Went to see The Album Leaf and Tycho last night at Trees in Dallas. My wife saw The Album Leaf many years ago as a UNT student in Denton. We wondered why The Album Leaf was opening up, but it is supposed to be a double billing. Album Leaf had four m…

I tried to create a smart playlist for my ipod Touch to help me keep up with unlistened tracks. Kept it small to about 100 tracks. iTunes would keep timing out after syncing a track or two, leaving this playlist full of gray not available track. Sea…

No trouble accessing it from the U.S. Kind of odd that they mention Palmer is a ukulele player in the article title, like that is her main achievement as a musician. That seems minor compared to her being in a band with a solo career. Interesting to…

BdB: You'll have to tell us how the last few WoT books go. I can't remember if I made it to the 11th or not, it was so long ago if I did read it and it came out. The bar was rather low by book 11 after so many books of minimal plot development.

Sounds like a great idea. It's always frustrating to buy tickets and watch the price increase with the various fees add up. My wife and I are going to see Tycho/The Album leaf next week at a venue in Dallas that we'd never been to before and the buy…@greg thanks for posting about Matthew Herbert. Interesting stuff and difficult to classify!Put your beanie on and listen to Jens Lekman's new album I Know What Love Isn'tIn a similar vien, LAWeekly decide to make a list of the 20 Worst Hipster bands. Seems more like a jumped the shark kind of list, which …Did anyone else follow through with this? I was disappointed to just get two sampler CDs instead of at least one complete album. Free is free, though.nevermind@craig: I had a lot of trouble with Virtual Light too, maybe for different reasons. I find the amount of brand name dropping in Gibson's work distracting.Gardening is an apt analogy. I can see why there is software to help with tags.No problem. It used to bother me too. Now I'm more annoyed when a single space or uppercase/lowercase variation causes iTunes to treat an artist or album as two different things. I also don't know what happened to album compilation for various artis…That bundle of music reminds of software bundles through websites like supremo (Mac Update Promo). Often a few useful programs are bundled with less useful programs for say $50, available for a few weeks. Some of the artists in the bundle are famili…I've heard of the album art issue before. I had that trouble too, especially on an Ipod Classic. I think I had to delete all the music and start over. Not sure if it is what is happening with you, but for me I think the music files on my Ipod became…Plong, I tried Special Topics earlier this summer and after maybe 100 pages, gave up. Something about the quirky characters meets quirky teacher with narrator that apparently knows how to name drop books, wore thin.I have a hard time too spending these free credits, too. Weirdly enough I somehow had $8 in MP3 credits with Amazon, $3 from the promotion and the rest maybe from "textbooks."
That's also been a problem with eMu to decide from my SFL and…@Thom: September 1st is date for the next release, followed by Oct 1st. I don't think I'm going to renew once my first month is up.That would be nice, though The Kinks catalog seems slow to go digital.I had the same confusion as well NankerP. I wonder when the launch date is, not that it matters much for us.Stephenson is a good rec. The last book by him that I really loved is Cryptonomicon. I couldn't make it through his Baroque Cycle.Anyone played around with the new Importer program? From all the hype via Amazon, I thought it would spend less time uploading and more time matching my tracks with their catalog, much like iTunes match.
So far my experience has just bee…I really liked Morr's offerings to date. I think I will cancel Luaka Bop before my next billing date. It seems like a slow label compared to other's on Drip in terms of material per month so far.Luaka Bop is sending August members a keychain of the label's logo. I just signed up last night and they just had one album, but when I queried the label, they added the second album. Otherwise it's a month until another album drops.No Jacket Required was one of my first cassette albums as a kid. It all now though has been absorbed by Musak. I used to hear at least one Phil Collins song an hour when I worked at a Meijer in NW Ohio. One co worker noticed this too and yelled up t…@Lowlife Will have to check out Hammock. Always ready to try a another post-rock band.
