New Music: French Kicks-”Abandon”

French Kicks have a new album out! Download Abandon from the link above. eMusic doesn’t have the album yet, but I think they will get it in May.

I’ve had an eMusic account for over a year now, and overall I am happy with the service. If you know what you are looking for, it is straight forward to find it on eMusic (if they have it). But it still lacks the ability to correctly predict bands that should interest you based on past downloads. Last.fm does a much better job at this partly because Last.fm is not limited by the size of their catalog, and secondly eMusic makes recommendations based on what you download, not what you play. eMusic should adopt some of the ideas used in Last.fm in order to make more accurate recommendations. Maybe eMusic could import your user profile from Last.fm to better understand the music you like, and if the music is not available for download on eMusic, they could use this data to persuade more artist/labels to make their music available on eMusic.

My downloads refreshed today (I pay for 30/month), but I have to wait until the site is operating before I can download anything.
