I do agree with you that no one seems to appreciate the huge amount of stuff TMBG has been releasing (much of it free). Everyone is talking about what's available but few ever stop to discuss the actual songs. Nonetheless, considering that I'm giving them $10 a month, I feel Emusic is obligated to explain the deal. The way it was presented was confusing. The details may have been given in the fine print somewhere but that's not good enough. Besides, any business should be grateful to get customer feedback. To Emusic's credit, they gave an amazingly detailed response to the question. It's as if they really care. I would have expected them to reply with something like: "Thank you for your valued comments. We currently have no further information on [insert topic here]. Thank you for choosing Emusic." The response they gave made it sound like they had conference with Flansburgh just to answer Erich's question. -B O N G O From owner-tmbg-list@tmbg.org Thu Jan 4 11:32:15 2001 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by ussenterprise.ufp.org (8.9.3/8.9.2) id LAA93956 for tmbg-list-outgoing; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 11:32:15 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from owner-tmbg-list@tmbg.org) Received: from 208.223.204.107 ([208.223.204.107]) by ussenterprise.ufp.org (8.9.3/8.9.2) with SMTP id LAA93947 for ; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 11:32:13 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from target@pulp-fiction.com) Received: from pulp-fiction.com [208.223.204.107] by 208.223.204.107 (SMTPD32-6.03) id A6A118D00B8; Thu, 04 Jan 2001 10:36:49 -0600 Message-ID: <184672001144163649812@pulp-fiction.com> X-EM-Version: 5, 0, 0, 4 X-EM-Registration: #01E0520310450300B900 X-Priority: 3 X-Mailer: My Own Email v4.00 From: "le petit cochon" To: tmbg-list@tmbg.com Subject: TMBG: so cool ...

There were six XTC albums released in the eighties (not counting Rag and Bone Buffet and the Dukes of Stratosphear stuff. True, they only came out with two albums in the nineties, but this was because of the strike against Virgin, and the releases seem to be somewhat more regular as of late. There was a long wait between Nonsuch and Apple Venus, certainly, but a five-year waiting period was never a regular thing for XTC fans. >or think >back to the ancient days of the beatles where all you got were official >releases every year or so...ih the humanity..how did we ever survive. You seem to be forgetting that the Beatles (and XTC) never charged $10 per month for their lack of releases. You paid money, and you got an album. You didn't pay money with the promise of maybe getting some music at some future time. I don't blame TMBG Unlimited subscribers for wanting to get their money's worth. >Remember folks, no one is putting a gun to your head to join tmbg >Unlimited..so lets give this thing a chance to work.. I'm not sure I WANT it to work. It seems as if its negative aspects outweigh its positive ones. Perhaps I'll eventually change my mind about this, but, from what I've heard subscribers say, it doesn't really sound as if Emusic is giving these people what they paid for. -- Eat your broccoli, Nathan DinnerBell@tmbg.org http://www.geocities.com/fablesto/ _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com From owner-tmbg-list@tmbg.org Thu Jan 4 13:19:47 2001 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by ussenterprise.ufp.org (8.9.3/8.9.2) id NAA96521 for tmbg-list-outgoing; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 13:19:47 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from owner-tmbg-list@tmbg.org) Received: from hotmail.com (f246.law7.hotmail.com [216.33.237.246]) by ussenterprise.ufp.org (8.9.3/8.9.2) with ESMTP id NAA96512 for ; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 13:19:46 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from xornom@hotmail.com) Received: from mail pickup service by hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 10:19:15 -0800 Received: from 64.192.26.1 by lw7fd.law7.hotmail.msn.com with HTTP; Thu, 04 Jan 2001 18:19:15 GMT X-Originating-IP: [64.192.26.1] From: "General Purplefeet" To: tmbg-list@tmbg.org Subject: Re: TMBG: The Unlimited Truth Date: Thu, 04 Jan 2001 18:19:15 -0000 Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Message-ID: X-OriginalArrivalTime: 04 Jan 2001 18:19:15.0586 (UTC) FILETIME=[D872BE20:01C0767A] Sender: owner-tmbg-list@tmbg.org Precedence: bulk Reply-To: "General Purplefeet" Bongo: > I didn't see the Emusic reply as calling us brats in any way.

I was checking out the CD101.com website just out of curiosity after reading your post. It turns out that they have posted an interesting list of their 2000 most requested songs from 1990 to 1999. I don't think that I've ever seen a list like this (that is, I've seen plenty of stations post *their* top songs, but never the *most requested* songs). Pretty interesting. TMBG is quite well represented with at least 19 songs on the list, including some pretty obscure ones (Sapphire Bullets, Cowtown, Narrow Your Eyes) pretty far down the list. But Birdhouse was right up there at #7. This seems to say to me that if radio stations actually played what people were asking for, then TMBG would be getting a lot more airtime. But, whatever.

