Burning Up the Credit Card

Merge Records is now on eMusic. Looks like I'll need some booster packs. Sigh. In a good way sigh.

People used to mock me for subscribing to eMusic because they only had tiny, small bands. Which was sort of true. But I discovered a ton of great music there. Now, with Merge, they have the Magnetic Fields, Spoon, Dinosaur Jr., M Ward, etc. No one should complain now, dammit. This is good stuff. Right now my "Save for Later" list includes:

Neutral Milk Hotel
American Music Club
Bloc Party
The Heavy Blinkers
The Owls
Of Montreal
Audible
The Autumn Defense
Decibully
Mirah
Solex
Neko Case
I Am the World Trade Center
The Black Swans
Ivy
TMBG
+/-
Ida
Irving
The Future Bible Heroes

That's a pretty good list. And, 40 tracks for $10 a month ain't bad. Plus, when I need more, I can get an additional 50 for $14.99. Damn good. Lord knows I wouldn't have been able to afford all of this music otherwise. Sure, I miss out on the shelf-factor. But I can deal with it.
