Comment:
A selection of songs downloaded recently from iTunes.Feedback:
is that good ? Itunes ?
Damn fine!
I think iTunes is a useful, more-or-less reasonably priced way to sample new artists and get that one song you want from a soundtrack, without some of the problems (and guilt) associated with p2p sharing.
At the risk of turning this into a big Apple commercial, iTunes really is that good! And this mix is excellent - I'm really liking Freakwater at the moment, and the Old 97's and Richard Thompson are great too.
Lots of great picks. Blue Rodeo, Earle/Ringenberg, Waco Bros, Pernice Bros, Freakwater and that great Richard Thompson tune. I just saw him perform that song in a club last month. Wonderful. Now about iTunes... it's certainly better than the p2p stealing but I really worry about the demise of the album package when all one is after is the one song. What will happen to the album as a set of songs carefully selected to go together in a certain order and the associated graphics?
The form of the album has survived similar competition in the past; if anything, the album form seemed to reach its peak as an alternative to "one song" 45's. Perhaps more artists will once again pay more careful attention to the complete album package to compete with single song downloading.
Lovely.
This looks really nice - I especially like the Old Crow and the Malcom Holcomb.
Isn't The Idiot Boy great???
I love the concept. Good on those guys who have the talent to make just 1 song that anybody would want to download and enjoy! Fair play to those guys that can put more than 1 song together and maybe make some money. Hail to those who can get everything right - an album, the artwork, the package and still keep happy, healthy and sane. Good mix too. All hail to Ron Sexsmith!
I don't know if the album is dying, but the mix is here to stay!! Looks like some mighty fine selections, Misfit. Props for Old Crow, the Sadies, & Charlie Rich, among many others.
If you like that song the whole Old Crow Medicine Show is worth hearing. Lots of good picks - hope you found some gems here that you like enough to pick up the albums. And I totally love that Jason R and Steve E song, despite my general indifference for Steve Earle.
This looks great.
Really nice country flavoured mix. especially like the old crow, charlie rich and richard thompson pix
Whether anyone is aboard the "new distribution" matters not, it's here. To stay. I don't think it signals the demise of the LP, rather it gives the listener/consumer another choice in how they purchase music. Good mix Misfit! Love the 6>7>8 run and the Old 97s to the end, a lot....some I'm not familiar with.....

I love the Dwight/Flaco tune especially, plus the Rosie Flores, Charlie Rich, Freakwater, Blue Rodeo, and Johnny Cash (and his Bastard Sons!)! Mighty fine mix!
Fantastic. The LP? The mixtape killed the LP. I'm with Valis on the "new distribution." Just make sure you back-up those MP3s everyone.
