Please note that Hitchcock fans should stay far, far… -
Please don't misunderstand me, folks... what I'm sayin' is that if y'all want the eMu boards to go back to discussing primarily music, you actually have to be proactive, not reactive. Avoiding the boards (and, some would argue, the internet in gener…

Others will replace them...
I certainly sympathize with your wanting to see the boards go back to being less divisive, but corporations rot from the head down, and the stench of that has long since reached the customers. You can blame th… -
It might be if they were actually doing it... I mean, at this point, I almost have to believe that the "Moderating Team" was some sort of practical joke played by the eMusic Customer Service department (if one can even call it that) on their own cus…Apparently there's a woman named Janice Whaley who's been recording her own versions of all the Smiths albums, mostly with just lots of (her) vocals, …
Kiss (1974): From an historical perspective, it's impossible not to list this album first, if only because it was the first albu…At the risk of coming off as too Dave-Barry-like, I'd just like to point out that "The Infamous Eel Scene" would be a good name for an indie rock band.(Quote) I sat through it once, though I'm pretty sure I had to be strapped down at the time (or did they use heavy chains? It was a long time ago).

The fun really starts at around the 2:30 mark...(Quote) Actually, they don't know that. The whole site is supposed to be dedicated to locating "great deals" on music, so to have a special page that says "these are great deals" when they're not is simply deceptive.

There's also "reputation management," "social media analytics," "brand protection" (which usually means company-paid so…I don't see anyone asking the crucial question about this, which is whether or not these four people have been hired specifically to moderate the eMu boards. If so, it's also possible that they're actually working for a contractor - there areThe Yellowbirds are a sort of folksy avant-pop band from NYC whose EP The Color features the single "The Rest of My Life" ($1 for the single, streaming-only for the album, at l…Nice (and free) three-track EP from a Chicago psych/shoegazey act called "Pink Frost":
