I got a note saying that the account was suspended for 24 hours due to "unusual usage."
Probably inevitable... or only temporarily evitable.
How's it sit? Pretty cunning, don'tchya think?

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I mean, if they care about "unusual usage," there's probably a lot about the usage of that account that's been "unusual" for months now....

I just got that message, Sue, and was coming here to see if we knew anything about it. My guess is that it has more to do with the number of people who have been accessing it lately, or accessing it at the same time, rather than the number of songs downloaded by any one person.

I admit, I haven't read the TOS, but are we actually using the account in a way that we're not supposed to?

hip deep in pie
Yeah, the TOS talks about infringing on others intellectual property rights.

Has there been any talk of Kate Bush's new CD in here?
I bought it for S for Xmas and I'm really glad we did.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I've bought it but have only listened to it one time through yet. It's the kind of thing I know I'll need to immerse myself in. I'm sure I'll love it.
Right now I've got the laptop hooked to the turntable and am digitizing songs I only own on LP to teach my accompanist what I want to do for my gig on Jan. 12. Sheesh, I should digitize at least a couple songs a day. I have a number of LPs that are out of print and have never been reissued on CD. Right now I'm doing some of the terrific '30s swing/string band stuff that Rambler Records issued.

I got a leaked copy online, and it's very pretty in places. The Decemberists' "Clementine" is inspired, and that's just for starters.

I just downloaded a bunch of '80s tunes from eMusic. (I've heard of Suicide for decades, but never listened to them until now. Wow.)
Anyway, I also got some King Missile. Damn, but I had forgotten how beautiful the piano is in "Jesus was Way Cool."

If you're a fan of old jazz and world music, eMusic has the Yazoo and Shanachie Records.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
My friend who works at eMusic keeps telling me that they have really cool new signings ahead in the new year, stuff he's really amped about, and of course he can tell me nothing about it. Fie!
He does work with Craig Finn, of the Hold Steady, who is yet another good reason to be an eMusic member.
