While I’m posting about bands whose names start with T and end with 80, Chicago “straight experimental/techno/pink floydish stuff” band TRS-80 shows a lot of promise. (Although I’d term them more a “jazz-drumming/analog-electronics-loving/hip-hop-beat-having/more-DJ-Shadow-influenced-than-Pink-Floydish” band.)
MP3s available: Math Basket and Phantom Power.
Now that basically every band in the world posts MP3s on their web sites, I’m considering bringing back a completely virtual form of the old CD Mix of the Month Club. Instead of actual CDs being burnt and mailed, it’d involve me pointing to about 80 minutes of good MP3s available for legal download. Would you be interested, loyal readers?

yes, very.
I was pretty bummed when we quit the snail-mail version of the CDMOM, but knew it had grown too unwieldy for one man to handle. A bit-based ressurection would be well-received by the likes of myself — and many others, I’m sure.
yes please
Oh yes. Indeed.
Dude –
You have the bandwidth for that? Or would it be P2P instead of on the Web?
No bandwidth required. I’m just talking about linking to MP3s already hosted on bands’ sites. In other words, if I wanted to lead off a mix with a TRS-80 track, I’d just have a link to the song in question on http://www.trs80.com.
I’m in.

Sounds good to me.
Yes, please. Yes, yes, yes. Please. Yes, please.
i’m down, but i’m still waiting for the phoenix to rise…
Interesting idea. I’ve decided to can the Compilation Champs CD for SXSW this year, but I will be giving out usernames and passwords to a private directory of MP3s hosted by me. I am calling it the “Make Your Own Damn CD” edition…
that sounds like a plan josh..looking forward to it….
i just thought of one other thing…if anyone out there is still interested in trading in the traditional way, i am looking for you…i still make hi quality mixes EVERY month and want to hear what ya’ll are listening to…send me an email if you are interested, and josh, i cant wait for the cyberspace versions of CD MOM….
an excellent idea. it’d be thrilling.
hasn’t it been a year sice the last CD MOM came out..you were starting to miss it right?
i like that idea. i fell into the CD Mix late in the game, but enjoyed the cds i received, so something like this idea would be cool.
yes yes please please
Here’s a good place to start:

come on, jason — don’t expose all my good mp3 hiding places! there are only so many to go around…
Yes, Josh, please do. I miss the CDMOM club and all of the new stuff you would introduce us to.
Sounds like a great idea.
Yo! I’d be way down for that.
