wow, I really (really really really) missed out with the Guvera thing. I think I only managed about 20 tracks. Would have loved to picked up the McCartney and early Floyd stuff, at the very minimum.

Unless they've hired a new technology company to handle the "relaunch", I am expecting the absolute worst. They can't get Tuesday new releases listed in "Freshly Ripped" for days, the message board has been wonkier than usual, and CathyHN has surfa…

I concur on Amazon. They run some good $5 specials quite a bit of the time, and I have never had an issue with a download or with the quality of the track. eMu should be looking closely at how Amazon runs their business. Granted, their margins ar…

I think I've been able to partake in the 75 free to return at least 3 times in the last 12-13 months. Way cheaper than booster crack.

My daughter is a big fan of the show, so it is on constant Tivo rotation here. I caught the St. Vincent tune from last week's show, which I thought was very well used. I think they do a good job of not using the big hits/big name acts all of the t…

I got the email too, haven't pulled the trigger yet. This is at least the 4th disloyalty bonus on that acct in the last couple of years. The last time I got 75 for coming back, cancelled, and got another batch (can't remember how many) for stickin…

I thought Emo was basically Goth without the philosophical heft. -
We're currently rocking hard on Modern Warfare 2 on the 360. Should be available for the PS3. Great gameplay and graphics, and loads of fun online deathmatch style. Assassins Creed 1 & 2 are also really good and very well done.

Dammit, I was helpful to Jill/Ray on another thread...dammit dammit dammit. Back to being a curmudgeon for me.

@Craig--Waits has changed a lot over the last 35 years, so it's difficult to make a suggestion. His noisy, Brechtian era from the early 90's onward is kinda my favorite, an…

I used my 75 freebie offer (had to re-up for a month to use it, I think), used all my credits, then cancelled. They immediately threw a "stay for one more month free" offer at me, so that was 145 credits for the price of 35. No complaining here.

[In Champaign, well, I can't remember the name of the place, but it was also a garden/greenhouse center located on the edge of town and bordering one of the forest preserves;]
Prairie Gardens, I think, out on West Springfield Avenue? I … -
2 on emu, 2 on pitchfork, and I've gotta say that the one that I have on both lists (Grizzly Bear) I'm not that fond of.
Speakin' of Neko, did anyone see her on this week's "Spectacle"? She got over-shadowed by the already over-hyped Sh… -
I fell into the 7digital quicksand last night and just emerged. Got all my missing Stones albums (between Ya-ya's and Steel Wheels), filled in some Tom Waits, Stevie Wonder, Cash, Elvis Costello, GNR, Townshend/Who, wow, wow, wow, wow. It will tak…

I looked into brewing my own beer for a while, more for the creative part of it than anything else. When I realized that, even excluding trial and error, a pint of home-brew was going to cost me about 3x what I would pay a the liquor store for real…
-
@Muggsy--Atlanta is still the same. You can't buy a sixer of beer on Sunday to take home and watch the game, but you can go to a strip club and get tanked out of your mi…

a douche?
Sorry that was too much. But I'm still going to post it... -
I had AT&T DSL for several years, started at 3mbs and upgraded to 6 at one point. 3mbs was just OK, 6 kicked tail. IIRC there wasn't an extraordinary difference in cost, and it was more than justified by the increased productivity my wife has …

In my case the plucking occurs after the hammering.

Festivus!! For the rest of us.

@Plong--If I understand the releases correctly, the only source for the mono mixes is the box set. The individual CDs are the stereo mixes.
-
The Dylan comp has been taken down.
Another thing I've noticed is that Amie appears to only have 1 version of albums that eMu had multiples of. It's hard to tell for certain if they are the remasters, explicits, etc., so one type of con… -
$7.99.
For anyone who missed the 52 track Dylan comp for 12 credits at eMu, it's $9.99 on Amie. Get it before they realized they screwed the pooch. -
It looks like Sony's stuff on Amie includes more current releases and not just back catalog. The Ting Ting's album from last year is already available there and it is not on eMu.

We've got that Wii music game, and I think it can add a lot to a non-musician's exploration of music. A lot of rhythm, relative pitch, etc. kind of stuff in there.
I thought I had posted yesterday but must have hit the wrong butt… -
Listening to it right now--while it's not bad, it doesn't have the immediacy of some of his earlier stuff. In other words, it doesn't make me want to go out, get drunk, get in a fight, and wake up the next morning in someone's hedge.

"how do you tell someone "i'd come back if you had been honest with us"? "
That's exactly what I said (almost word for word) when I got that survey on a secondary account that I closed in June as well. -
@b68z--Sirius has an option to listen online at a low-ish bitrate if you have a radio subscription, hi…
