Geez, pretty soon the "deal" of the day is going to be a buck off.

I'm not sure how long this lasts but Air's Talkie Walkie is $1.99 on Lala.com. It's one of my favorite albums.

I also found The Beta Band: Hot Shots 2 for $1.99 and Primal Scream XTRMNTR for 2.99.

I did not find any new, unheard of, lala.com exclusive Doves albums.

Damn, I was hoping Alice in Chains would be the deal of the day. Paramore is cool though. I'll have to check that out.

Thanks Dave, for posting that the new Paramore album is DOTD. My daughter loves them, so she will be very very happy. Almost went to BB to get the cd, but this is way more convenient and inexpensive. Thanks again!

Lala's having a sale on Pitchfork's Top 200 albums of the 2000s.

From their weekly newsletter:
Each day this week we're adding more albums on sale starting at $1.99, as Pitchfork counts down their top 200!

http://www.lala.com/#content/p2kalbums

Right now they have albums 101-200 listed. Here's Pitchfork's articles about the list:
http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-...2000s-200-151/
http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-...2000s-150-101/

It looks like they're listing 50 a day.

Just a reminder : those that got $5 MP3 credits from Amazon for Video Game purchases in August -- 9/30 is the last day to use them. Anyone with credit left and any interest in Mariah Carey or Paramour should probably move right now...

Cool! Thanks for the heads up. I already own most of the ones on the list I'd want, which is a majority of them, but a few have slipped me by - I may definitely get a few of them at these sale prices that I don't have. In any case, I hope to listen to all the ones I haven't heard before for free once on lala.com after reading the list to see what will be worth getting for myself at some point.

I've not used Lala before. Is all of their music DRM free? What bit rate are they serving?

I love lala.com. I'm using this Pitchfork sale/countdown to fill in some gaps in my collection.

I read your post and was like, 'Holy shit! How is there a Doves album I haven't heard of?!' Then I realized you meant Beta Band.

Whoops. That's what happens when you have 4 hours of sleep and are awake almost an entire day straight, and makes post on DVDTalk at midnight. My bad. I'll fix the post.

I love the Doves... must have been thinking about them for some reason, but yeah - I meant the Beta Band. Sorry! :doh:

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 
Speaking of lala.com, they have even more selections to choose from during this sale to coincide with the Pitchfork list. I'd suggest both Animal Collective albums for sure... and there are plenty of others.

Basement Jaxx - Rooty is $1.99, as is Radiohead - Amnesiac.

Re: Amazon MP3 Album DOTD thread (part 3)
 
Pitchfork's #1 album of the decade is $1. Radiohead - Kid A.

I already own the CD, but for those who don't... excellent album. Not my personal #1 though. Still, I loved the list Pitchfork made.

One of my all time favorites, Daft Punk - Discovery ranked #3 and is $2.99.

Just a heads up to those who don't know....this is the new New Order cd minus Peter Hook and adding Alex James from Blur that is exclusive to Amazon MP3 for now.
