Parachutes is good, definitely worth 2 bucks but I like A Rush of Blood better. Either way both good albums.

Yeah, I already had Rush and X&Y. This is interesting so far, and for $2 it's a no-brainer, if only for "Yellow" (the only song I knew from the album).

It looks like Amazon is getting more punctual on when the DOTD deals actually are posted. I can't find any deals not mentioned with my regular methods.

The best I could come up with was this, a deal compared to the CD release due to the limited number of tracks, two of which are about 20 minutes long.

On The Corner by Miles Davis - $3.96

nothingfails 06-21-08 12:34 AM

this is probably the best week ever for a newbie Coldplay fan, if you buy the new cd for $10 on sale, you can get the rest of the studio discography all together for $20

When will they get really creative and sell a 50 Cent album for 50 cents?

In A Silent Way by Miles Davis is only $1.98 (of course, it only has 2 tracks, but still a lot cheaper than the CD).

Jay G. 06-21-08 02:43 PM

Found a deal:

Barenaked Ladies Are Me (Deluxe Edition) by Barenaked Ladies $2.99

With 27 tracks, that's about 11¢ a song.

This album has been released in so many versions, even with the Wikipedia entry I had some difficulty decyphering this release. Basically, the first 13 tracks are the "Barenaked Ladies Are Me" album, with the remaining 14 "bonus" tracks composed of songs recorded during the same recording session, and later released separately as most of "Barenaked Ladies Are Men." However, the "Barenaked Ladies Are Men" album has two additional tracks not included in this deluxe release of "Barenaked Ladies Are Me."

The two "missing" tracks, "What A Letdown" and "Why Say Anything Nice", can be downloaded separately from Amazon as tracks 15 and 16 from this listing of "Barenaked Ladies Are Men":
http://www.amazon.com/Barenaked-Ladi...dp/B000TENG3A/

I hope that makes sense.

Worth it even if you have the hits on another album. Even the deeper cuts are pretty great. I'm a fan of "Murder By Numbers" and "Walking In Your Footsteps". Of course, the album has two totally unlistenable tracks, "Miss Gradenko" and the astonishingly awful "Mother", but at least you can deselect it. On my first version of that album, I had to hop up, go over to the record player and pick up the needle to avoid "Mother".

I'll Be Lightning by Liam Finn - $2.99

Jay again comes through with your advanced intel...

Usually I'm not one to recommend purchases, but if you don't have this CD, you should be buying it for this price.

Jay G. 06-24-08 07:54 AM

Noticed this in an email from Amazon today:

Best of Nuclear Blast: 20th Anniversary Compilation by Various Artists - FREE

Jay G. 06-24-08 03:49 PM

It looks like all the attention regarding George Carlin's death has caused a bunch of his albums to shoot up onto Amazon's Top Downloads charts.

A few deals from those listings:

Carlin on Campus [Explicit] by George Carlin - $0.99
A complete 48 minute performance on one track.

What Am I Doing in New Jersey? [Explicit] by George Carlin - $3.96

Jammin' In New York [Explicit] by George Carlin - $4.95

Back in Town [Explicit] by George Carlin - $6.93

Killer Carlin by George Carlin - $6.93
Consists of earlier material when he partnered with Jack Burns. Very different from his later solo material.

Agreed on all counts, Murder by Numbers and Walking in Your Foot Steps are great, Mother and Miss Gradenko are terrible.

They forgot to lower the price -- it's still coming up $9.99.

Jay G. 06-25-08 12:46 PM

It looks like Amazon goofed when they posted the Charlie Parker album as the DOTD. They're now listing this album as the DOTD for 6/25 Wednesday:
I'll Be Lightning by Liam Finn - $2.99


Another deal I found:
Morrissey Greatest Hits by Morrissey - $3.99
