Probably get it when it hits emusic - who needs > physical CDs any more, now my shed is full of them? I'd be more inclined to agree with you if eMusic downloads (they're an example - true of anything else) also included artwork other than a postage stamp, liner notes, etc., just like the physical CD. In fact it should include *more* in the way of digital-specific content - things that can't be packaged w/a physical CD. I know we've talked about this before, but it remains true for me that if I really want a particular batch of music or think particularly highly of it, I'm still likely to buy the CD so I get all that other stuff. Music I'm less enamored of (actually or potentially) I'm content to have remain in digital format...but I miss the knowledge-space, and the aesthetic experience, that comes with physical media. As I said, there's no reason digital downloads couldn't incorporate that...but it's odd: the "download the album for $7.99" thing gives the equivalent of if the record store just handed you a slab of vinyl, with the titles of the songs printed in black Times New Roman on white paper - that's it. That sort of thing can be an artistic statement, sure...but only when it has, you know, an Of Montreal sleeve to play off of. While I'm fantasizing, I'd like to see iPods and the like come with the ability to broadcast wirelessly to TV sets & the like, so you can access art, titles, liner notes, videos, etc., if you choose. Of course the irony is that rec.co.s probably don't want to make digital packages more valuable in digital ways - if you can download it, you can download it w/o paying for it, whereas physical objects can't be downloaded and so create an arena for rec.co.s to still make money.

It's on the mid-season schedule, to begin in January. From what I hear Fox has not only committed to a 13-season run, they've already sunk a lot of money into the production, and I don't imagine they'd just write that money off. So Dollhouse should be safe for those first 13 episodes (knock on wood). What happens after that, well, who knows?

To make it worse, when the DVD finally appeared it was produced by A&E, who were too cheap to pay licensing fees for the original music (which was one of the defining characteristics of the show - see "Guy Ritchie knockoff" above) and plugged in a bunch of domesticated dance music instead. Even so it's pretty fun to watch - although A&E put the episodes on the discs in 52-pickup order so you have to skip around if you want to see them in their proper sequence.

Been a long time since I heard that stuff - I don't even remember a mandolin, honestly - but I'd think it would be Robyn, Kimberly, or Andy.
