Flogging molly + Emusic = Crazy Delicious

So I started using the service at emusic.com again; it is a subscription based music service where you pay a fee per month and get a certain number of downloads.  It isn't a rental program, but a program where you actually get to keep the music you buy. They have a wide selection of music, but have a tendency to focus on independent and smaller label musical groups. Which is fine by me, really.

They also have no Digital Rights Management on any of their songs; so you can copy, burn, chop up, put on your xbox/ps3/psp, do whatever with them to your hearts desire.

 They are the second largest online store for MP3s, behind the uberness of Itunes. Of course you can use emusic files on your Ipod because, as I said before, there is no DRM.

I like that.

 So I tried this service last year for a bit and kind of dug what they had to offer.  I didn't continue my subscription, however, since money and I didn't get along very at that point.  (Money left my hands pretty quickly, mainly due to bad decisions on my part...yee ha.)

So recently I ended up getting a email from Emusic asking me to to come back. They offered 75 tracks on top of the 30 you get with the 10 dollar a month subscription price. 105 tracks for 10 bucks? Even if I only stay a month or two it is still worth it. I signed up and have had the 105 tracks sitting there for a bit.

So tonight I decided to see if they had some bands that I like, but for who I don't own the albums. First group I thought about is Flogging Molly, the punk/celtic/irish/traditional/metal band. I love me some Molly. I wanted to see them for Saint Patties day this year, but couldn't. To my suprise Emusic has all of their albums on file. Which is very awesome; which also means I know where a good portion of those 105 music tracks are going to purchase.

w00t.

 Now I want to drink a Pint, get in a fight, and play my guitar really loudly with an acompaning fiddler. Sometimes the Irish in me just wants to come out ;)
