I have been following a site called Lost At E Minor for a while now. They have an eclectic mix of art and music on there, often with an antipodean slant that...
The sample tracks finally managed to displace A Fine Frenzy from continuous play, so I gave in and bought not one but two albums by Juana Molina. I really...
Heathrow is in a state of "increased alert" this morning, according to the yellow-jackets just before security in Terminal One. What this mean is that they...
... I feel your pain. I have just returned from SFO to Glasgow, and in all fairness, the customs into the UK was an absolute breeze compared to the US side of ...
So? <sigh> It's nothing short of security theatre :-) It's not a matter of security, it's a pretext to appear to be doing something. There is NOTHING they...
... Actually, that's close to what I feel is the reason. The rules don't exist to make sense. They exist for you to follow them. They jack up the pain, ...
The war has started between the two As - Apple and Amazon. I just gave Amazon MP3 a try and it works splendidly. They are selling current chart music in the US...
... Perhaps, but I just went looking for music that I want, and I am sorry, but I want it performed by whom I want it performed, not from the "Karaoke All ...
There is another possibility that is more likely, given the pervasive attitude of the cell carriers in the US. Specifically, AT&T insisted on the locked phone...

One of the big differences for me is that I can use iTMS from Australia. Amazon appears to be a US only service at this point. ... -- dIon Gillard Rule #131 of...
... Actually dIon, you can use iTMS Australia, not iTMS - there's plenty of stuff on iTMS US you can't buy (unless you happen to have a US accommodation...
Very true, and iTMS Oz is in most respects a cut down version of the US store content wise - no TV shows for example. But hey, I can buy the CDs and DVDs from...
Still enjoying using Amazon MP3 (you'll need to use a US delivery address to buy stuff). Today I finally got round to buying Leslie Feist's The Reminder. I'm...
I noticed a few weeks ago that Last.FM had added a video tab to all the artist pages, but I couldn't find any. Today I got some promo-spam from them pointing...
OK, I could get into this Last.FM video thing. I have really been enjoying this week's free track on iTunes UK, "This is the thing" by Fink (not free in iTMS...
I'm sitting in my splendid room at Keystone listening to Moncef Genoud's brilliant Aqua and idly web surfing. I notice that Amazon MP3 (US only for now sadly)...

I just subscribed to a new podcast series on iTMS US. Turns out that NPR is pushing a podcast series of full, live concerts. Well worth sampling - I just...
Well, after our biggest Amazon Christmas yet (there's been a delivery every day for the last week thanks to Amazon Prime) the time is finally up and the last...
I expect I am the last person in Britain to find Kosheen, but I saw a replay of the "Later..." appearance they made in 2001 and immediately had to go hunting...
[http://tinyurl.com/2k3rbu] I'm on decaf at the moment for reasons I'll write about some other time, and the only decaf that's bearable is Illy. My coffee...
