choice, you can of course also combine those lists with a new playlist, effectively mixing them when desired. Sometimes I'll limit a smart playlist to N tracks, and then play in album shuffle mode, which plays random subsets of albums, which is a n…

It sounds like you're not going about your goals as efficiently as possible, but it's hard to tell exactly what you're doing. Generally, "cycle out" is done by "last-played < N days" (or whatever), and "cycle in" by "last-played > N wks/mos" …

Fans of experimental music will probably like grabbing the ihatemusic 2009 compilation, from members of the ihatemusic forum<…

Funny, just this morning I pulled that record up by happenstance when browsing this thread (on a board dominated mostly by serious, critical discuss…

(Quote) I'd just grab three or so from Shamokin!!!, picked based on how the samples sound to you (the first three woul…

I would call Dixon's discography "deep but not dense" myself (as it extends over 4 decades), but that's besides the point. I'm familiar with almost eve…
-
BT, I'm curious do you say that being familiar with Dixon's other work over the years? I can't tell whether you think it fares poorly relative to his other stuff, or that perhaps you don't like his music much.
-
(Quote) Interesting, I think it stands very well within his oeuvre - excellent, I'd say.

If you want to manually control everything on your ipod, it's completely available in an auto-sync by syncing one dumb playlist, whose contents you manage as you wish. That mimics manual ipod control, but allows playcount metadata to be tracked. M…
-
Most people's libs are bigger than their ipod (and in fact, smart playlists are a great way to subset your collection on your ipod), but since you can always manually manage a dumb playlist that you would then automatically sync to your ipod, I fail…
-
I can think of only one reason to manually manage an ipod - if you don't want your ipod listening to be updated in your iTunes library. (That applies to my wife's ipod and my lib, but it strikes me as a likely exotic circumstance.) If that doesn't…
-
Those who scrobble from ipods will only update last.fm on sync, so days can easily pass where a last.fm page will remain static. I only sync my ipod every few days.
-
Christmas new user influx, most likely.
-
I use last.fm primarily as a public interface to my listening stats. It's also useful for 'is like XYZ' queries, and streaming results of same (say, listen to artists like Allman Brothers, or 'free jazz', etc). You don't have to listen to last.fm …

I don't understand the Interoceans credit thing - but I logged out, and still see '3 credits'. I'm in the US tho. Curious what others in the US see.
brighternow, I'm betting you would really like that Maybe Monday album. -
What about I Heart Lung's Interoceans? That seems to be only 3 credits for 4 tracks, oddly.
Another good one is Maybe Monday's … -
Seems to me that description could apply to a non-mainstream jazz gig from any time in the last 40 years, JUJ. There is no "new thing" in jazz - at best, it was a label ascribed to the burgeoning free jazz movement almost half a century ago.

BT, a couple you haven't grabbed that I'd recommend offhand are Hank Roberts/Marc Ducret/Jim Black - Green (14 cr) or in Last Call at eMusic Comment by kargatron December 2009

(Quote) I just didn't have time to shop, given the lack of easy searching for $2 albums. Stuff like this makes me regret that - woulda snapped that up! I'm sure there was lots of I would've grabbed if I'd found the time. Oh well!

Best part is that it's turning into great usable press for Larry, I love that.

(Quote) That's my (current) feeling about Burial's Untrue.

amclark2, listen to songs #2 ("Letter From an Occupant") and #4 ("The Bleeding Heart Show") at http://www.lala.com/#artist/The_New_Pornographers - I'd say those should an…

The Jazz Recommendation Thread I started at emusic certainly qualifies for thom's request; most suggestions are more or less contemporary releases, a few …

(Quote) That was my first thought when I scanned the list, with such an obvious limited label focus.
-
I started month #2 at emu's forum, following ColtraneWasGod's suggestion for Fresh Sounds Records.
-
Today's Florence & the Machines sounds pretty good, something to sample if you like, say, Heartless Bastards and St. Vincent.
-
Daniel, that's why I said it was probably the best value (I didn't mean to imply that everything there was album priced, just that the bulk of it suffered from it). Lala apears to have very little, but it does have that Big Satan disc and in Pitchfork Top 200 Albums of 2000 Comment by kargatron December 2009

(Quote) What an odd pairing here - those two albums have nothing to do with each other.
Btw DanielEsq, if you're looking for "evidence" against your previously stated position, Tim Berne is my personal choice for argument against. Un… -
(Quote) Sure, because emusic's stupid pricing implementation doesn't allow for variable per-track prices. Instead the label can specify total album cost with album-only tracks within. eMusic didn't need to put in such a policy, but they did, an…
