I can't decide whether to be glad or sorry that I started this.

On a semi-related note I've been trying to get into Tom Waits lately, I got hooked listening to 'the piano has been drinking' and from there chocolate jesus and innocent when you dream have been looping on youtube for me. Any tips for a good starting point on the fellow? I was thinking I'd try pick up Small Change from somewhere (is there a CD version? I'm fairly sure I saw it on itunes anyway). From what I've heard so far I think I'm more into his bar room bluesy stuff than his more industrial stuff (which I think I'll come around to, just need to ease myself in).

I don't know exactly what you mean by his industrial stuff, but I think Small Change is a good start. If you want to get a bit weirder you could move on to Swordgiraffetrombones, then Rain Dogs and finally Frank's Wild Years (which has Innocent When You Dream--two versions!). Not necessarily in that order I guess, that's just chronological. I like just about everything he's released, but tend to prefer that period, and a few albums from this and the last decade. Whatever you do, don't miss him if he ever plays in your part of the world. I saw him in El Paso last year, and I probably say this after a lot of concerts, but it was the best show I've ever seen. The man can entertain.

Waits ACL performance is amazing.

Also, Swordgiraffetrombones.  Yeah.

I guess by industrial I was thinking of his stuff like Rain Dog, which I like but it's about as non-melodical as I am willing to get at the moment, if that description makes sense? I just need to like him more as an artist before I'm trusting enough to let something like that soak into my brain.

So yeah, I guess Small Change it is. I'll add it to the list of things I'm going to buy after my exam next week. Also on the list: DvDs for Primer and Brick, and the no longer new Scott Pilgrim. There was also a non-comic book but I can't remember just now.

eMusic just announced a new deal with Sony. They can now sell any Sony song that was released 2+ years ago. Maybe I'll finally get me a copy of London Calling.

That's potentially exciting.  When's the Sony stuff going to be available?

ANOTHER Okkervil River album?  Them boys is prolific.  And yet I will download it like a chump.  I wonder if it has any songs using sailing the seas as a metaphor for touring.
Correction:  not a new album, but an old one I don't have displayed on the front page as if it's new.  Urp.

Answering my own question:  the Sony stuff comes on-line July 11.

HOWEVER, they're also cutting my monthly downloads from 50 to 30, at the same price.
BOO TO THAT

For me it looks like they're dropping raising the price of my plan by $98 $74* and cutting my monthly tracks from 65 to 35. It kicks in next August. But I'm about to e-mail customer service because I just happen to have saved an e-mail that says "Your selected plan will be guaranteed as long as you keep your account active and in good standing."

*I didn't notice at first that the price quoted was only for 1 year since I'm currently on a 2-year plan.

Well they replied with a form letter that made no mention of the guarantee or the fact that they're reneging on it. I know that their plans are still half the cost of iTunes or Amazon but maybe they shouldn't have used then word "guarantee" before.

So I might be late on the bandwagon for this one but I've been listening to Who Killed Amanda Palmer over and over again these last couple of days and I love the hell out of it. I'd been vaguely aware of the Dresden Dolls but never really examined them, weirdly I found about her through Neil Gaiman's blog. Anyway, yeah, awesome album. I think I'm going to institute a new rule about buying anything that Ben Folds produces.

I've heard of them. Any good?

I don't know if this subject has its own thread or not, but Prince is a better artist than Michael Jackson.
