I knew I was hanging onto some downloads this month for a reason. And that reason has become Jean on Jean.

As we say in Korea “Ah-sa!”

hey Tim – Thanks for the tip. I was able to add the right RSS feed.

Digging the new Booka Shade a lot, thanks for the heads up Yancey.

Thanks for reminding me about the feed, q! I’d removed my 17D module from its place of honor in the upper left of My Yahoo. It stopped working when the site went down, and never came back.

So just now, I decided to delete it and add it back, see if that rebooted it.

If you look for “17 Dots” in the My Yahoo Add Module util, you’ll see 3 feeds. Mouse over each for the preview, and you’ll see that the one at the top hasn’t been updated in a week, the one on the bottom hasn’t been updated for a month…and the one in the middle is juuuussst right.

Tim’s comment on Glasgow made me laugh…

Glasgow was one of eMusic’s “featured regions” last week, so I clicked on it… and I owned every single album listed on the front page of returns.

BTW, the significance (and usefulness) of the “featured regions” has long escaped me — how many of the “featured regions” have returned, like, one band? Maybe someone can explain how they’re selected.

Your description of the Jean on Jean sounds interesting – it’s in my Saved for Later list. I sampled the new Booka Shade album, but I was left unimpressed. Perhaps the samples don’t do their songs justice, so I’ll try again later.

By the way, do the RSS feeds work? I noticed the last entries haven’t been showing up on My Yahoo page. I check the 17dots blog regularly, so the RSS probably wouldn’t help me that much. )

In that case my vote would be for ‘You Look Great When I’m Fucked Up.’

Deb you are totally right. We should try to crowd-source a BJM best-of!

With BJM, I found that downloading a very selected group of individual songs and making them into a playlist worked best. Their output quality is very spotty. I especially like the sadder songs with lots of 60s instrumentation, like “Leave Nothing For Sancho” and “Malela.”
