What's on my sonic plate?
...I'll tell you.
It all started tonight when I was trying to figure out what song was playing during an episode of House. I discovered that it was called "Kicked Out" by Pussy Galore, and I went in search of it.
Well, iTunes didn't have it.
Amazon didn't, either.
In fact, the only place that did was eMusic. So away I went to sign up. 50 free downloads, you say? Yes, please. I purchased the cheapest plan ($11.99) and started grabbing some songs.

I take that back. This whole thing actually started when I heard about Paul Westerberg's new 49-cent record. What a great thing to do - at that price, who cares if it sucks? The part that did suck slightly was having to sign up for Amazon's MP3 service and download their little program. I guess it wasn't so bad. eMusic has one too. Eh.
---->back to present
So now here we are, in the present, and I can tell you about all the great music I downloaded today and will probably listen to sometime soon:
Paul Westerberg - 49:00
Pussy Galore - Dial 'M' for Motherfucker
The Hold Steady - Stay Positive
Deastro - Keeper's
Fugazi - Red Medicine (on the recommendation of David Bazan)
Neutral Milk Hotel - Everything Is (because the preview sounded wicked)
The Dark Romantics - Heartbreaker (imported the CD I got on pre-order)
Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend
Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago (also found this through House)
Crystal Castles - Crystal Castles
The Field - From Here We Go Sublime
Spoon - Telephono, Love Ways, Soft Effects, 30 Gallon Tank
Mahler - Symphonies 5, 6, 8, 9 (I had two of these already, and found good recordings of the other two)
There you have it. I'm sure I'll rave about whatever jumps out at me.
