I meant mainly because you can listen to any CD they have and they tend to carry a lot of the kinds of bands that we discuss here. I know I've been at off-peak so they'd let me take 6 or 7 CDs into the listening room and stay there for over an hour. None of this 30-second-samples-of-mainstream-stuff-on-a-tiny-comuter-with-an-uncomfortable-chair crap

And there's a 10% discount if you have a recent movie stub from the Uptown.

Ah, that sounds interesting. Just what I wanted.  A good project for when I'm unemployed again.

I'm not a fan. I got one album from eMusic but only liked one song, and when I saw them open for NP they really weren't all that great. But I really wanted to like them because hey, Dan Bejar.

if the one album you heard was either "this night" or "your blues", you should probably check out either "thief" or "streethawk" before giving up entirely

or, whatever

I just bought the Talking Heads Brick boxed set- all 8 studio albums, remastered, on DualDiscs- DVD video on the non-CD side. And I got it for a cool $40 off; thanks, Barnes & Nobles Employee Appreciation Week!

OK, so is it worth it?  I mean, buying the Talking Heads albums I have again so I can get the new mix?

I mean, I did it, but that was also because I had never bought a Talking Heads album un-used- I figured that it was time for me to hit the kitty. In regards to the mix, I mean...I'm no audiophile, and maybe it's just my brain playing tricks on me, but the new mix sounds really good. For just one instance- I had never noticed that bird sounds in "Love -> Building on Fire" before. The new mix is really clear and has a really great range.
A++ WOULD BUY AGAIN

Yeah, that's the tough thing with these new mixes/masters coming out for just about every band that recorded before 1993.  It sounds good, but I can't really tell for sure, as my ear isn't that well-trained.  I do know that the Rolling Stone re-master series made a big difference, but that was partially because there had been a big mistake in mastering the first round of CDs.

Anyway, I may just buy them separately.  I only own the first five, and can't really get into much after Speaking in Tongues.

What album/s have you heard?  I haven't heard the most recent, but have heard just about everything up until it.  Favorite two are Golden Band and Know by Heart.

I bought a John Peel collection off of eBay-
6 DVDs containing 264 Radio One shows. 1 DVD with 20 Finnish Radio Mafia shows. 3 DVDs with 7 TV appearances. 1 CD with radio tributes. It's like 540 HOURS of music, not counting the TV stuff. I paid a dollar per ten hours of music.
Everything is awesome.

EDIT- Not only does the set come with everything seen above, but for some reason the maker decided to fill the extra space on one of the discs with a bunch of Bonnie "Prince" Billy albums. I'm almost certain this was made specifically for me.

The new Belle and Sebastian got a glowing review over at Pitchfork.  They are a band that seems interesting to me, but i've never actually heard other than one cut off of someone's mix tape from last year (or was it the year before?).  I would like to hear your opinion of Belle and Sebastian and their new album.  Jough, you're a big fan aren't you?
