I picked up some really good albums in May.

It was actually the Parts & Labor album I didn't like. Maritime is okay.

But since then I got:

Christmas Caravan

And, oops, it's December, so it's time for Christmas music. I never had the Squirrel Nut Zippers' holiday album so that's the only new thing so far, though I collected a playlist last year's picks and some new albums I'll get when I get December's downloads.

I did save my mid-month picks 'til now, so here's some stuff:

Some of these were kind of speculative picks. I'm not sure how much I like the New Radiant Storm King or Maritime albums. I've played the hell out of the Broken West's Now or Heaven, though.

So what'd I get in September?

Trying to post these at the start of the month seems to naturally cleave my buying in two, since I try to spend my downloads for them, don't succeed, then really try to spend them all before they expire. So these plus those late “August” selections make a month's worth (I've sure been listening to Sissy Wish and Doomtree the past half month). Plus I have 46 downloads that half expire on Saturday, so I should pick up a few more by the next epdate.

This Gift

Sons & Daughters

I was trying to pick out the rest of those downloads (I still had 44 that expire Thursday), but found out that with the new presence of Domino Records on Emusic, you (or at least us in the US) can now get one of my favorite albums of 2008, one I paid $15 for on 7digital, Sons and Daughters' This Gift on Emusic. With my iTunes crapping out, it's now even putting the last track, “Goodbye Service,” on my iPod again, which is nice.

Meanwhile these are the other “August” albums I got:

These are kind of speculative picks from Shifted Sound and watching a bunch of Epic Fu today (though Apparat's been on my Save For Later list for a while). So we'll see if they're good.

I stopped posting these, but with Emusic's new album page design (nice!) I'll start again. But given how many stores I'll buy from now, I might as well just include everything. You can find it, right?

Here's music I got in July:

I absently typed:

I have eight of Emusic's 2007 best sellers. Is that good?

Stuff I got from Emusic this month:

Plus oh, awesome, there's a new Japancakes album coming out in October available in advance!

I also got Jonathan Coulton's Ze Frank covers (except for Sandwich) as featured in this episode.
