eMusic has been revamped. They have music critics to review music, and they are going to focus on non-mainstream (and non-major label) music.
That's so funny because I canceled my subscripption in part because there were no reviews, and sent them an email telling them so when I left.
Apparently they listened to me.
You know that unbearably catchy Kinks song that they're using to advertise HP digital camera stuff? What is the title and/or what album is it on?
(Something about "picturebooks".)
It's "Picture Book", and it's on Village Green Preservation Society.
That's the album I used to cover in the one-album cover band. It's a doozy.
Now I'm poking my head in to report that my housemate brought home a promo copy of the new Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds album tonight, and it's so godawful that I'll probably never listen to it again.
I'm so depressed. And not in the good way I usually am after listening to Nick Cave.
Secret message to Jon: It's OK that you're so lame. No rush.
So to recap...
Tom Waits, still great.
Nick Cave, sucking like a Minnesota hooker.
Okay, now but did everybody know that the songs on
The Boatman's Call
were about PJ Harvey?
Also, in solidarity with my gothesque friends, I taped videos off my TiVoed eps of The Alternative tonight. The superlush visuals of Dead Can Dance's "The Carnival's Over" (or some such title) and Siouxsie's video for "The Passenger." (Okay, admittedly, I had ulterior motives on that particular video.)
Nick Cave, sucking like a Minnesota hooker.
If the album's as bad as Jen claims, you do realise the Minnesota Hookers Association will take umbrage at that remark?

They charge extra for taking it up the umbrage.
