I'm the same way, but I'm not a fan of radio schlock, so it's easier for me.

There's not the same push for 2 to 3 three minute radio singles and the rest of a 45 minute disc of filler in the punk world, so I've very seldomly been burned *casts a withering look at Me First and the Gimme Gimmes Ruin Johnny's Barmitzvah and Take a Break*.

More often I'm treated to more than I expect... (Chixdiggit - Pink Razors, Epoxies - every album, Descendents - Cool to Be You and in the more mainstream... RHCP - Stadium Arcadium).

Bren, you liked the Chixdiggit disc? I had an opportunity to see them a couple of times in Saskatoon (they toured through pretty regularily) but never actually took the time to do it, so always wondered about them. How would you describe their sound?

Anyone see the announcement that iTunes Store is now selling all EMI titles at 256k with no DRM? $1.29/each, plus $.30 upgrades from any EMI track (iTS only) you already have.

I would describe it as "hook-y" power pop... since they're on Fat Wreck, there're two full songs available for download off the Fat site.

I Remember You
Geocities Kitty

Kind of "summer punk"... good for working in the yard without making the neighbours' ears bleed.

Hook-y power pop. I listened to the first Chixdiggit track and it immediately reminded me of Fountains of Wayne. Very hooky power(ish) pop. You might not find it appealing, though, since they often depart from the realm of punk power chords.

Here is a full story on it.
I hope some of the other labels will follow suit.

That's their radio it, but the rest of the albums have some songs you actually might enjoy.

Well,

Amazon is now selling 256kps mp3's, some for 89 cents! This is a pretty good store, its not a music service, its a store, you can play these DRM free songs on anything that plays mp3's....looks ALOT better than iTunes...

Start your buying...

In other words, you can still use it with your iPods (and iTunes, if that's your preference). Amazon's got a winner here.
