It's good. -
He deleted the meta-spoilers after my comment.

cafreema, you should know better than to post meta-spoilers like that for those that haven't gotten that far (not me, but others)!

So, 5+ months in, Germanprof, how's the system?

bn, glad that you like Synthetica so much. denver, if you're unfamiliar with Garbage, check out their first two albums: Garbage and Version 2.0. Both 90s pop-synth-punk-indie classics.
For those longtime fans of Gar… -
Love that Lou Reed cameo.

Thanks for that Sansom pointer, bn, I'm familiar with all but Sansom. Butcher's a particular favorite. I've presented Butcher several times, and the Butcher/Davies duo once.

I saw cafreema mention it, but no one else (though I may have missed it), but I am digging the shit out of the new Metric album Synthetica. Enough to buy the cd (cheap!), which, with pop stuff, generally only do with my favorite bands. I find…

I and my kids love that book, Nereffid. It's absolutely essential, though, that you know the tune "Night In Tunisia" and read it by singing the words to the tune.

I can't recall the order of major events in ASOS - does it have the initials "R.W."?

heh, Gp, just do you know, everyone and their dog read your comment and through you were talking about cell phone music app interfaces.

Aesop Rock's brand new Skelethon is $3.99.

Ah, ok. If you dislike your particular phone as a playback device, ok - but you said "I don't see why anyone would want to use a cell phone as their music device". I'd guess most contemporary phone models mimic contemporary portable mp3 players qu…

"a cell phone as their music device"? I'm not sure what that means. A cell phone these days works quite well as a portable music player in general. Am I missing some context for a program that uses only a cell phone for the source of all listenin…

BT, almost certainly, since it's very difficult to zero out a rolling balance. Most of my account's time is spent in the <$0.49 range (now, it's at $0.26).

Btw, I'm a "loyal customer" of emusic (annual since 2006), and I didn't receive any recent $10 bonus. Just noting.

I was annoyed when I missed the last voucher, so immediately used this one to buy this great record: John Hollenbeck's in Amazon Daily mp3 Download Deals Comment by kargatron July 2012

I can appreciate that, Gp. Living "domestic", i have arbitary access to rdio at home and work if I wish, so can use it as a testing ground for an arbitrary amount of time if I want. I use it maybe 20-30% of my listening day.
Anyway, le… -
Gp: (Quote) Oh my, no - I've gone on and on about the endowment effect in the past, and buy plenty myself. No, I was focusing on the idea of "seeing what (you're) missing" - to me, streaming very obviously fills that function so well that the ide…

Gp: (Quote) Schew! You get to see what you're missing without having to stream them from an easily accessible free or cheap service. What a relief!
Ha. I know Jason Bivins (and have presented him in concert), and he's the one that introduced me to Tomas Phillips (and iirc, I introduced Phillips to you, bn, though I'm not sure). Funny. Obviously I'll be checking this out!I'm pretty sure I'd pay $3 to keep 10,009 additional classical tracks out of my library.The best (apocryphal?) story about that album is that "Giant Steps" is in a fast 2/2, and the great pianist Tommy Flanagan came into the date expecting it to be in 4/4, only half as fast as Trane's tempo.Give it up to Mark Mothersbaugh for much of Rushmore.Even owning an iPhone, there's reason I still use my ipod nano:
- the iPhone's smart playlists still don't live-update - no idea why, it's a blatant bug
- no album shuffle on the iPhone
I use both in my listening, so t…

(Quote)New release on Sunnyside: Guillermo Klein y Los Guachos - CarreraA strong finish, imo. That 8-bit ep was amazing. (Though, to be honest, I can't tell what aesthetic connotations you have in mind with "ridiculosity" - could swing either way.)
