Guest post by Molly Neuman, eMusic's VP Label Relations and MD Europe via digitalmusic.org . For a large segment of music consumers, downloading music to own is something that's seen as music's past. But for an even larger share, owning and collecting is hugely important. Compounding the issues at hand, streaming has taken on different meanings to today's consumers, including streaming your MP3 files to a device from the cloud, or streaming to your desktop via an internet radio station, a la Pandora or eMusic Radio. Streaming [...]

Maybe you like some of the same music we do, maybe you don't. Fair enough. If you do, you might enjoy checking out our last four months' purcha$e$ over at eMusic. We mostly bought powerpop, indiepop, shoegaze, psych, and garage and are pretty darned pleased with the haul. Do you want recommendations? That's kind of hard, as the quality's pretty satisfying across the board. Well, okay, leggo our

With Clifford being out of jail... finallllllyyy, it seems like he's throwing out every track he's been sitting on and is planning on making a huge comeback. This track is a heavy hitter produced by the J.U.S.T.I.C.E League, so check it out now!

Some interesting research from eMusic, which reckons it proves that people still want to own records - or at least mp3s - rather than stream : Top line stats from the eMusic research, which questioned 1000 music fans (some eMusic users, some not), include that 91% said they preferred to own tracks because there were no limitations on listening, while 86% said they felt ownership offered more security, ie tracks aren't likely to randomly disappear. 76% said they used streaming services to discover and sample music that they might then buy, and, presumably as a result of [...]

After 'sampling' tracks via Bandcamp from the Shook Twins, Katelyn (Guitar, Slide, Glockenspiel, Mandolin, Vocals) and Laurie (Banjo, Guitar, vocals, beatboxing, bass, looping, ocarina, djembe) I was tempted by the sweet sibling harmonies into downloading their début album in full as part of this month's eMusic quota, check out a trio of tracks from the album using the widget below.

Tweet At the time of Beirut's debut album release it didn't take long for me to find out, and subsequently feel extremely unaccomplished in life about, the fact that Beirut 's songsmith and main man Zach Condon was only 19 years old. Add into the mix the fact that he did everything himself just made me want to quit life altogether. At 21 I was chasing squirrels at 3am, stealing hoods from cars, stealing shoes from billboards, and stealing skating ramps from Universities and taking [...]

Emusic interviews Zola Jesus on location for her thoughts on music today and how her interest in "electronic" genre stems from the 'anarchy' of it all

Tweet Hip-Hop is something that's rarely posted around these parts but it's a beast that when it is posted, you know it's good. Big K.R.I.T. has been on my radar for a few months now but it's only been in the last two or so that I've been getting into his music, mainly due to love for Shabazz Palaces ' album and everything else I've been listening to that's non-Hip-Hop related. Earlier this year the dude dropped his [...]

Tweet It's not an official video but instead Burnt Ones lead singer Mark running through this new song on his own.

Tweet Hey Lykke, if you're reading this.....actually, can I just call you baby instead? Yeah? Cool...Ok.....so, Baby, I've forgiven you for the video you made for "I Follow Rivers" where you started macking on that guy you were chasing. It's ok, don't beat yourself up about it anymore, I know you felt bad for doing that to me but it's all good. These things happen (usually to me), so get in touch, bb. Anyway, for everyone else who's not [...]
