This is really cool, thanks for pointing it out! One can actually obtain the complete works of Carl Ruggles for free - otherwise out-of-print, and it's a very nice rip, too.

(Quote) Wait a minute, I have a US release on Harvest/Capitol (ST-12203), with the big round stage cover (not the "Spring Issue" cartoon cover) that has "Urges" and "Leipzig" along with the guitar version of "Radio Silence," and doesn't have "Bli…

Looks like most of the XTC catalogue has finally arrived (via the 2001 Caroline-Astralwerks reissues), so that's all that really matters, right?

You're now the guy who sets up the free daily downloads on AAJ? Is that term-based, or do you have that role until you relinquish it? That's a fairly big deal IMO, at least among jazz fans... I'd say congratulations are in order, though I suspect yo…

Isn't that the one that's partially based on House of Leaves? Apparently Mark Danielewski is her brother or something. That's probably one of my five favorite novels of the last 40 years. (I'd say 50 years, but I didn't really get into contem…

I thought being a "hipster" meant you owned a Yo La Tengo record? As I recall, at one point you also had to admit to owning one, but I thought they dropped that requirement once MP3 sales surpassed CDs...

Well, you need something with all one-word titles for everything, then.
This just showed up on eMu for $5.88 USD, but you can stream the whole thing from Bandcamp (where it's $9.00 USD):
The terrible music-on-hold is probably deliberate, a contractual thing with the major labels who assume that if they were to play actual songs while people are on hold, those people would tape the songs right off the phone and use the recordings to …I agree, these are getting better as he goes along, aren't they? Of course, I just happen to really dig abstract expressionism in general, but still.I'm definitely likin' #213... you could've been just a couple of publicity agents away from MoMA with that one! (And I mean that sincerely.)Looks like a collection of live tracks, most of them probably bootlegged. Besides, I would consider most of that stuff "prog rock," not "space rock." Maybe some "Krautrock" in there too, but it has little to do with what's usually considered psyched…Here's a 4-track EP from a grungey guitar band in Spokane, WA - so far I only really like Track 3, but overall there are some nice moments. Not so sure about the cover art - they seem to be going for some sort of 1910's American silent-movie dialog-…Here in the USA we've been aware for some time that the internet is just a series of tubes, so if they're spaghetti noodles they should fit in there pretty easily.I was impressed!
"Everybody Wants to Rule the World" and "In the Air Tonight" are kinda skippable, though. Black metal just doesn't work with that shuffling 2/4 beat in the former, and as for the latter, well... I don't think you could m…Well, some people will tell you that decades technically begin in the "1" year, not the "0" year, so if you follow that reasoning then album of the year and album of the decade are actually the same thing. Of course, when people tell me that,…Generally speaking, I also refuse to support this sort of thing, not even to replace vinyl. I've bought box-sets by the Auteurs, Magazine, Nick Drake, Robyn Hitchcock, and of course XTC, but most of that was stuff I didn't already have (at least in …He wouldn't have to actually work for the RIAA or a label for that, though... He might be an (ex-)musician himself, or a band manager, or an attorney with one or more clients who are musicians. Or even just related to someone like that? If anything,…
@GP: If you DL'd it from eMu, and it really was "quite a while" back, I'm going to take a semi-educated guess here and say it was probably this one:
