Happy belated anniversary, #tripmetal. You have made the world (mostly Twitter) a slightly funnier place.

eMusic: 1998-2014?

If you?ve never heard of eMusic, then maybe that?s the point.  Here?s an email leaked from inside digital distributor The Orchard to Digital Music News concerning the struggling music ?e-tailer??

Kosmo gently weeps and says "Goodnite Sweet Prince" to no one in particular.

Billy Corgan: 'Nobody believes I made a three-star record. Nobody!'

Crimony, this guy is so inside himself he's coming back out his own mouth.

i'm always amused by the people who said that eMusic abandoned the indie music fan when they added major labels... it certainly didn't stop people from downloading all the major label stuff and all the exalted indie labels/bands everyone carries on about are all pitchfork approved "indie"... you rarely ever saw CDBaby indie releases topping any off their charts.

i know emusic has lots of detractors but it absolutely worked for me. i easily follow 50+ labels via the site and never have a problem get my months credits worth.  many of those labels who do not have domestic physical distribution, so eMusic was a way to get at a reasonable price lots of my favorite recent releases.  i have bought a total of five tracks via iTunes, a handful via Amazon and Bandcamp.

Given their business model, it's impressive that they've lasted this long.

I'm sorry Kosmo - I know you were a big fan.  I blame Evil Santa.

Their Wondering Sound site published a bunch of very good writing over the last few months. I hope that stuff is all archived before they kill it.

While she's on a NY kick, Taylor Swift should do a cover of "Down By The River".

Crazy idea: let's reopen UMD's Record Co-op, maybe just as a pop-up test run.
