I'm a sucker for stuff like this - dreampop with Rachel Goswell-like vocals. They're asking 2 quid for 2 tracks, but there's also a freebie by the same act, here. Pretty!

(Quote) Naah, if she'd had a mastectomy or breast-reduction surgery there'd be bruising and discoloration, maybe even scarring. My guess is she's been dating this guy:

Thanks to Thom (and Charlene Kaye?) for recommending this - it took a couple of listens but I'm really beginning to like it. Reminds me a lot of Field Music, actually, and maybe some of the earlier/quirkier Divine Comedy stuff. And they're giving…

Heh heh... :^)
Apparently, current wing-nut theory has it that the growing protests in the Middle East will result in new transitional governments dominated by communists, which will all unite to form a "new caliphate" from which the Ant… -
I guess I always assumed that the original number was 616, and that they changed it because Mazda threatened to sue the religious folks for infringement shortly after they started producing the in WOO HOO! Comment by ScissorMan February 2011

It might itch slightly, but a little calamine lotion should clear it right up!

I don't think Paypal can freeze your actual bank account, can they? AFAIK they can only freeze the money in your PayPal account. If they had the power to freeze bank accounts and actually used it, I don't think very many people would use PayP…

You mean your PayPal credit card number, or the bank account number associated with it, or just the e-mail address? You can hardly get upset about people knowing your e-mail address and/or the name associated with it, unless you're one of the lucky …

Well, I think it depends on whether it's an extradimensional vortex or a "quantum" vortex. You're not supposed to throw things into a quantum vortex because by doing so, you're reducing the mass of your own universe while increasing the mass of anot…

I was just at the MoMA a few weeks ago - I must have missed it! Maybe it was buried under all the hay bales on the second floor.

(Quote) It looks like it's just an "MP3 download card" attached to an empty tote bag. Now, if he'd actually woven an MP3 player into the fabric of the tote bag in such a way that you could only play it by hooking up the actual tote bag to your st…

A lot of times what would happen back in those days, though, was that a band from the UK would sign to something like Virgin or Rough Trade or Factory or Mute or whatever, and their records would be available as imports, distributed in the US by out…

REM released their first single, "Radio Free Europe" on "Hib-Tone Records," but after that they were signed by IRS. At the time, IRS had some kind of piggyback distribution deal with A&M, who in turn were nominally independent, but they were muc…

Well, they need your credit card number so that they can know who you are, which is necessary because if they don't know who you are then they can't verify your credit card number.

Genre-wise, Kites are something of a mixed bag - I guess I'd call it "progpop" if I had to settle on one thing, but though it's not my usual thing I sort of like it anyway. The people involved are clearly very talented, especially the drummer. They …

I myself was diggin' on The Fabulous Ginn Sisters, and I don't even like country music. Heck, I don't even l…

Okay, here's a fairly easy one: I could take my eMu account off hold status to buy the new Dears album for $6.99, or I could just buy it from the Dears' label, …

Hmm, I must agree - that's a very nice record. It does sound a bit Arcade-Fire-ish, but after only the one listen I think I already like it better than any of the Arcade Fire albums.
There should be a name for this genre, isn't there? I … -
Maybe it's a really terrible album, so that if they were to leak (or give away) tracks in advance, it would have the opposite effect...? Interesting question.
I agree that practically any sort of watermarking, tagging, or other version-d… -
It's possible the Bieber contingent - who are, after all, mainly young girls - is viewing this as a kind of reverse sexism. After all, if you're male, the last person you'd want to give an award to is Justin Bieber, whereas it's difficult to look at…

(Quote) It's probably grandstanding - they're trying to get people to believe the recording itself is high-end enough that there's a noticeable quality difference, even between that and 320 Mbps. And who knows, maybe it is!

Shoegazer/dreampop/noisepop fans who failed to obtain 800beloved's album Bouquet while it was being sold by their ex-label (Moodgadget) will be happy to learn that they can now download it from Bandcamp for free:

There's also rmusic.com, which looks like it could easily have been set up primarily to take advantage of fat-fingering by people looking for eMusic.

A bit more electronic than what I usually go for (it's tagged "electro-pop"), but it's free for an e-mail address, and some of the tunes are really good - I think my favorite is "Replacing You." They remind me a lot of Stars, actually, but without t…

Well, we have "My Country 'Tis of Thee," the bastardized version, which is at least as bad...
Anyway, if I had to come up with the ideal female singer for "The Star-Spangled Banner" at future Super Bowls, I guess it would have to …
