I'm sorta kicking myself for not picking up the Warren Zevon and James Taylor deals earlier this week. Sure, their greatest hits are in my collection, but I like having the actual albums.

Yeah, I almost flipped when I saw that cover. The sample sounded great. The only song I skipped was "Busting Up a Starbucks" because it's on Haughty Melodic. Unfortunately Half Smofe cuts out a lot of material from the full Smofe + …

eMusic Selects?

I don't think any of the RED stuff is coming in free. I'm pretty sure it all starts at 15 cents. The only time I've seen any of it listed as free was when their server was shitting bricks.
Still some good deals going on, but it was real … -
Wow, I can't believe just how screwed up things are over there. It took me 20 minutes to buy The Gambler EP from Mike Doughty - and that wasn't a freebie. I had to keep trying to buy each track 3 or 4 times before it would go through. The new releas…

The site is totally screwed up. I tried for 2 freebies, said they were now paid, I opted not to and refreshed. Several minutes later they were still being listed as free.
Holy carp - I can't get anything to go through. It takes 5 minutes… -
I added another 10 bucks when the White Rabbits showed up. Not to be greedy or anything, but if they gave this to me free, I would accept it. Expecting me to…

Unfortunately I'm down to $1.34 over there, and haven't caught anything free today. Wish I had added more during the last 50% sale.

@Craig - I watch SYTYCD, too. I also happened to snag that and another Blue Foundation album without even realizing they had been on the show. I enjoyed the samples.

hmm...I'm a little surprised that your library doesn't at least have Time Out or Getz/Gilberto. Definitely recommend they pick those up. That Charlie Hunter/Bobby Previte album probably isn't the best intro. I think it's freakin' brilliant, …Currently Kind of Blue by you know who. It's time I revisit my jazz collection from when I tried to be cool in college.
Damn is it a fine album.Some Björk, maybe. But I would hardly consider Debut or Post to be such. They're practically dance/pop albums. But I agree that intent would be a big part of labeling anyone artcore - ideally they would have no discernible sense of hum…This cover kept appearing in the MYL over yonder:
For some reason it really bugs the hell out of me. Completely devoid of any sexualit…A Band That Escapes Me - now that's a great name!
One of my sisters was gushing about Arcade Fire a couple years back saying that they were the best new band and she loved their songs even if they were basically ripping off Springsteen..…I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to jazz, too, but have greatly expanded my collection in the last year or so. Here's a list of some of my favorites:
Billy Harper - Black Saint
Charlie Hunter & Bobby Previte - Come I…Personally I've been hoping that this site continues to expand its discussions of music in all realms. Since more and more of the "regulars" will be leaving eMusic in the coming months, this forum would die off rather quickly if it focused only ther…Doh! Somehow in your links I missed the one to the video. It worked, my brain didn't...mommio, don't worry, I'm already a Cash fan. Just never bothered getting At Folsom Prison. I need to pick up the other American Recordings, because I have IV and think it's amazing. Outside of that I'm limited to The Essential Johnn…Taking my newly d/led copy of At Folsom Prison (Legacy Edition) for a spin. Wow. I've been missing out.Uh-oh, now I'm going to have to be totally honest. I have very little knowledge of The Dead. But they're kind of like Rush to me - huge devoted following that is easy to make fun of. You could send me 20 live shows of The Dead and I could fall in lo…I could totally be wrong about the "ick" comment, but it came across to me as a random passerby wanting to interject that someone had bad musical taste and shouldn't be listened to. It's also one of the only comments that "confirms" a certain someon…I say it's Fillipo's in Hoboken (the one on Washington St). My wife swears by Joe and Pat's on Staten Island.
And I'm definitely not the one who said "ick." I cringed at that response knowing full well it was juvenile.@thirstyear - Anything that people use to define themselves becomes an opportunity for an attack. Probably not on the Internet as much, but living in the NYC area I've definit…Come on, if you really want to start a fight, say something that'll really goad the deadheads. Something like...
Didn't they do that "Touch of Grey" song? That was pretty cool. I didn't realize they did anything else...@elwoodicious - That was a tragic loss. I've listened to Sao Paolo Confessions so many times, and it always bothers me that I'll never hear a follow-up.
