I have one by Cyndi Lauper, if you want it...

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
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.

I do not know what was going on tonight, but I was doing my monthly emusic downloads and it was not registering everything I was downloading. Has anyone else had this happen? Am I gonna get a bill for the extras?

Not sure, msbelle. I looked but didn't see anyone talking about having problems with that on the emusic message boards.
But I did see people talking about this Rolling Stone article.
The gist of which is that iTunes currently has 83% of the download business. eMusic only has 150,000 current subscribers and sells about 4 million songs per month, but it is the only service that does not offer its downloads in a protected format or in one that disappears when you quit the service (uhm, what kind of crap is that - evidently with Napster and Yahoo! your music goes away when you unsubscribe? WTF!!). But artists get more money from selling their music through iTunes (which totally makes sense given the price difference).
Plus AC Newman of the New Pornographers is a subscriber and a fan. There was some speculation (on the message boards) as to what his emusic user name might be.

I'm not sure what you mean, but if it's the error message you get on the download window (say 7 of 8 tracks will be fine but one will say "download could not be completed or something like that) I've had it happen. Just give it another try. They won't charge you for two, just the successful one. If it's something else entirely then I have no useful input.

I echo Joe. Same thing has happened to me.

Oh, and I forgot to post: Welcome to the mix, Theodosia! I'll add you to the schedule.

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove
Theo, I have a fun Iko Iko by Marley's Ghost, who are familiar to tina, as they are a perennial staple at Winfield. Give me the word and I'll e it to you.
I would love to do the mix thing, but my free time is so unpredictable. I think I'll just play along at home as a challenge to myself. I'm afraid my selections will be too acoustic; and worse, too pedestrian for Buffista taste.
I finally saw Cheryl Wheeler live for the first time Sunday night. Her performance is alternatively pee-your-pants hilarious and heartbreakingly beautiful. She's an awsome fingerpicker, yet never showboats. It all fits neatly into what she's doing musically with the song.
Kenny White had a set to open, then accompanied her. His original songs are the kind of SSWG stuff that, in less talented hands, can have me zoning out by the end of the first verse. But his songwriting was engaging from beginning to end. Interesting piano style too. His piano accompaniment for Cheryl was subtle and spot on, and their voices blended in a way that made my whole being hum.
Live music from fine, fine musicians. Makes life worth living.

The problem was not that I wasn't getting downloads. In fact, really not a problem at all, an error in my favor. I downloaded 56 songs before it told me I had none left, I only have 40 downloads. Error in my favor from what I can see. What I worry about is being charged later.
