Works fine for me (Moz 1.6 at work).

On a similar note, I got a "25 free mp3s if you give us a second chance!"
mail from emusic last week and have been thinking about trying it. Anyone
have any super-hot recommendations from the past few months?

Uh, assuming doug's problem doesn't also hit me (Uniz Mozilla 1.4).

Could be.  I've got no problems right now with Netscape 6.

Speaking of eMusic, I'm currently listening to YOUNG LAWYER by the French
Kicks, a six-song EP that's in the current vogue for post-punk revival.
The guitarist has a thing for noisy staccato riffs and the singer sounds
kind of like a less too-cool-for-school version of Julian Casablancas, but
unlike a lot of the current crop of bands like this, they seem to have
something of a Kinks-Who-Creation fetish -- reminds me a lot of mid-period
Lilys, actually.

Yes, and he called it "1999".

I thought maybe Oakland Athletics manager Ken Macha made an album.   

No I didn't, But I'm still bummed that Vida Blue (the band) has nothing to
do with Vida Blue (the ex-pitcher).

- -Steve

"Macha's influences include My Bloody Valentine, Martin Denny, Girls Against Boys, Legendary Pink Dots, Can, bright flashes from the Bad Seeds/Neubauten nexus, and MDMA-friendly, participatory vibe that recalls San Diego's guerrilla noise collective Crash Worship. However, its important to understand that, rather than simply combining these elements into a hybrid for hyphen-happy music critics to use as crutch, Macha owns it all. "

Just in case it helps anyone in the future, my problem turned out
to be that I was testing <noscript> behaviors on a site I'm
developing, and I'd turned off javascript and forgot to turn it
back on.  

I think their interface did a very poor job of helping me identify
that problem -- i even made a web page documenting my attempts to
figure it out at http://summervillain.com/em 
(I'll even take the razzing for having Kittie in my maybe-download
queue)

Biggest emusic plus for me in the past coupla months was probably
boatloads of old pere ubu.

Uh, that's what Andy H. wrote - but I don't get it, not at all.

It's also true that I can't recall anyone else using the vibes-and-organ
combo other than _Ummagumma_-era Pink Floyd. Anyway, the list above
(except for "MDMA-friendly" which means nothing to me) is a good
description, so if you like any of those acts, individually or in
combination (hypothetically - I don't think Can ever actually
collaborated with Martin Denny), you'll probably like this. Although
really, I can't hear GvsB in there at all.

I got the new record, hoping it would be stellar like their first, and  yet 
again, it's OKAY, like their second, but nothing like their  debut.  It's 
similar to another band on Rainbow Quartz, Myracle Brah, whose  first album gives 
quite a pop rush mainlined into your skull via  headphones, or driving in your 
car late at night, (originally on the  Not Lame label) but frontman and core 
creator Andy Bopp  just can't seem to get the READY STEADY GO groove back on 
that  same level of intensity as the debut, though Myracle Brah's successors to  
LIFE ON PLANET EARTSNOP have tracks of greatness.  When it flows, it  flows.  
When it doesn't, you have spent another 16 dollars for a disc that  gets 
shelved and eventually sold for drugs (to steal from David Cross:  "Neosporin, 
anyone?").
 
Though I wish I could say otherwise, you can live without this one,  IMO.

to look to the past for them

choir!)
