Interesting that they would ask what the first song you ever bought was - maybe this is aimed at a younger demographic, because it hasn't really been all that long since people only bought albums and singles. After 1970 it was mostly albums..…

Cool, this means I'll be able to download One Direction's albums as .MTR files and mute out Niall's voice from all the songs completely.

I hadn't noticed the post with the Dave Grohl photo above, but the thing he was wearing on his right foot is an Aircast SP Short-Pneumatic Walking Boot, in The News Room Comment by ScissorMan September 2015

He probably asked if he could use "Plastic Palace People," one of the originals from Scott 2, but he was rebuffed after a quick examination of his record of union-busting and university-dismantling revealed him to be utterly unsuitable for any elect…

Just outside of Reading, isn't it? That's almost the next town over from Swindon. XTC is from Swindon...

First Listen: Beach House, Depression Cherry
My verdict so far is... not as good as the last two, better than the first two. The…

That's a Yellow Garden Orb Weaver. It's similar to Gary Wright's Dream Weaver, because I believe it can reach the morning light. Also, it sucks (i.e., its venom has enzymes that help liquefy its victim's innards, which are then vacuumed into the sto…

"The Safety Dance" wasn't so bad. If you want really bad, then you have to go with Night Ranger's "Sister Christian" or the theme song from "Saint Elmo's Fire" by John Parr, stuff like that. Or even Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up," which is …

Not sure if this is the ideal thread to resurrect for something like this, but apparently Pitchfork is bringing back their "Pitchfork.tv Classic" video series with a documentary on Slowdive's Souvlaki, one of my all-time favorite albums. Release dat…

Cupcakes are product. Songs are property; the recording is the product, not the song. You establish your ownership of property knowing you may have to defend it against others who want to take it from you, or in the case of intellectual property, co…

They're not "setting the record straight" on "a few misconceptions" about "the
so-called ‘larger’ ramifications of this case," though. They're not in charge of setting the record, straight or otherwise. It's history, it's not their record to s… -
He's right about the hubcaps, though. I had a set stolen from me once, and when I later saw them attached to one of those ultra-futuristic "concept cars" like they were designed for it, boy was I steamed.
As for "Blurred Lines," the first… -
The new Swervedriver comeback/reunion album, entitled I Wasn't Born to Lose You, is on NPR First Listen, probably for a week or s…

Ian McLagan, one of the founding members of the Small Faces. Bummer.

(Quote) It's impressive, but what really matters is where the remaining 85% is stored - in your expansive climate-controlled library addition, a rented self-storage unit out by the interstate, or your mom's basement.

I might have to re-subscribe...
My best guess is that they're fed up with major-label collusion on digital-download pricing, they know they can't compete at the bottom-end with the streaming-only services, and they figure their existing … -
(Quote) I think this may be a false rumor, to some extent - it's true you can't delete it from iCloud, and maybe not if you have an iPhone and you downloaded the files to it (I have an Android phone), but it can't stop you from deleting the files…

I suspect for most of the regulars on this site, the loss of the iPod Classic is the biggest (bad) news of all - by far, if you ask me. I guess we have to believe that once all the iPod Classics currently in store stocks are sold, someone will start…

(Quote) I've been through this sort of experience, and the simple answer is that there's no practical way to distribute domain ownership among multiple interested parties, who are not incorporated, that's completely safe.
However, the… -
I have one on vinyl (Revolver), one on CD (Pet Sounds), and one as MP3s-only (Tapestry). I vaguely recall having a copy of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road on vinyl about 30 years ago, but I forget if I sold it or just dropped i…

(Quote) This was really one of the most ludicrous things I've seen during the whole sorry series, and that's saying a LOT. I mean, the guy's less than 24 hours from fighting a huge pitched battle, and he has the energy to go out there and cut fou…

If you're using a Macintosh, and you've already reset and cleared out the iPod, try unplugging it and then dragging the "com.apple.iPod.plist" file out of Library > Preferences and into another folder (or the deskt… -
I've found a few things to listen to on Amazon Prime - the most recent Nightmare Air album is there, a couple of Dodos albums, some Frankie Rose material, things like that. It's nice if you've already paid for Amazon Prime, which in turn is useful i…

Does he cover them with dirt, or does he just use a tarp or something?

Your plan sounds fine, in fact I wish my own parents had been more like you... but regardless, has he ever tried to play a 3/4-size electric guitar, like a cheap Squier Mini-Strat? Or is he still too small for that?

You have to use "url" as the tag descriptor, not "http."
Good choice on Luminous Groove, by the way! (Not to be confused with "Luminous," the in On Sale Comment by ScissorMan March 2014 -
Ahh, the work Beethoven produced during his so-called "green period" is some of the best in his entire oeuvre, at least in my opinion.
