Wow, I *am* into downloading shows. Did these come from eMusic?
I've found a couple good (free) live shows for download on db etree, but it's mostly jamband crap. I did get a great Morning Jacket show and a pretty cool Man or Astroman show.
Would love to hear a good Urge Overkill show. The show they played at the old 9:30 club was very memorable.

Here is a blog entry I wrote about AllOfMP3.com, which is cheaper, has a bigger selection (though not quite as indie as eMusic), and also has no DRM…

doubt what i did had little to do with this… but the minute i found out dischord went with ITMS, provider of ACC files DRMed for their protection, i shot off an email to both Dischord and eMusic suggesting the two should meet.

for those eMusic subscribers looking for new items to download, two of my absolute favs have recently been added. The Sugarplastic, best in 05, and Splitsville. check em' out if you haven't blown your downloads on John Denver cds.

Just in case if anyone was wondering if eMusic was any good or not, that is if you like "indie" rock.

I recently read that producer Sandy Pearlman was one of the founders of e-music……is this true I wonder?
