something completely different;

now that the Hospitals’ Hairdryer Peace is no longer vinyl only, is there any chance we’ll see it on emusic?

Oh yes I was definitely planning to grab vol 2. Thanks for the rec that track does sound very awesome in the preview.

At least download that Duncan Bros. song I mentioned (off Panama 2). I don’t recall any glitches in it. You’ll be glad you did.

Oh I almost forgot another joyous fact: with the new friendly ‘redownload’ policy, you can’t even keep trying to redownload the glitched tracks in the irrational hope that they may someday be fixed.

I know I have already tried downloading some of those Porcupine Tree glitched tracks more than 4 times. Of course it was futile anyway….

Sorry I know it’s not ‘cool’ to complain, but tough.

I really wanted to grab the Panama 1 comp from Soundways but according to one of the reviews there are glitches on some of the tracks (a HUGE pet peeve of mine) and, despite the EXTREME price increase, I don’t have much hope that the level of service is going to improve to match…which means bad tracks will continue NEVER being fixed.

Sigh.

To the extent that such a thing exists in the Dylan catalogue (not), I wouldn’t call Empire Burlesque average to terrible. Dark Eyes alone puts it over the top, then there’s Tight Connection, I’ll Remember You, and When the Night comes Falling which is epic.

Look at me, boosting the Sony drop when you won’t even let me download it.

Wow, that Elmore Judd is a great find! Thanks Daniel. I usually check through HJs catalog on eMusic and I somehow missed that one. I was waiting for a post on the World Is Shaking compilation since it went up so discreetly on Sunday. It definitely doesn't disappoint. I had the chance to buy London Is The Place For Me, Part Four on vinyl for a not-so-pricey amount and somehow passed it up. I regret that decision all the time. Joe, I hope you do some sort of overview of Dylan's average to terrible records, that would be fun and awesome. Empire Burlesque needs some attention.

That’s fine Daniel, Esq ’cause Dylan did/has done all his best work in the 70s, 80s and 90s and 00s. If I had to make mt top 10 Dylan songs, only one or maybe 2′d be 60s.

So you’re off the hook, and free to come to the light without giving up the 60s hate!!

Sure! If you’d like, we can broaden that discussion out to my absolute ambivalence toward most 60s music. I’ll take this decade; the 1980s; the 1990s and the 1970s (tie on those last two) way over the 60s.

I downloaded the E. Judd, too. So far, so good.

! This is definitely a discussion we need to have at some point!
