Things to Buy: Nirvana Live at Reading

Widely considered one of the best live concert recordings, Nirvana – Live at Reading is now available on CD, DVD, and MP3s. Highly recommended. Lala has it for $8.50.

I’ve been jamming on this all afternoon. One trip through the album and I bought it. God, they were good.

Breed – Nirvana

Vancouver, Detroit, and Bears – Eugene Mirman

Vancouver, Detroit and Bears! …

Bert and Ernie Gangsta Rap Mashup

Simply awesome – some naughty words so watch the kiddies. Not that they don’t have this song already.

2009 SXSW Music Is Out

As with previous years, the SXSW music has been released to the ‘net. And, like last year, it was up to the fans to seed a torrent of the 5 gigs of music (because it’s too hard for the organizers to promote their own event, apparently).

Well, the seeds are up and available for your downloading pleasure. Get them here.

Pricing Fail

Dear Amazon,

Fix this:

Amazon.com's MP3 purchase page for The Fray album

$0.99  x 10 < $9.99. I know it’s less than a dime, but come on. How hard is it to write a check for this?

Em, come back

Guy Adams from The Independent tracks down Eminem (aka Marshall Mathers). A classic rise and fall story, but one that needs one more chapter. Come back, Slim, if not for yourself, then for Detroit. Lord knows that city needs a voice again.

Wow. Metallica's "All Nightmare Long" video

I fell out of Metallica’s sway a while ago, giving up around Garage, Inc. But, as I09 said in their post today, “I am officially in love with Metallica again.” Well, at least for today.

This video is fantastic. Listening to the song without the video, it’s still a pretty decent song, but the video brings it to a entirely different, and better, level. It’s an alternate history, zombie, Cold War, sci-fi tour de force.

As with most Metallica, crank it up.

A Song for Wednesday

The Kinks – This Time Tomorrow

This time tomorrow where will we be
On a spaceship somewhere sailing across an empty sea
This time tomorrow what will we know
Will we still be here watching an in-flight movie show
I’ll leave the sun behind me and watch the clouds as they sadly pass me by
Seven miles below me I can see the world and it ain’t so big at all
This time tomorrow what will we see
Fields full of houses, endless rows of crowded streets
I don’t where I’m going, I don’t want to see
I feel the world below me looking up at me
Leave the sun behind me, and I watch the clouds as they sadly pass me by
And I’m in perpetual motion and the world below doesn’t matter much to me
This time tomorrow where will we be
On a spaceship somewhere sailing across an empty sea
This time tomorrow where will we be
This time tomorrow what will we see

The Kinks – This Time Tomorrow

Dear Amazon.com's MP3 Download Store…

Dear Amazon.com’s MP3 Download Store,

Look, I really, really like you. I do; you’re great, sweetheart. No DRM. Quick downloads. You’re the cat’s meow.

But, can we talk about your title naming convention? I know that getting Led Zeppelin IV for $2 is a total steal (aside: it seriously is right now). But why, why baby, do you put that insipid adendum “(Album Version)” on so many damn tracks. I mean, thank god IV is only 8 tracks long, because I have to remove that crap. And I love buying MP3s from you. Which means I have to do that a lot.

Every purchase requires me to fix your damn title naming convention. I’m afraid if you order the lobster, I’ll have to remind you not to eat the shells, honey.

Ok, that was cruel. I think I’m In Like with you. But, if you could see through to stop tagging “(Album Version)” onto so many tracks, Sugar, this could be love.

Thanks. How about knocking me a kiss, eh?
