Music For Your Work Week... My Chemical Romance

Tue, 13 Mar 2007 09:39:00 -0700

My Chemical Romance is the band that I have selected for this round of Music for Your Work week. This is a band that released their debut album in 2002 on an New York indie label. Their most recent album, "The Black Parade", is a unique experience that can only be compared to Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, and Queen. The album is a varying mix of punk, ballads, and some harder classic rock styles. [More]

EMI prices non-DRM music out of reach...

Mon, 26 Feb 2007 14:03:00 -0700

It was widely believed that EMI was on the verge of selling a non-DRM license to sell their music online. They were willing to do it, but for a price that neither Apple or Microsoft were willing to pay. I think that this move was to discourage online retailers from offering non-DRM'd stuff. Why should they offer non-DRM'd MP3 files for sale? Well for one, I might actually start buying them. Like a lot of other users that have MP3 players that do not accept DRM files, I have never purchased music for my player. I rely completely on ripping music from cds and I back in the day I used to use file sharing. I don't do the latter at all anymore because of the RIAA and their suits. I believe if that they removed the DRM from their files and sold MP3 files capable of playing on all players that their sales would go through the roof.

I am going to take a page from my friend Brian over at Remote Synthesis and recommend an album/song for everyone to try out. The music I have selected may not be exactly mainstream, but I think if you listen to it you might just like it. [More]
