Why eMusic? WHY?
Alight, I can understand the first one on the list, but the second one? Visualize if you will, me killing some time, logging into my eMusic account and seeing _that_. Remember the sound Scooby Doo made when he didn't understand… or comprehend?

iTunes Genius Playlist » Feeling Yourself Disintegrate
I wouldn't mix this myself, that's for sure.
...scott4 years later, a feature request has been fulfilled...
Of course, at the time, I wanted it so one could navigate one's music without looking at the iPod while it was safely tucked away in a pocket somewhere. Semantics.
Is a bonus track worth the cost of DRM? (revisited...)
Could this be the sound of the other shoe dropping?
Is a bonus track worth the cost of DRM?
The iTunes "Exclusive Edition" of White Chalk contains "Wait" as an extra, while:
the same record(s) from Amazon's new "MP3 Downloads" does not for the same (overall) price, less the DRM and what's more, a higher overall bit rate, which should mean higher quality. While my ears are aged and slightly damaged, my brain knows that there's an incentive in purchasing DRM-free content, even if it means losing a song in the process. When will the industry learn the valuable lesson that treating your customers like suspects does not foster brand loyalty. I hope the Radiohead experiment is a smashing success. And I also hope the all of those execs in their big offices in those big buildings of steel and glass know what time it is... When I can purchase art directly from the artist, the middleman loses. And that's not a bad thing.
New stuff, as in music....
It seems that I go through these periods where there's nothing for me on the music landscape. When that happens I usually hunker down with my usual suspects and practice my thousand yard stare, looking, or listening as the case may be, at the horizon. And then, when I least expect it, something new pops up and totally takes over. The strange thing is that this seems to happen on a fairly regular interval. So, does that mean that i have a musical equivalent of a sun spot cycle? The difficult part is when the sharing part comes in. I hesitate to tell anyone about my new musical discovery. I keep it hidden away to myself, like a miser hoarding their gold. But there's a reason for that. I think it's a jinx of sorts. If I share said discoveries with friends, something terrible happens. The band breaks up, or worse. Then there's no more new stuff and I'm back to my thousand yard stare. And I definitely prefer the foreground to the background, although, the background seems to always be where it's at...
Album of the Weekend?
And another...
From the exquisite "Bubblegum" -- Strange Religion.
That, and the track before it makes one pause for a moment. Nice.
Song of the day...
If You Were the Woman and I Was the Man. The Black Eyed Man version...
