My being a dick about TGAoW notwithstanding, you're right. And it's not just that there's a regular and deluxe version. Sometimes there's more than one version of the same release, sometimes just because there's a new catalog numbe… -
Germanprof, you write re: the deluxe reissue ofThe Golden Age of Wireless, "the extra tracks are added filler so getting more may not represent a bargain."
This is one of my favorite albums of all time, so I know more about it than is se… -
Only showing up to the Cockburn part of the thread 4 months late, which is pretty good for me. I used the last credits on my main account - closed after 8 years! - to finish up my Cockburn collection, which actually started with the first album in 1…

Just found that Bluish is streaming at Stanko's MySpace page.

You can obviously pick your favorite artists and search the usual ways, but I'm only going to include albums that I downloaded from emu and LIKE. (I've downloaded plenty of losers from artists I love of course.) I'm also leaving out guys like Paul M…

I guess you mean around in the UK, because I WAS around in the US, and found the ALBUMS confusing. Similar covers, all that R&B stuff - I couldn't figure out why anybody would choose one over the other. (I'm only just now start… -
I dunno, I think Rolling Stone is a lot better than it was a few years ago. More than worth a buck, for sure. That said, they don't make it easy to remember how much this magazine changed the world. Heck, in some ways it CREATED the world for a few …

I'd forgotten how impressed I was with the Yo La Tengo performance in that Gilmores clip. That may be my favorite. Three acoustic guitars pulling off that classic YLT drone. Although the mayor telling Kim G., "You there! Stop jumping! There's no jum…

A bunch more showed up -- Sticky Fingers (get it if you don't have it), and a bunch I was only vaguely familiar with. I'm liking Some Girls more than I thought I would, and Emotional Rescue and Black and Blue may not be as shitty as I thought. The j…

I may be in the minority, but I've been listening to virtually nothing but Pat Metheny for days now, mostly on ECM, with records from iTunes, Amazon, my own CD rips and emu mixed together, and it's all good. It's ridiculous to say "and I used to be …

Grant Lee Phillips played the role of the troubadour in 19 episodes. (I thought it was more until I just looked it up, but that still winds up being 3-4 times a season.) One of the running gags was how much the mayor hated him and tried to get rid o…

Certainly agreed that "Working Girls" redeems almost the entire history of popular music that needs redeeming. (All is forgiven, Britney! Please come home!) Too bad it wasn't actually popular. Great video though - taking Death for pie. the Grim Reap…

Okay, I'm trying to make a clever post, but am falling on the wrong side of the fine line between clever and stupid. How do I embed images? Can I embed YouTube? I know that some flavors of BBCode allow it, with things like [video] and [yt], but I ha…

The theme song was unbearable to me. Thank godz for DVRs. Fortunately, they stopped using the song for season 4, which rawked. I had stopped watching midway through 3, but was persuaded to try again...and am glad I did. Season 5 wa… -
If you don't have much Stones, Made In The Shade is a fantastic comp to start with. I picked up a ton of Stones stuff when they …

They didn't see a dime off those songs the first time 'round, and still don't get any royalties from the original releases. If you care ANYTHING about Go4, and have any affection at all for those first few records, this is your cha… -
A BUNCH more ECM just dropped. I'll dig in a little deeper soon, but two of the label's truly iconic recordings are now available, starting with Ralph Towner's in ECM you should be buying on Emu Comment by tim November 2010

Which for jazz is HEINOUS. A lot of jazz musicians do their best work on other people's records. One of my very favorite pianists is Rainer Bruninghaus, who has done almost nothing as a leader. I'm not a huge Jan Garbarek fan, but … -
1) You can TOTALLY tell the difference with Blu-ray, not just for the pictures, but for some slick navigation features, more helpful and MUCH faster menus, better graphics, etc. With players going for WELL under $100 (I bought one for $73 last year;…

Agreed. I just came across one today though - kind of trip-hoppy trumpet: Khmer by Nils Petter Molvaer. I haven't downloa… -
Rockford freaking RULES. There was some talk of getting Josh Holloway (Sawyer on Lost) to play Rockford in an update of the series. If you're going to do the series, Josh is the guy to get. But please don't do the series. James Garner is the MAN.It's allllll about the terms. Not to poke a stick into the major labels at emu beehive, but as one example, you have early Aerosmith at emu, but NOT at iTunes. I'd have never guessed this in a million years, but there you go.
And while t…I'm so glad you brought these guys up! I admit I've been trying to find an only mildly obnoxious way to bring up that there's still a TON of great indie music at emu, for much lower than you can find it anywhere else, and I was going to use these gu…"Someone on that Cheap ECM thread suggested the Walcott-Elvoison "Dawn Dance", which I just downloaded and fully enjoyed my first listen to."
I recommended it there. in ECM you should be buying on Emu Comment by tim November 2010Jonah, you said: "anytime Oregon or Oregon-related musicians cover the song Icarus, it's always a winner. The Winter Consort comes to mind, but then there've been other covers of it, too."
Yeah, one night I played nothing but Icarus cove…Agreed on Endless Days - one of the most gorgeous albums by anyone, and most certainly one of the tippy-top highlights at ECM.
I like Weber a lot, with two dozen or more records of his both as leader and sideman. A highlight as sideman, …I can't figger out how to do a block quote here, so here's a block of quote:

The term "post-rock" is believed to have been coined by critic Simon Reynolds in his review of Bark Psychosis' album Hex, published in the Marc…Wow, what a great list, thanks! Following some links out beyond that list, one tasty find is a 20-track <href='http://www.emusic.com/album/Keith-Jarrett-Foundations-The-Keith-Jarrett-Anthology-MP3-Download/11747377.html'>Keith Jarrett antholog…I saw Vickie's post, and Cathy's too - both say that the "tracks" will add to an existing account.
