There are some things that just don't need to be expressed, not on a record. Go back to Songs for Silverman, if you want to hear an album with 6 breakup songs. A lot of people didn't notice it at the time, but listen to the lyrics. I would have heard that and gone, "There's this big glowing dedication to this guy's wife on the cover, but listen to the center of it, there's something going on here...

...Sept. 24 launch of MySpace Music has made it easier to find and listen to free, major-label music on the Web. But it's not the only game in town. As online-music aficionados already know, there are several other free sites where you can pretty much do the same thing, including Imeem, Last.fm and SpiralFrog.

Indeed, compared to MySpace, which has about 71 million U.S. users (17 million of whom already listen to music regularly on the site), Imeem is relatively unpopulated. It has about six million unique visitors in the U.S. and 17 million worldwide, according to Quantcast. "They have a dedicated but very small constituency," notes NPD entertainment analyst Russ Krupnick. Part of the problem is Imeem's jumbled interface, which is so focused on community that it's not immediately obvious what the site is even about. Part of it is legacy: Imeem, which was co-founded by engineers from the original...

...Those of us who bother to skim the “Community Advisories” usually skip the last three paragraphs—which always offer the same strategies for staying safe. We’re warned not to talk on cell phones or listen to iPods as we make our way home, and to remain in well-lit areas as often as possible. If we notice any suspicious individuals, we should call for help immediately. Most of all, HUPD instructs each of us to “trust your instincts...
