I really wanted to like it. The first single had promise. But after, what, 4 great pop album he was due for a dud.

P4k's write-up of "Round and Round" really summarizes why I just can't get into them and those "hazy, half-remembered yada yada" bands frustrate the hell out of me. That chorus is so magnificent, just so absolutely perfect, that I spend the rest of …

I saw Donovan a few years back. Brilliant fucking show. Actually videotaped it from a hidden position in the balcony. Gotta dig that out and check the quality - maybe post it if people are interested.

Really thought he was being sarcastic or ironic at first, then I realized he really was trying to use that as an argument. Maybe he works for EMI and is still in denial?

Wow, you never listened to that one? I'm shocked, because it's the first one I knew about (they kept playing a couple tracks on KEXP and I was waiting and waiting for it to hit eMu).

I'm such an album person that putting together lists of songs is baffling to me. But playlists based on what I have of other people's top song lists sounds like a good idea.
While I'm trying to take in all of these lists with the underst… -
@elwoodicious - Holy carp, did you read the comment by Darryl on that first link? His response was that if the music industry was failing then we would see layoffs, bankrupt…

Damn, makes me wish I was more into classical music. Looks like the kind of site I would happily get behind.

Bonus points for using the word "monies". It's important that we keep that alive.

I've been tempted by that Aloe Blacc release. To be fair, I think it's very recent and hasn't had a lot of press if you don't follow Stones Throw.
I gotta agree with Kenny on the Mumford & Sons - and not just because I opted not to b… -
Same here. New channel, no credits, first time I've checked in awhile.
Guvera, why hast thou forsaken us? -
The only reason I never tried Magnatune in the past was some confusion over whether or not you could really d/l anything/everything for 15 bucks. Then I forgot about it.
Seems like it might be a good time to check it out soon since I won… -
@Daniel - You should check out the rest of that site. They get a ridiculous amount of well known and unknown bands coming through there. The funny thing was that session was tweet…

Since I whiffed on Beggars, I'm thinking that maybe I'll just pick up the London Singles comp. It's only $6.99 over there. Thinking that might complement my copies of Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, and Exile. Any thoughts on how that one stacks up?I asked my wife. She's quite a Beatles fan, largely through her father. Being a little older than me, she actually remember being aware of what was going on and seeing the news reports on TV, etc.
Like some of you, it's a little strange …I thought that's what you might have meant, which is why I tossed out the "coporate standpoint" bit. Of course that makes it sound even more lame...
But once the majors started coming, it was a little surprising at how little Sony really…
It's difficult to explain why I love this album so much.Ah, blue jays - nature's little asshole.
Definitely beautiful birds. This winter I will miss taking pictures of them perched in all of the brush that used to suffocate my backyard. But they are some of the nastiest birds out there - alwa…EMI was probably my favorite from a corporate standpoint. They had truly begun to embrace the changes that digital distribution and cross-media competition were bringing. They lowered prices on CDs and did not pursue DRM. Unfortunately, as that arti…@jonah - I was thinking that was some sort of commentary on your short attention span or something...
My only problem with NewsRadio on DVD is the lack of features - sp…I can't remember which song it was now, but the first one they played that started with Neko gave me chills. I remember having a similar reaction when I first played Fox Confessor. Should pick up her older ones, too. She also had some of the funnies…Wish I had samples to give you guys, but some of my favorite covers have been in live shows. In the same show Ben Kweller started his set with a cover of "Ice Ice Baby", Ben Lee topped him with a sweet rendition of "The Rainbow Connection" and ended…@amclark2 - It's just that I've got 32 albums for my top 20 and every time I go to say "Not that one" I listen again and say "How could it not be?"
in What are you listening to now? (part 2) Comment by thomnottom December 2010I had plenty of time to get some Stones, so I shouldn't complain, but it's a little annoying that Beggars Banquet went up to 5 bucks while most of the rest stayed at 3. I have it on vinyl, so it's not a big deal. But why?
