So I just noticed ABKCO’s disappearance. Sorry to see them go, glad I got some while it was here. I hope you sent them a bill for all the time you put in on the launch.

[...] every eMusic subscriber knows, not too long ago eMusic did a deal with ABKCO to sell the early Rolling Stones back catalog under standard eMusic terms (DRM-free MP3s sold at 33 cents per track or even less depending on [...]

@Yancey Thanks for the 15 songs article. I would have completely glossed over the “Yer Blues” and “A Quick One. . . ” I’m one of the few human mammels that never really liked the Stones. I mean, sure there are songs on “Through The Past Darkly (Big Hits Vol.2)” that as a kid I used to play off of my father’s LP (one of the best Vinyl cases ever: hexagon) but for the most part I was never into them (read this as I think they are a greatly talented band but their music hasn’t touched me much so I pretty much ignored the biggest band ever to come to eMusic when they were put on the na list).

Maybe I’ll even download “Mother’s Little Helper” off of Darkly, ’cause I keep getting it stuck in my skull.

a few of my unsung favorites: “I’m a King Bee,” “Fingerprint File,” “Hand of Fate,” “Indian Girl,” “No Use in Crying.”

I think the more music eMusic gets the better. Mainstream, underground, whatever. It all belongs there, and will only improve the service. There is no way adding more music could ever be a bad thing (though the mechanisms for finding, sorting etc that music can always be improved).

I’m not looking for mainstream artists to flood into eMusic, either. A little of that goes a long way, and too much of it could do real harm to eMusic’s niche in the market (and put it in a grey area where it’s more squarely competing for iTunes, which would be an uphill battle). So I’ll shed no tears if we never see Asia or Boston or Beyonce or the Backstreet Boys on eMusic.

But having said that, select items from a major label’s back catalogue fit nicely within eMusic’s concept. And today’s additions from The Rolling Stones do, as well. These songs are gritty and savage and bluesy; they aren’t sleek or polished or glossy. They fit here, I think, and Yancey’s feature today — highlighting overlooked Stones gems — makes a powerful case for why they belong here.

Wow. I’m not one of those folks who miss the big-name acts (you can always get them elsewhere), but still–this is a huge addition. Well done.

Between this and Jay-Z earlier in the month, we might be headed for a troll-free 2009.

People who are inclined to troll will always find something to troll about. Alas.
