Buy 4/5 or so of 10,000 Maniacs' Hope Chest. Or the first Mu album.

The Coup's latest album. Or the Hold Steady.

usually have to purchase the whole album to get songs over 7 mins

Buy "Quem Mandou" from the Gilberto Gil/Jorge Ben collab.

'Three-Dee Melodie' by Stereolab is a pretty cool song..

"usually have to purchase the whole album to get songs over 7 mins"

Is that for real? Another reason to avoid iTunes if true.

Partially true. You do have to buy the albums for "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands," "Going Home," "The End" and some other favs.
But the Who's "A Quick One While He's Away," at 9:11, is a bargain at 99 cents.

― Jim M (jmcgaw), Thursday, 22 June 2006 20:05 (twenty years ago)

An even better deal:
"Bitche's Brew" (26:58) for 99 cents.
