I'm not familiar w/ Mixcloud. Soundcloud certainly has grown and branched out since last I took a look at it. Monetizing my OoO so far is a cart-before-the-horse question, since we're very much still building a small audience. Also tiptoeing arou…

Experimental 3ish: Over 25 albums from a long backlog
There’s so much experimental music that no one will ever care about or listen to. Nothing works better to reset one’s ears to appreciate your favorite music like interspersing some che…

Lenine offers a lot to catch up on, and I'll make an exception to distrust of live albums if they're 99 cents. Looks like a good haul, and I still consider the lengthy browsing time part of the thrill of the chase. Sticking w/ the interesting labe…

I've sampled Important & Cassauna but found them just OK in terms of wanting to listen to what I've downloaded more than a few times. I've added NAAFI and Morphine to the high priority tier for exploration. Thanks for highlighting them. Sorry…

Rhésus O was a little jazzier than I'd normally have listened to ten years ago, definitely interesting!

Just listened and enjoyed Panta Rei. Nice and playful.

Very Alternative Rock 2
Might there come a day when rock music is just as unpopular as jazz? I saw a Reddit post the other day claiming that rock was “making a comeback” b/c some singles were on the Billboard charts, and I … -

Jazz on eMusic (& Bandcamp) vol. 5ish
Let’s visit once again what most listeners don’t care about and what serious ones don’t deign to entertain…obscure jazz albums on eMusic!
I’ve considered being obnoxious to my streaming friend…

Thanks for these additions! I'll check them out and wishlist appropriately. Hello Seahorse was definitely one I hesitated on buying after sampling, but after hearing a couple full albums I've come to appreciate a lot.

More Synth-Pop w/ Female Vocals (on eMusic & Bandcamp)
Ladies singing over synthesizers may not be the most original combo anymore, but they remain among the most appealing to me.
In approximate order of how much I like them, thou…

The StreetVoice links above will obviously have to start somewhere other than eMusic now. A more important update: a grad school classmate of mine just made an hourlong documentary on the history of jazz in Asia available to stream. Check it out!…

Listening to Sandrose now…the vocalist is a bit yelpy, but there’s definitely a lot going on with it musically…I definitely prefer the instrumental passages.
Among the oldest on my list to feature eventually as “album picks” for my podcast …

Great start to a thread…both “No Alternative” and “Alone, Alone” are just as you described, and I would never have stumbled upon them otherwise. I’m all ears for these kinds of suggestions, trusting your tastes and the forum itself.

“574” - Tethys (2014). For sheer variety but also coherence between tracks, I haven’t heard a lot of albums lately that can compare w/ Tethys. Some find a …

OoO got to know @idiotprogrammer in the first of what I hope to be a series of "Profiles in Music Exploration," and we hope to feature his album pick in a formal episode …

I like the concepts of lean back Vs. lean in listeners and will be borrowing it in future posts. Your math looks good on cyberpaper, too, and I've argued for the extreme of paying just a dollar being better elsewhere. I think the problem remains t…

Buying less music would be OK if it meant appreciating the less more deeply, but I think I mostly just crave more new sounds. It'd be great if the massive staff at Bandcamp would give us some data or better yet charts on whether flash sales or swit…

More Post-Rock & Instrumental Rock I Like (on eMusic & Bandcamp):
A busy new semester of teaching has me backlogged in several categories, but probably none more than these.

Impressed as ever by your broad vigilance, and I share your appreciation of Bluetech. I probably listened to Prima Materia most but also like Sines and Singularities. The guy's so prolific it's been well nigh impossible to keep up with all he's don…

This thread is truly a 21st century historical document.

Semi-Experimental Electronica Albums & EPs (on eMusic & Bandcamp)Over the years, much of what I’ve bought and enjoyed has been electronic music that isn’t quite full-on experimental (i.e. there may be a consistent …

@yarjazz Thanks, and I'll prune the list according to your notes eventually. I'd be very interested in someone dividing all the jazz labels on Bandcamp into tiers of quality sim…

One more quibble after buying seven albums for this BCF on a NYP basis (which I DO very much appreciate)…I think I mentioned in the OP, but unfollowing after each purchase (Account settings allows control of email messages, but I see no way to re…

My main quarrel is far less with how people explore new music, as long as they do somehow (i.e. on this forum), than w/ the many more who stop after a certain age and then only listen to what they already know/like out of nostalgia, and then only…
