Nice pickup on The Davenports. They’ve released two albums before this EP. Both are just full of very catchy pop songs. Their label website is way out of date, but here’s a bit more info on a Wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Davenports

They also perform the closing theme to the A&E show Intervention.

“Cubist Blues” is a strange and interesting collaboration between Alan Vega, Alex Chilton and Ben Vaughn. The three men improvised the songs in a dark room. It first came out over 10 years ago, and the Last Call reissue adds a second disc of live performances.

Ya know, for a mid-December NA, this list is pretty sweet. Hello, High Places; welcome to my iPod.

How about some mention of the Metropolis add?
There’s some darn fine records, for those that are into industrial/synthpop/EBM, such as VNV Nation, Apoptygma Berserk, KMFDM and Covenant.

Now that the UK emusic London office has been scaled back with the excellent Anna apparently no longer looking after things its a shame to find out they I’m now having loads of records being plugged at us users here that we simply can’t download. At least two of the albums highlighted in new arrivals section on the UK site aren’t available to us. It’s like offering a child candy and then telling them you can’t have it! Please guys stop teasing us…

Thanks for the heads-up, just downloaded that, seems like a steady grower. Pity we can’t get the Selects title here in the UK either. Is this a Thrill Jockey license issue?

If yr in Europe (UK included), that High Places record will not be available to you tomorrow.

I’d be happy to know about 300,000,000,000,000,000,000 albums to avoid.

Can’t believe you tease us in the UK with the Spinnerette release, any chance we get it soon? Otherwise a couple of interesting things to check out. Also I don’t know if the US have got them but it’s fantastic to see so much Vital/PIAS stuff now here on Emu! My Saved for Later just keeps growing!!

yeah, we should do that. i know joe made his list. mine would be retarded. it would be every emusic selects record and about 300 others tied for number 1, and then about 300,000,000,000,000,000,000 albums listed as “the worst album ever.” it would help no one.