But I'm not sure I agree with you about people not getting what they paid for. Emusic's offer was 12 months of tracks and that is what they are giving people. Sure, some folks may have thought they were getting even more than that, or that they were going to get these new tracks earlier than they will but they are going to get the tracks promised assuming the e-mail from Emusic is right. If someone thought they were going to get tracks from November, 2000 to October, 2001, well that's something to take up with Emusic. As far as I know people have not been charged more than the first month's $9.99, a month's worth of tracks, and not been able to download those first set of tracks. I think February's $9.99 charge was just charged or is going to be charged soon and that amount will go towards downloading February's tracks. Now if Emusic does not put up those tracks at the beginning of February that is a different story. But until that time I'm not sure that anyone can complain (apart from the slight screw-up of not defining when the intial month downloads would be for). I also am not sure I agree with you about whether this is a good format for getting new TMBG music. It is difficult for people without computers, but you could say almost the same thing for people without CD players. Sure CD players have been around a long time and are cheaper but music format changes are going to happen and the Internet is a very popular medium for most folks, just look at Napster. I'm sure that someone could get a copy of these songs on CD if they really tried. But the thing about all this that really hits me is the ease through which TMBG can record and distribute songs. All they need to do is write the songs, plop them onto computer format and wham, they can create tons of songs and distribute them to an unlimited number of people in the blink of an eye. There's no distribution costs that goes along with a material item such as a CD. I'd be interested to hear what might be a better way for TMBG to do this s easily? As for the songs, I enjoy them very much although I haven't had a chance to listen to them in a while. The Robert Lowell song is very cool, were the lyrics from a poem by Robert Lowell or did TMBG make them up modelling them after Robert Lowell or his poems? -Matt From owner-tmbg-list@tmbg.org Thu Jan 4 14:45:01 2001 Received: (from majordom@localhost) by ussenterprise.ufp.org (8.9.3/8.9.2) id OAA98747 for tmbg-list-outgoing; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 14:45:01 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from owner-tmbg-list@tmbg.org) Received: (from news@localhost) by ussenterprise.ufp.org (8.9.3/8.9.2) id OAA98732 for tmbg-list@tmbg.org; Thu, 4 Jan 2001 14:44:44 -0500 (EST) (envelope-from owner-tmbg-list@tmbg.org) Received: from GATEWAY by ussenterprise.ufp.org with netnews for tmbg-list@tmbg.org (tmbg-list@tmbg.org) To: tmbg-list@tmbg.org Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2001 14:40:20 -0500 From: "The Demonic Kangaroo" Message-ID: <932jrc$30db$1@ussenterprise.ufp.org> Organization: They Might Be Giants, Unofficially http://www.tmbg.org References: Subject: Re: TMBG: so cool ...

Linnell's voice is really appropriate for this song, though, so maybe Flans
wrote it, and gave it to his partner to sing.

Well, "not getting their money's worth" can be taken two different ways. One is that, if emusic said that subscribers were going to get something, and they weren't given it, then the subscribers aren't getting what they paid for. Some people are afraid of this, and understandably so, but I don't see emusic as having gone back on their word yet. Nonetheless, I still think that people "aren't getting their money's worth" in the sense that emusic is overcharging. Well, I suppose this is a point of some contention, since subscribers DO obtain access to the entire emusic catalog. Perhaps my complaint is not simply that the service costs too much, but that there's no way to get only TMBG. This isn't to say that, if I subscribed, I wouldn't download some non-TMBG stuff, because I would. If they made a way to get JUST the TMBG, and lowered the price, though, I would probably have signed up some time ago. The fact that you can only get it as a package deal really complicates matters. >Now if Emusic does not put up those >tracks at the beginning of February that is a different story.

I still don't know if you can say "most folks." Sure, a LOT of people have computers, and maybe it'll eventually reach the point where computerized music becomes the standard. I don't think that's come about yet, though. As for your point about people without CD players, well, looking at it from that point of view, I would say that CD is still a better format, because it's cheaper. I don't mean the CD's are cheaper, but a CD player is MUCH cheaper than a computer. Therefore, if I were in the odd position of only having an eight-track player, and not being interested in anything but having TMBG music, I'd definitely go for the CD's over the computer. >I'm sure that someone could get a copy of these songs on CD >if they really tried. Perhaps, but it isn't as easy as going to the store, picking out the CD, and giving the cashier some money. On the other hand, stores occasionally don't carry a certain album, or run out of stock, and getting this music on the Internet is more convenient than getting a special order. >But the thing about all this that really hits me is the ease through >which TMBG can record and distribute songs.

I don't think there IS a better way for them to do this easily, but there's still the question as to whether it would be better for TMBG not to release those songs. It's good for those of us who have computers and money, because we get to hear songs that might otherwise have never seen the light of day. Before, however, it was never really expensive to be a TMBG fan. Sure, there have been a few out-of-print EP's that that could generally only be purchased for outrageous amounts of money, but there were only a few songs on these. The majority of TMBG's catalog could be heard simply by buying their albums, and maybe occasionally calling up Dial-A-Song. Now, however, TMBG and emusic are essentially saying, "This stuff is for rich fans with computers and credit cards. Everyone else can keep on waiting for us to put out an album on CD." This is good business sense, but it seems unfair to those people who have bought TMBG's CD albums, but just can't afford this Unlimited stuff.
