And for the record, I picked up these five from eMusic:
Original Pirate Material, The Streets
We Will Become Like Birds, Erin McKeown
Front Parlor Ballads, Richard Thompson
Live at St. Ann's Warehouse, Aimee Mann
Freedom and Weep, Waco Brothers
Inara: Mal, this isn't the ancient sea. You don't have to go down with your ship. Mal: She ain't going down. She ain't going anywhere.
'Out Of Gas'
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.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Tulane has announced that it will not open this year (semester?).
Just to clear up this bit from the article Hec quoted -- Tulane will not open this semester, but University President Scott Cowen believes it will be open for the spring semester.

Suddenly, 65/month is not enough.
I always use up my 65 in the first week and end up buying at least one Booster pack - still a ton cheaper than buying CDs or using iTunes.

Dunno yet. I downloaded them at 10pm, and it's five hours of music. I'll let you know once I get a good listen to it on the iPod.
I can say this: Erin McKeown does Laura Veirs' album better than Laura Veirs. Remember how I said they shared a producer (Tucker Martine) and that may explain why their new albums sound so much alike? McKeown is really starting to show some of her brilliance, even if only in flashes. She reminds me of the 24-year-old outfielder who's hitting .260 with some pop, and you keep thinking that maybe, just maybe, if he can keep improving in the offseason that he will be a superstar next year. What I'm trying to say is that McKeown could be poised for a breakout album next time out -- if she keeps improving.
And another entry on the Perfect Pop Song list just came up on the iPod: "Downtown Lights" by the Blue Nile.

I should make a list of Perfect Pop Songs.
The iPod just offered this one for the list: "Wake Up Boo!" by the Boo Radleys.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I should make a list of Perfect Pop Songs.
"Heavenly Pop Hit" by The Chills almost lives up to its title.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
It's just me.
