Maybe a DFA Singles daily buzz for starters at least. We'll see... I’ve thought about that too, Daniel. Maybe a DFA Singles daily buzz for starters at least. We’ll see…

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 20:28:12 +0000 http://17dots.com/?p=2132#comment-116337 I downloaded this song a few days ago; it is the jam. The DFA titles on eMusic are an underappreciated treasure. (n.1) I'd love to see a DFA hub, or a broader post on 17 Dots discussing key items from the label's catalogue, and/or a Dozen feature on the label. ______________________________ (n.1) I know we don't have them all -- and that we're missing many key titles -- but what we have is outstanding.
