I do it all the time, too. Mostly with used CD's, though. School of
Fish was the most recent, just for the name. I didn't really like it,
but it was 3 dollars.
I, too, wouldn't be a "fan" of Them if I hadn't just bought one of the
CD's. Factory Showroom, actually. Bad one to start with (small note:
this does not mean I think Factory Showroom is bad, I just prefer all
the other albums to it.) I bought all the other albums within 2
weeks. That's my story.

I dig it too. I haven't browsed through there stuff much yet but I found some Ennio Morricone CDs that I was planning to buy anyway. So for me, it might pay for itself. I'd rather have the actual discs and avoid the time and hassle of downloading the tracks (one at a time for us Mac users), naming the file, burning it to CD and writing the tracklist somewhere. Despite that, its a good deal. If you already have all the previous TMBG CDs (which most fans do) and you have no intention of downloading other emusic artists, then I think its over priced. Maybe they should offer a TMBG *Limited* version for $4 a month that lets you download only the new TMBG.

They would have a lot of nerve to send you one with an emusic logo on it. They show images of the fleece with the TMBG Unlimited logo. Of course that doesn't necessarily mean they exist.
Another thing: Their pitch for the fleece says "just in time for winter!" but they aren't going to ship it until January at the earliest (when you agree to continue the service). There's an option to have it sent out now by agreeing to forego the trial period and start paying immediately. Apparently, that means being charged for December. So it seems to me that you'd be paying an extra $10 to have it now.
I anticipate my fleece arriving in April along with emusic's TMBG Xmas songs.

Decent is a kind of judgemental term, don't you think?

My..I guess im indecent AND stupid...and all this time I thought I was just a
bit technically challenged!!
I for one have put my emusic mp3 in a non-shared folder, but bastard Napster
always seems to find them. I swear, either I am a complete idiot (not
everyone at once, please) or Napster blows off my preference commands. The
nerve!
