With due respect to what Jonahpwll says about the problems of music more than 50 years old, if greg likes saxophone let me suggest the album Tenor Madness, on which Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane go head to head on the title track. Emu has it, at l…

I wonder what an eai commuinty is. That is, I think I have a handle on the community part, but the eai stumps me. OK, I'll take a shot: experimental, ambient and inscrutable? Impossible? Inaudible?

I started out with a little Mingus, but decided I wasn't in the mood for it first thing in the morning. Instead I went with my first listen to this, which I just got long after most people, and I really like it.

I used to haunt a record store (when there were such places) that had some kind of deal, I think, with a local radio dj who would give them the promotional copies he couldn't stand. I still remember thinking this album cover was cool because you cou…

This blog page has lots of free music, much of it from bandcamp, but much from elsewhere.

I don't go to these for a number of reasons, but I got goose bumps this morning when I read in the newspaper the name of one of the bands slated for Bonnaroo this year: Buffalo Springfield. It's only been, what, 43 years?

(Quote) I don't know where the other thread is, or I might post this there instead, but someone I know got it from emu, and the tracks run from 149 to 185 kbps, with the average maybe in the 160's. That's not very good at all.

Random observations:
I hadn't listened to Mumford & Sons until last night, but my impression was that they were thinking, "Our audience right now > the sum of all our other audiences until now and for the rest of our lives, so we'… -

I'm torn about what to do about the new OTR. Emu, which I'm not using any more, has it for $5.99 and Amazon for $8.99, but the band's site has a physic…

But from one perspective, aren't bootlegs like file sharing: getting copyrighted material without compensating the copyright owner? Don't get me wrong--I'm not getting up on a pulpit myself. Some of the music I have came from, ah, … -

amclarkk2, that's obviously great, but over the weekend I got this from the library and I think in some ways--musical, not historic ways--it's much better. Really great, maybe the zenith of his performing career.

A few more that have helped to "define [me] musically." First, the only one of the three that I might keep enjoying on that desert island:

Not listening yet, but I certainly will, and buy it, too. Jeremy Messersmith is very good, I'm curious about what remixes would sound like, and "100% of your purchase of this album will go to benefit Doctors Without Borders." NYOP, not free, …

A lot of good sounding possibilities there. Surprised that only one, I think, listed Mary Gautier but glad Josh Ritter got a few nods. Some of those, like Robert Plant's band of Joy, stretch the meaning of the word "acoustic" past the breaking point.

I use Grooveshark often, but I don't know how useful it'll be for relatively obscure net labels. I looked for some of the artists on Clean Feed, for instance, and didn't find them.

Good list, amclark. What is the album with the two hands on the cover? You don't say, but that's probably because it's obvious to everyone except me.
