New music experiment
My music collection is in desperate need of an update, having stagnated since about 2002 with very little new discovery since then. This is the beginning of my effort to revitalize it.
With the help of Tuneage and other music discovery methods, I’m trying a new experiment:
- Get at least one new album every week.
- Each must be from a new band.
- All music will be legally acquired — either purchased or legally free.
- Digital downloads will be used as often as possible, but with absolutely no DRM. CDs beat DRM if there’s no alternative.
Last week’s albums:
What’s next?
I would recommend a subscription to eMusic. It’s all DRM free, and for $90/year I get 30 downloads a month, so that’s $.08/track. A hell of a lot less than a CD or iTunes. Last week I got the new Raveonettes album and Thao (two awesome bands if you don’t know ‘em). Their selection is mostly indpendent and smaller bands. And to sign up you get 35 free tracks.
