What, no discussion of Radiohead's pay whatever you want download?
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

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.

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 haven't gotten around to downloading it.
I was thinking I'd pay $10. It's worth that, right?

Art Crawl!!!
I would think so!
I was trying to figure out both what I can afford (not very much) and how much is fair.
On the other hand, the actual cd will come out eventually and I know that I'll want that.

I hardly ever buy CDs these days. Unless it's something I can't download or it's something I'm really gonna like and I can't find a high-bitrate mp3 of it and the music is complex enough where 128kb compression might not sound as well as I'd like.
ION, has anyone tried the Amazon mp3 thingie? They're high-bitrate, right? Plus no DRM and I think the prices are pretty comparable to the iTunes store.

Ann, that's a ferret.
On the other hand, I like having hard copy backup of my music. So if my iTunes library ever crashes again, I don't lose everything.
Problem is, since Tower shut down last year, there's no decent music store around here. And my favorite music tends to come from the other side of the Atlantic. What with the weak dollar and substantial shipping costs, it gets pricey.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
skip=500 to say, David, I was able to get a copy of OA before I left the country and cheered when I saw your article! It was really good. We listened to the mix cd yesterday--it's very quirky.

It's cute! Not just because it's tiny, but because it's a miniature version of a big theremin.
I know!
I couldn't resist, and I splurged: [link]

Thanks, SA. Yeah, they always have a very eclectic music mix. Which is one of their charms - you always discover something great you never heard before.

Now you're going to have to make a tiny person to play it.

There's a 12-inch Thereminist joke in there somewhere.
