After listening to the freebie from the new Do Make Say Think (did I get the order right?) I picked up the other 3 tracks. So now I'm down to 4 - thinking thatYeah, but you have to buy the whole thing for free even if you just want the last track... what a rip-off!Just realized I can copy and paste albums from foobar2000 - that makes this just a tad easier!
eMusic:
Choir Of Young Believers - This Is For The White In Your Eyes
Dan Zanes and Friends - Rocket Ship Beach
Lightning Bo…One of my sisters lived deep in the heart of Alabama until a couple months ago. It was an interesting place to visit, but we had to drive about 35-40 minutes to a different county in order to find a Fridays that could serve beer. And that was a rece…Definitely thanks for pointing out the White Denim price drop. Didn't listen to it when it first hit, but after hearing "I Start to Run" decided to check it out. Sounds great!I had that CD at one point, there were 1 or 2 other good songs on it but nothing came close to that hit. Glad I could help.I can only assume you are beginning to suffer from some form of Stockholm syndrome. In this case you begin to embrace the music that holds your ears captive...Lotta good recs here that I would have missed otherwise. I can't believe I actually got the Tosca for free. Also snagged Sugar Billy - cool to hear the original of that Joss Stone cover. Also grabbed stuff from Jodis, The Flys, Ted Gioia, Josh Kelle…I get the idea, but not the execution. Those of you outside of the U.S. might not be getting anything because Lala is the primary source and I'm pretty sure they are U.S. only. Regardless, there doesn't seem to be much of an advantage if you already…They actually refunded money to me when I accidentally purchased an album (I now no longer use the single click purchase option) so I give their customer service high marks.
I never understood how anyone could have problems with their d/…Really interesting to see what a push they are making. They put their back catalog on sale on multiple sites and even get their new album to appear on a site it technically shouldn't be on. It definitely worked for me as I got it all and have been p…I and Love and You just showed up over yonder. That's surprising to say the least.They fixed whatever was wrong, but I was getting the Oops page for 2 or 3 days.
@jonapwll - The daily downloads aren't typically marked as free on the actual album pa…Still have some time to go before the CD dies. They don't project digital sales to equal CD sales worldwide for another 6-7 years.I can't imagine this doing anything but hurting unknown bands. But it could definitely be used by better known bands to promote their release and still prevent people from getting it too cheaply. Although that still seems like way too much work.
I tweeted them about it. They really do have excellent customer service (especially compared to you know who). Haven't even listened to Valley yet, but really like what I've heard off the new one.It was too much when I saw it, too. But I'll check it out on eMu since it's got the 12-np cap.
Currently my 15-month-old's favorite song is "Two Weeks" by Grizzly Bear. I'm trying to raise her as an indiet0t.I miss when the new releases mostly showed up at around 11 EST on Tuesday. Sure I was sometimes busy with work and whatnot, but it didn't feel like I was wasting precious sleep time checking on new releases.
Last night the only reason I …The last couple times there were some big releases expected at midnight and nothing new dropped they didn't show up until around then.It's starting to work now, as everybody realizes that the midnight drops aren't going to happen this week. My guess is that El Perro and Annie will drop around 3 AMI'm still a little steamed because I realized it would cost me like 8 credits to redownload the 2 tracks from NEU!'s debut that I have as V4 encoding. Got Ha…I was wondering that myself. They played them on KEXP the other day and I believe the DJ said The x x. I think you have to use either The Exes or The x-x to avoid any confus…Then they most likely were delivered at the proper bitrate, but eMusic phrased it incorrectly. This is the result of a fairly common misunderstanding of VBR. He mistakenly called it 256kbps VBR, but that setting doesn't actually exist. It is a refer…They asked me to try it during the beta period, but I told them that they already have my preferred download method - purchase then download albums in a zip file when you have time. The only d/ler that I've found is useful for anything more than alb…Daytripper, just wanted to thank you for that Hey Marseilles recommendation. Awesome, awesome album. Really loving just about everything going on with it.Screw it, I got their entire back catalog. I took forever to finally get anything from the Avett Brothers, but I really like everything I hear. Already had Emotionalism, so it cost me something like 30 nps to get everything else. Probably also going…(Quote) Does anyone know this for sure? I'm just curious, because we've operated under a number of assumptions and I wasn't sure if anything like that had been confirmed. From my understanding, they divvy the money up amongst whatever is d/l'd th…Weird, these were mentioned over on their board a couple days ago, but then went back to regular price. Figured it was a mistake. Not gonna miss it again - think I'll load up on their back catalog before I get the new album. Thanks!
I ha…Thanks for posting that Daytripper. Other than Craig and I loving it, what do other people think? Especially with respect to the last 2 or 3 albums.
And anyone else find it amusing that he followed up an album called "Heretic Pride" with…I actually was reading it, but am very behind in my blog reading (and writing). Keep it up, though.
