Robert Scoble pointed out a brilliant source for listening to some great samples of bands performing at this year’s South By South West Festival in Austin, Texas from March 12 - 18 of 2008. Someone has grabbed all the samples from the music pages and loaded them into a torrent file. I had to download [...]

I have been really pleased with Amazon’s music download sales, they give you very high quality MP3 files with no restrictions on what you can do with the files built into the files.

2007 was a very good year for music for me with a wide variety of artists putting out albums I really like. One of these was killed on the radio but I don’t listen to the radio so I still enjoy it. Most of these are fairly obscure and only a couple mark me as [...]

I got an email from someone on Amazon asking if I would listen to an album and review it based on a review I had done for a Merle Haggard album that I enjoyed. I replied I had never heard of the artist but would give them a listen and put up a review. The [...]

CD Baby has been a popular place to pick up independent music for awhile now, I have ordered a couple of obscure CDs from them and their service was great, but I have been buying more and more of my music digitally. I like the immediacy of digital, if a band sounds interesting I can [...]
