(Quote) You could, but if you'd been around at the time, it wouldn't have been so surprising. In those days the Rolling Stones released singles like there was no tomorrow, and they had picture sleeves that all looked exactly the same. So people w…

I was going over my SFL list to decide on what may be my last eMu downloads ever, and I discovered that eMusic is giving away the lat…

These guys (it's a band, not an individual) remind me a little of Dinosaur Jr., except that I don't really like Dinosaur Jr. all that much and I think I do like these guys. They're asking $5...

Well, here it is, officially Christmas, December the 25th - and as usual, I'm sitting here by the fireplace, taser in one hand and a syringe-full of propofol in the other, waiting for Santa Claus to come down the chimney so that I can finally get a…

He reminds me of my father too, though it's mostly because he's always shooting people and blowing stuff up.
No, wait - that's Mom, actually. Never mind... -
Brittleblood's tastes seem to be highly catholic from what I gather, so I'm guessing he's referring to Wanderer, or even eMusic ("Mordac?") itself - in other words, suggesting that they'll simply vanish/go away if people stop paying attention to the…

It's just one song, but it's a nice pop tune, very catchy, and free:

(Quote) That's the Julee Cruise "love theme" from the "Twin Peaks" soundtrack, isn't it? I'm pretty sure it is.
Thanks for the rec on the Teen Gaze album - I might just buy th… -
For major labels, 9 years is forever - they don't think in the long term, they think exclusively in the right-here and right-now. if they could figure out a way to get the entire nation of France off the internet in 9 days or even 9 minutes, they'd …

Even after all these many years, I'm still astonished by how much those guys used to look like the Residents.
Amazing! -
I suspect most Pernice Bros. fans know this, but the (lead?) guitarist for the Pernice Brothers is a guy named Peyton Pinkerton, which may or may not be his real name, and he's the front man for another band called New Radiant Storm King. Their albu…

I've been using Read It Later, but AFAIK it's only for Firefox 3.x.
I guess Bandcamp's philosophy, such as it is, is that they don't want anyone to mistake them for a… -
Well, I think you have to distinguish between people who do asinine things because they're stupid, and people who do such things because they're simply outside the tolerable range for narcissistic/sociopathic tendencies. The people we're referring t…

The way I learned it back in elementary school, a jerk is someone who has narcissistic/sociopathic tendencies but probably doesn't realize it. A dick is someone who has them, realizes it, and doesn't care... but an asshole is someone who's pretty cl…

You're talking about Goodbye Killer...? That wasn't so bad - definitely not up to previous standards, and obviously it would be hard to top The World Won't End under any circumstances... but "sucked" and "dud" are just not appropriate.…

(Quote) I'm surprised more people haven't suggested this, but isn't this really about piracy? That's all the major labels really care about these days, and it would explain the different encoding schemes and maybe even the change in the re-downlo…

I hate to sound super-cynical here or anything, but I just don't see how anyone could expect them to respond to such a question in the first place. I'm not saying it's a bad thing to demand answers, but the only thing that would make sense to the…

I doubt they even know how to get rid of it!

This is the album to play while you hang yourself on the tree after stuffing the kids into stockings and throwing them … -
Not to hijack the thread or anything, but I'm really struck by the categorization problems on these major-label back catalog releases.
You can sort of forgive the hip-hop acts for it (though I'm not sure I do), and to some extent the self-rele… -
This one by Cinderpop is a bit more poppy than psychedelic (as the name would indicate) but some ofthe tracks, esp. #6, are very definitely psychedelic. I was thinking of making this my first eMu download since the pricing change, just to see if I c…

I'd hire him!
Of course, I might not if it weren't for the fact that I work in the HR Department at Getting On Peoples' Asses About Their General Incompetence, Inc., and that we're expanding. -
I was just listening to this last night - this is the record that got me to join eMusic, back in 2007. (I was thinking of doing it anyway, but when I saw they had this before almost anybody else did, I went ahead and subscribed.)
This is a nice, and free, pastoral/chamber-pop album from one of the guys in Great Lakes Myth Society:in Bandcamp Goodies Comment by ScissorMan December 2010
No "Monkberry Moon Delight"? I mean, come on.I would have thought that after two weeks, somebody from one of the major-indies who bailed (actually just two, since Matador is part of Beggars) would have leaked something about what eMu was asking them to accept. Apparently these days it's easier…
