Performing this type of *art live onstage didn't seem to be that difficult for Le P

I had similar problems a few months back, I was using emusic/j, and tried the 'official' DLM as an alternative to no avail. I'm pretty sure that there was a thread on it on the boards over there, but can't find it with a quick search, there seem to …

I've never been near Kansas or any dry/moist states in the US, but this reminded me about licencing laws here in the UK about 25 years ago. On Sundays, lunchtimes and between 7-10.30pm were when the pubs and bars could serve in most of England, part…

I tried to download the Tompkins freebies and got taken to the reactivate account page with that rip-off offer of 24 downloads per month for £9.99 so I didn't manage to get them. It was on a Windows machine though, reading Katrina's posts I'll check…

It's definitely only 4 credits here in the UK, just checked again. Another instance of emu's bizarre approach to this world wide web thingy!

I went into a Sainsburys yesterday too, no sign of them either. Not sure what the 'gift card display' the thread poster mentioned is, I found the greeting cards and similar items, but nothing resembling emu cards. I went to the counter that does the…

I signed into emu today and tried to respond to a thread, I'd read that other ex-users had managed to do so, but I kept getting returned to the message board index page. Is this usual behaviour for recently canceled members, or was it emu just havin…

The agree with the recs made above, plus I'd suggest that 'He Miss Road' and 'Underground System are well worth getting too.
I listened to the in Too Much Fela Kuti on Amie Comment by dubdance November 2009 -
@ martyna - I sampled the Mudville, you're right about the way a first hearing of it(even with 30 sec samples in my case) hits the ears and brain, Very similar to how some of Portishead and PJ Harvey have in the past too. As the AMG guy says the "…

I too have no idea on the finer details of label/artist/format deals. Surely with downloading sites possibly cutting out a fair number of the middle people, and their cuts, even though downloads may be cheaper than a hard copy, is there any reason w…

OK, thanks for the background info. I've just checked the myspace page you linked to. Is the shop closing anything to do with a drop in demand for vinyl/CD's etc? Many of my favourite specialist, rather than general music shops like Virgin and HMV, …

@ Katrina - that may well be another reason why I've had no worthwhile offer too, I've been checking out the freebies as well.
@ frogkopf - I've signed in since the subscription expired, it's made no difference so far. I have to sign in … -
@ brighternow Your very welcome. I think I prefer A & O's earlier albums like those you have, not that there's anything wrong with the latter ones, it's often how things go with me, if I get into an act early on I often tend to prefer those work…

My subscription finished on the 22nd of this month, when I hit the cancel buttons the week before that I got a 'special' deal offered to me of 12 downloads / 30 days for £4.99 (US$7.99), even when we leave we still get charged far more over here th…

I don't think it needs to be highly categorised, or else the rock/indie sections should be split up similarly, this is mainly a discussion/recommendations site, if it was for downloads a greater division would certainly make sense(are you reading em…

Various reggae/dub freebies:
Twilight Circus - various free tracks from some of their albums, most available in full over there, Ryan Moore's various Twilight Cir… -
Reading the Yall need some soul up in this mofo thread, I agree with the comments from JUJ and xtrev about how irritating the practice of lumping together rap/hip…

cafreema - "I have a feeling we'll be seeing more and more of that, and I'm not sure what Amie could do to stop it."
Amie St may be inclined to do things differently to emusic, but I found a similar scam at emusic a few years back and th… -
Thanks brighternow, I've listened to the first Sandro Marinoni recording and the The Dirty Three recording, both were worth downloading. Very different types of music, but both will get played at certain times for certain moods/settings.
I've never understood why emu thought it necessary to bribe US members with 'loyalty' bonuses, while at the same time thinking that no one else in the rest of the WORLD WIDE WEB wouldn't appreciate a little top up. We get the same deal at emu, more …Thanks Nanker P for the heads up.selfrisinmojo - thanks for the i.j. smith rec, there's some stuff there that sounds interesting. I also checked out the Soda samples, you're right about sounds coming at you from all directions and that Pig in the Can are not as smooth(production wi…selfrisinmojo - dBpoweramp Music Converter(dMC) is pretty easy to use to convert a reasonable range of audio file formats. You can vary the audio quality as well.Daniel,Esq. - thanks, they both sound good to me, especially the Cedric Brooks, the AMG review captures it well, Hugh Masakela, Fela, Lonnie Liston Smith and Horace Silver influences are definitely there in the samples, all people I've liked for age…amclark2 - thanks for the worldservice link, there's some great stuff on there. So far I've downloaded and enjoyed music from Ali Farka TourI had a big download session the other day when my last refresh happened. I took up some of the recommendations from people here and on other threads on this site, thanks to you, they're worth it.
I've got 12 downloads left. As these may…I vaguely remember being told as a kid that a dog's year, or maybe it was a cat's, was the equivalent of 7 of our years, or something like that.
So, if the internet year/dog year equation is extended to include human years, surely we're …thom - have you tried the IE Tab extension for Firefox to get around how certain sites demand IE on Windows? I've used it for some time and I really can't remember the last time that Firefox with the extension failed to fool sites that it was IE.Using Windows, XP is the example here, open explorer, go to Tools, Folder Options, View, uncheck 'Hide extensions for known file types', check 'Hidden files and folders' under 'Hidden files and folders' . That will show up known file extensions, Win…Thanks xtrev & NankerP for your feedback.
I think I'll sit on the Lusine album for now, listen to the samples a bit more, I must admit that it didn't really grab me as a must download as soon as I heard it. Like a lot of artists thes…
