I don't know if anyone here uses eMusic, but I've been a loyal subscriber for 5 years or so. Some people here have even pondered if I worked for them, as I always note in the New Music thread "eMu DL's". I don't, btw. I was just jazzed about the service. I've discovered some great bands, and...

Anyone know anything about it? Heard it? Out June 16, I guess.

Tried searching to see if this thread exists, but search was acting funky. I apologize in advance if I'm doing a retread! So, I just got this off eMusic, and I have to say that I'm already loving it! Great production, strong songs, the return of the violin... for me, it has all I want from MBD...

As I tried to post a response in another thread about influential bands from the last 15 years, it occurred to me that a good answer would require knowing something about what's actually happening NOW. I admit to liking what I like, and not understanding what the scene is. So, what is the scene...

He was one of my favorite classic rock drummers. "Fire" is an awesome piece of work. He'll be missed. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081112/ap_en_ot/obit_mitch_mitchell

So, you can download 6 stereo stems from iTunes as an album ($0.99) and remix them as you desire. Pretty cool. I know NIN has been doing this, too. I'm going to fool around with it a bit. Anyone else going to give it a shot?

I just stumbled across these the other day, and I'm glad to see these guys are actually good live. Oh man, and the costumes! :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNV7jWDT-m8&feature=related All sorts of other stuff, too. Like their performance at Star Wars Celebration Europe. I hope they can...

Interesting that he seems to really emphasize how reliable everyone in Opeth is...like he's used to bandmates who are unreliable...

What does Jens have against a dedicated sub channel? I don't get it. Again and again, no sub. I have good speakers, thankfully, so I get some good bass. But, really?? No LF channel? I've only just started listening to the mix (interrupted by the kids who demanded Dumbo instead....for the...

I just recently discovered these guys, and I really like them a lot. I got the album "Skullgrid". They call themselves experimental/metal/progressive on their myspace, which has a number of their tracks. http://www.myspace.com/beholdthearctopus I'd add that they sound sort of like 20th...

Europe gets it monday, US on tuesday. It's got some goodies, too. Read here. Up the irons!:rock:

If you have Comcast Digital, check out the Abbath "lesson". He does it all sans corpse paint, and boy is he sloppy as hell! He's admittedly a terrible teacher, and can't play his riffs slow at all. He also manages to fuck up and forget his songs a lot, but then he pinches some harmonics and...

I'm not saying it's news, but RJD started his recording career singing doo wop, and I've been trying to track down the recording. EMusic has it now. Listen to the samples. You can hear Holy Diver in those doo wop croons....enjoy.

Look, I know some of you are too kvlt and gr1m and whatnot to celebrate xmas, so you need not reply. But for those of you to whom the above does not apply, what do you listen to get into the spirit? Some of my current faves: Jethro Tull - Christmas album Brian Setzer - Boogie Woogie...

So, just stumbled onto this on YouTube. Probably there are some of you who've seen this. It's not exactly new. I'm stunned by this guy. Reminds me a lot of Michael Hedges. I'll be getting stuff from him on eMusic ASAP! Enjoy! Ddn4MGaS3N4&feature=related

So, I'm delving into flamenco, and I'm really enjoying it. I began to wonder if any metalheads decided to merge metal and flamenco, and what I found is this San Francisco band called Flametal (a bit of a lame name, iyam...especially in Frisco :erk:). But here's one of their tunes, "Anda Jaleo"...

From the www.woot.com. Kind of funny... Blue is the New Black Forget Black Metal. It’s over. It’s had its day. Blue Metal is the new thing—specifically, the blue metal of this Toshiba Onyx Blue Metallic Satellite Notebook. Don’t believe us? Well, here’s a point-by-point comparison...

Just wondering if you've gone back to standard tuning, staying in D, or trying something new. Looking forward to it, whatever it is! Cheers!

Anyone here listen to them? I've listened to a few samples and I'm pretty intrigued.

It seems to me that there are a few types of live performers: 1.) Those who perform the songs live as close to the recorded version as they can: vocals lines unchanged, solos done note-for-note, etc. 2.) Those who mostly stick to the recorded song, but may take extended solo breaks of new...
