eMusic to My Ears

There are so many options out there today, for downloading music. There are many free sites out there, however I do not advocate using them. Call me old fashioned but, I feel the artist should get some amount of money for his ART. So when you pay for music there is Walmart, iTunes and others. Of which I use iTunes about 10% of the time for my downloads. But the best place in the world to find great music is eMusic.
eMusic is a subscription service that you can pay for each month. Their prices are all over the place, from $5.99 to like $39.99, just depends how many downloads you want each month. This is where I get the rest of my downloads. I subscribe to the 100 downloads a month for $19.99.
However there is always a down side...eMusic DOES NOT CARRY a lot of what you would find on the radio. They specialize on music that you might find in PASTE MAGAZINE, or the Starbucks Radio Network on XM. eMusic is on the cutting edge and so are their artists. Matter of fact here are some of my downloads from this month:
State Radio-Live
Umphree's McGhee-an eMusic exclusive Live
Barenaked Ladies-Live in London
New Pornographers-Challengers
Walter Trout-His new one, (can't remember the name of it)

If you are interested let me know, and I will send you a link that you can get some bonus downloads from, (and so will I).

Till another time.

New Year, New Website and New Chance to Shine

I really don't do the whole NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS THING. I often find that people who do that, have very little ambition to keep their lives in check and only use the New Year as an excuse. In reality the New Year allows them to do something that they know is not good, just because they will quit in the New Year. "Hey I know smoking is killing me, and my asthma is getting worse. But the New Year is coming and I will quit smoking then."

So I am not gonna sit here and tell you that this year I am going to actually keep this blog going, BECAUSE IT IS THE NEW YEAR. What I am gonna say is, the website has been totally revamped and it continues to get more work done to it. As a part of it, this MUSIC and movie blog will need to be updated more, or just shut down.

So with that said we will see you in the New Year!
