yes and yes! There goes 20 bucks…

Starting tomorrow, I will be listening to nothing but In Rainbows :D

Love the Beirut and Jens albums.

Octopus Project, Robert Wyatt and MV&EE are all worth picking up as well.

I downloaded Enon, Jens Lekman, and Sunset Rubdown…

Finally!

Listening to the new She Wants Revenge album now.

I just ordered mine. I'd vote for all albums being "pick your own price." I would save a lot of money.

because you wouldn't pay for most albums?

Enon (the new one, not the reissue), Band Of Horses, Beirut for me.

No, I pay for everything I get, aside from some random one-off tracks and/or out of print stuff. But for someone like Radiohead who I think are past their sell-date, I could pay a cheap price and not feel ripped off.

Similarly, I could shell out the bucks for a band like Ween that's worth it :D

so you're dismissing the album without even having heard it? interesting.

Yawn. I've listened to every Radiohead album. I've liked each one less and less since the Bends. How is me thinking that they're "past their sell date" based on my listening experience being overly dismissive?

To me, they've been heading down-hill for three albums. That doesn't leave much room for optimism in their new material.

Look, I know it's blasphemous to dismiss Radiohead since they are the be all end all of existence, but it's an opinion. No reason to rush to their defense. I think they'll do just fine on their own.

Look, I know it's blasphemous to dismiss Radiohead since they are overrated as hell since OK Computer

No, my friend. THAT is true story . . .

And you're being awfully sensitive. Interesting.

This is my isane wishlist for this week. Too bad I've had a killer month on the ol' Capital One card. Between weddings and business trips I haven't gotten reimbursed for, I've got to wait a few weeks.

EDIT: I did pick up the Beirut album from eMusic the other day. It's pretty good; nothing earth-shattering by any means, but definitely worth a listen.
