I'm checking now to see if it plays commercials when I'm only playing… -
I'd still like to see some custom BBCode that allows us to embed the Bandcamp player in posts, not to mention SoundCloud and the "FlowPlayer" from archive.org. Though I'll admit those things do make pages load more slowly... if the BBCode could som…

Well, it's just a regular bag. The main thing is to check inside the bag to see if there's spam in it, and if so, is the spam still in the can, or is it spead all over the inside, rotting away and smelling objectionable.
Also, it … -
I bought one of the bags, just to make sure.

I thought I recognized that photo...!
As for Kindle books, I thought the authors had a big role in price-determination (or fixing, if you prefer)… -
(Quote) Not to worry - I'm pretty sure Alan Vega and Martin Rev are both still alive. (Vega is over 70, though...)
Still, it's a bummer about Amy Winehouse... I never really got into her recordings all that much, but she did have quit… -
Hmm... Having read through that interview, I'd call it about 95 percent bullsh*t, spin, and deception. ("ARPU"?) The other 5 percent includes things like "people don't read first and listen second; they listen first and read second" and "If a…

Finally!

Ah, finally someone seems to get it... and I'm glad it's them, too. -
It's not just your crappy laptop speakers!
That's a very common thing to do these days, and you'd think people would would have moved on from it by now... in this case, they're not even doing it very well. The song is perfectly fine for … -
I listened to it, and now I have strange blisters growing in my armpits! Omigod, one of the bigger blisters... it looks like... what is that, a human face? It's trying to say something... it's...

Rollover... what? It's a trick! Don't do it!
Wait a minute, wrong website - I thought I was logged into the House Republican Caucus there for a minute. -
This new album released yesterday by Luther Russell (who I'd never heard of before today, though it looks like he's been around for a while) is really good. The image link is to the eMu page, but you can also get it (and stream the whole thing) from…

I have to say, 2011 has not been all that impressive to me so far - it's already mid-July and I haven't heard anything I like better than T…

I should add that when I say "server farm," I'm referring to their one (and so far, only) web server, which is located on a small hog farm in upstate New York. Apparently this problem was so serious that several of the hogs actually fell unconscious…
-
Hmm, try it again - apparently a band called "Oops" released a new album called "Error 404", and it knocked out their entire server farm for a few hours.

After suffering through the first 20 minutes of Alive! Is Michael Jackson Really Dead? on Netflix streaming, I'm convinced that someone shou…

They don't require you to use a special "downloader" application, if that's what you mean - if you actually buy something, they send you straight to a page with a download link on it. For free tracks that require an e-mail address, they send you an …
