I refuse to call it what FOX is calling it because I am protesting the sheer stupidity.

My kids thank you.

Not a big Neko Case fan either. I actually wanted to like her because I like that genre of music a lot. I have a bunch of her earlier records. Her voice is kind of grating to me. I do like The New Pornographers though. Jenny Lewis is the far superior talent.

Jenny Lewis is/was with the band, Rilo Kiley, not New Pornographers. I think the way it was placed in the post may have thrown you off.

Ok thanks. The post did throw me off. I knew i wasn't super familiar with Jenny Lewis but i didn't think she was in the NP.

Glad to hear i wasn't nuts.

Neko Case is in TNP. Sorry, my shameless plug for Jenny Lewis should have been a different paragraph I guess.

December's 50 for $5 -- supersized for Christmas.

The Vivian Girls and Rosanne Cash deals are worth the money, not to mention the Bowie, Air, and Lily Allen albums if for some reason you don't own them yet.

Hello,

Thank you for purchasing the new album, The 99 Most Essential Tchaikovsky Masterpieces (Amazon Exclusive). We're writing because we found that the download for track No. 77 was not a Tchaikovsky composition. We apologize for the error and have refunded your order in full. Refunds are typically completed in 2 to 3 business days.

We've corrected the error and you can download track No. 77 — "Swan Lake, Op. 20, Act II: No. 13, Danse des Cygnes: V. Pas d'action: Andante - Andante non troppo – Allegro" — at:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002S3AI18

We look forward to seeing you again soon.

Sincerely,
Amazon MP3 Customer Service

Now, the track that I previously downloaded was titled, "77 - The Snow Maiden (Snegurochka)_ Aria," which it most definitely is not. It some jazzy number, not even classical.

Can't say I've ever heard of the Mediæval Bæbes before, but damn, I'm hooked on it. I think I've previewed listened to every song of theirs Amazon has.

Now I just need to decide on which one to buy.

Anyone hear of them before that can offer a recommendation?

Loved this bit on the half.com description of one of their albums:

Is the version of Pet Sounds they have there worth the cash?

Oooo! I was thinking about this in November, but I forgot to come back and look in December. The tracks are pretty much hit or miss but you can't beat FREE.

Which version are you referring to?

Pet Sounds 40th Anniversary Stereo Digital by The Beach Boys - $5.00
http://www.amazon.com/Sounds-40th-An...dp/B000T06172/

Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys - $9.49
http://www.amazon.com/Pet-Sounds/dp/B000SZZIH2/

The Pet Sounds Sessions: A 30th Anniversary Collection by The Beach Boys - $39.47
http://www.amazon.com/Pet-Sounds-Ses...dp/B000T2KFKO/

The $5 one has only the stereo versions. The $10 one has both stereo and mono, but you could buy a used copy of the CD for about the same price, or less. The $40 one Amazon sells on CD new for the exact same price.

It wasn't yesterday, but it is now. I sort of regretted not checking it out in September, so I jumped on it this time.

7digital's US site is doing an "advent calendar" sale where they're adding a new $2 album every day until Christmas:

http://us.7digital.com/cms/Calendar_...nt-US2009.aspx

Dear Science by TV on the Radio is a no-brainer for $2, especially since it's the deluxe version.
