eMusic home stretch

[Tom Servo]

Throw out some ideas for my last bunch of monthly emusic tracks.

The new Joanna Newsom is out today...not necessarily my cup of tea, but the album only has 5 tracks.  Pretty good use of 5 downloads to get a new full-length album.

indie: beach house
 jazz: omer avital / the ancient art of giving

The one thing about eMusic these days is there is no lack of albums to download, I have several lists going and keep adding more each week.
 
 local:  The Hard Tomorrows
 indie:  The Music Lovers
 power pop: The Sails
 
 and of course the Chumbawuba which is very good.
 
 Plus a ton of early UK punk reissued via Cherry Red and it's imprints.

Is it safe to say eMusic has the vast majority of new releases each week?

[kosmo vinyl]

while eMusic is now making available new releases when they come out, their selection is still limited to indie labels like Merge, Epiteth, V2 Music, Drag City, Matador...  
 
 The amount of indie UK singles being made available is mind boggling.

Just finishing off this month's allotment.  I've been getting into a bad habit of forgetting about it until right before the end of the month.

did you pick up the pipettes?  thought it would be your alley with the girl-group and power-pop stuff

[kosmo vinyl]

yeah i got it... it's growing on me at the moment wasn't the instant oh yeah i thought it would be.
 
 and i forgot that Dischord, Arts and Crafts, XL, 4AD, and Secretly Canadian add new stuff quickly as well.  eMusic has partner with several of the indie label digital distributors like IODA, CDBaby, and PIAS in the UK.  Subpop is a notable holdout..
 
 and if you act quickly a couple UK labels as they may soon be unavailable to the US are there.
 
  Warp
 Domino

very notable, and aggravating

I've enjoyed your critques of bands here, and I think I know your tastes a bit.  If it's available, I'd highly recommend Driveblind's new cd - released about two weeks ago.  Power pop/great vocals.  Played both Black Cat and 930 club this year and are just as good live as in the studio. One of my top five picks out of 65 bands I heard at SXSW this year.
