  • All I want to know is, are they getting the new Field Music and Go Team albums (both on Memphis Industries) or not?
  • Field Music is coming to my area in a few weeks. Thinking about going, but I was wondering if anyone's seen them and can tell me if they're worth the price of admission?
  • I've been an emu member for a looong time. In all my time there, I never really had any significant issues. I suspended/cancelled my service a while ago, but was lured back by their $100 offer. Now I'm having the same problem as amclark. Refresh dat…
  • Shout out for two Xmas releases that I just picked up and really like:

    Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, It's a Holiday Soul Party. Leads off with the funkiest Hannukah song EVER and also includes my new favorite version of Drummer Boy th…
  • My emu account had been dormant for years, but I got an email over the weekend that was hard to refuse: $100 bonus when I signed up for a $11.99 per month plan.

    Of course, the site's been down almost since the day I renewed. Welcome back …
  • Google Play just added a another bunch of free Playlist best-of compilations: Ray Charles, Iseey Brothers, Marvin Gaye, lots of country bands.

    Except I just tried to download some of them and when the "buy it" window popped up, it said t…
  • The best Amie Street day was when they added the entire Beggar's Banquet catalog all at once. I had to open a second account on Amie Street because I exceeded my maximum downloads on my primary account.
  • This may be old news to many of you, but Wilco just released a new album on Friday called "Star Wars"...and it's free on google play (actually, I think you can get it free from Wilco's website, too).

  • I, too, used to listen when it was free. I never considered paying, though, because sound quality on more than a few of the shows was bootleg quality...or worse.
  • VW's new one is only $5 at 7digital. Since eMu won't have it, I'll probably pick it up there.
  • re: Peter Banks. The AV Club had a very thorough (and not at all snarky) obit, which I found very interesting. So interesting, in fact, that I downloaded Flash's "In the Can" on Guvera and I'm listening to it right now. Sounds like every prog band f…

  • I'm surprised no one flagged "The Complete '50s Concerts" by Dave Brubeck. 65 songs for $3.99? That sounds like a decent bargain to me.
  • So Massachusetts wants to nominate "Roadrunner" by The Modern Lovers as its official state rock song.

    Since Guvera is such an excellent source of punk and post-punk, I checked for availability of the album and, lo and behold, it's on the…

  • A couple of available labels that I'm not sure anyone's mentioned:

    Eighteenth Street Lounge (ESL). Label started by Thievery Corporation. Lots of electronic lounge music. Highlights include Chris Joss, Ursula 1000, Thunderball. If you li…

  • That AutoRip thing is weird. There's a bunch of albums listed that I know I (or anyone in my family) bought on CD: Dan Auerbach, Jimmy Page & Robert Plant, Grizzly Bear, etc. Not that I"m complaining...
  • Still getting the same error. I've upgraded to the latest version of Flash, quit out of all my browsers, even shut down the whole computer. Nothing. The most annoying part is that I can see the entire homepage for a fleeting second before I get redi…

  • Having the exact same problem as Katrina. I'm using Firefox (and I tried Safari) for Mac, OS 10.5.8. Updated to latest version of Flash, still doesn't work.

  • Best of Frank Sinatra, just 99 cents for 22 songs, mostly from the Rat Pack era. So download it already, baby...
  • Today's daily deal is Rush's newest album, Clockwork Angels, for just 99 cents. Here's your chance to grab the latest release from the World's Greatest Canadian Power Rock Trio (sorry, Triumph!) for less than the cost of a 20 oz Mt. Dew.
  • Today's eMu freebie is a crate digger's wet dream: "Ronn Forella….Moves!" by Thom Janusz. Great slice of 70s era smooth funk. Track 5 is free today, but the entire album is only $2.45, a bargain considering that original LPs are very rare and go for…
  • It's time for the annual free Pitchfork Music Festival sampler. 29 tracks, free thru the end of July:

  • New $3.99 sale at google (without Amazon price matching, oddly). Looks like the connecting thread is the '90s -- Nirvana, Sonic Youth, Public Enemy, etc.
  • New google sale: "acoustic" music on sale for $3.99. I'm putting acoustic in quotes because of some of the offerings, like The Decemberists "The King is Dead," which is good, but decidedly not acoustic. Thinking about grabbing the Wynton Marsalis/Wi…
  • Too lazy to see if this has come up before, but someone on the eMu boards pointed out this 4-disc latin funk comp from Fania called El Barrio. Jus…
  • thanks for the google tip. Looks like the sales are celebrating a rebranding of their service. I hope the 25 cent deal is a daily thing. I grabbed today's (for my preteen girls, I swear!). I'd say 25 cents is precisely what most of those songs are w…
  • I just grabbed "Superfly," "Black Caesar," and "Good Will Hunting." Trying to grab the Deluxe edition of "O brother...", but google won't let me. Keep getting an error.
  • Soundtrack buffs: in celebration of the Oscars, Google has a handful of soundtracks on sale for $3.99. Includes Shaft, Superfly, O Brother (Deluxe edition)... and more.
  • Just grabbed Tom Waits' new one—the deluxe edition—for a mere $4.99. I think eMu is charging about $10 for it.
  • Jonah, thanks for the advice. I'll start loading my wishlist with some EMG goodies.

    So I finally signed up for my 30 freebies and grabbed:

    Finn Riggins, "vs. Wilderness." I highly recommend it for anyone who likes Built to Sp…
  • StSmith,

    I appreciate that Mtraks needed a facelift, and I may be in the minority, but the new site functions extremely poorly for me. As I said in an earlier post, I'm thinking about joining, but performance issues are giving me pause. …
