  • I don't think your going to be able to give a 30 year-old band like Sonic Youth an individual genre tag that will do them justice. I'd say '"experimental rock/post-punk."

    Noise-Rock is one that I haven't really nailed down for myself y…
  • Seems like a very natural progression when you're shifting toward a philosophy of album downloads. Does seem to indicate the health club model has come to a close.
  • For the longest time I did a blitz based of my SFL list. I still work from the SFL and download everything on refresh day, but now I focus more on a particular style or artist, always picking up a couple random outsiders.

    My SFL is most…
  • "I thought that was a "fun" version, but I do not think I listened to it more than once or twice. EasyAll-Stars were respectful and (I thought) built on the firm foundation of the original, Luther was a parody, or maybe a novelty recording. I can al…
  • I don't hate the Dead, I'm just not interested. Don't use the word "awesome" when you try to convince me otherwise.

    >>"I never get upset when people don't like my music either."

    I'm the same way, but I find people in g…
  • I would recommend Fumbling, B-Sides and Rarities, Solace, Freedom Sessions, and then Surfacing. I haven't listened to her stuff much as of late though. She does a really good cover of Lightfoot's Song for a Winters Night.

    hmm.. albums…
  • "I really like their first album, Dub Side of the Moon. Sgt Pepper's was not as fun for me, and I did not touch the RadioDread disc (mostly since I do not know Radiohead from a hole in the ground.)"

    To me Dub Side worked because Dark Sid…
  • If you really love an album, do listen to it repeatedly and just enjoy the enjoyment of it. But, this is a rare case and the rare is the reason for the indulgence. While I disagree with the technique of listening to an album repeatedly to soak in …
  • Curtais Mayfield "Superfly"

    Gene Moore "Carnival of Souls" An eerie all organ soundtrack for a horror movie.

    the Twin Peaks soundtracks, especially the stuff that Juliee Cruise ended up doing after ward. David Lynch was alw…
  • Yah, I wasn't actually addressing your comment. I could have been more clear :)
    The thing is, they'd probably take it instead of sayi…
  • Micheal Jackson records are worth money right now, and it's the only time they'll ever be worth money. Unless of course you have something like a sealed original pressing of Thriller. At least with Mp3s you don't have to wait for a premium priced …
  • Hence why I never noticed the change. Ironically, the radio is the one thing I never used on that site.
  • They could relieve a lot of aggravation right now if they simply raised the "album-only" track length threshold to about 15-20 minutes. That seems to be a more reasonable point between a long track, and something that was intended to fill a signifi…
  • Yah it's the right link. The forum just wasn't happy with my linking style as it seems.
  • Some parts of the Internet would call him a "concern troll." Someone who levels criticism while pretending to be helpful. Sort of like when the mother-in-law helps out in the kitchen to make sure the meal isn't ruined.

  • His last thread starter would have been good satire if he wasn't so sincere.

  • It seems that those of us outside North America got sort of a double burn today. We're only seeing half the change. We're seeing the "album only" tracks but not the caps. The Minutemen album is still 24 credits for me.

    I figured eMus…
  • I'd rec Liberation.

  • Fembots "Small Town Murder" scene to pick something off a random mix CD of eMusic material. Alt-Country with a grainy film soundtrack feel. Which for no real reason reminds me of this other Toronto country band: in i'm gonna start rooting thru my emusic folder to see what i've mist Comment by Televiper June 2009
  • My pseudo-random sampling yielded quite a few artists with 50+ downloads. But, then again, I'm a fan of numbers and the surprises they yield.

  • hmm... CapnMatt has been here since Sept 2004. Assuming he had a 90 download account. 12 * 90 * 5 = 5400. He's downloaded 203 artists which is an average of 26 songs per artist. Browsing through his downloads that looks like it. If he's like …

  • Karsh Kale (on the Ambient India) has some really interesting stuff. Little bit of an Enigma feel but heavier on the East Indian pop. Realize is…
  • Actually, Wanderer had been around the message boards for at least a couple of months and if it wasn't for these changes we could probably accuse him of being an iTunes shill. Just put the tin foil hats away and ignore him. Of course then again, y…

  • Being that this is such a vibrant and active community, I don't see why he wouldn't.

  • At least they're starting to get the Recommended Reading section back. The Reply Tracker has been back for awhile but it's not as upfront.

    in Reformat the new Last.FM using Firefox and Opera Comment by Televiper June 2009
  • Now that I'm figuring out where everything is and what they've changed their names to it's not as bad. The two things I used the most "Reply Tracker" and "Recommended Reading" haven't been added back to the format yet. My biggest complaints over a…
  • If the big change over at Last.FM was any indication of what the new trend is I'm a bit worried too. At least Last.FM can be cured with Firefox and a Stylish script. However, it may just end up being really neat as well.
