In my recent drive to cut my personal expenses, one of the things I’ve managed to do pretty well is reduce the number of physical CDs I buy. There was a point not long ago that I was dropping, on average, $100 or more each week on new CDs. Luckily, eMusic and LaLa have made it pretty easy for me to get most of the CDs I want, and still make sure that the artist is getting its well-deserved royalty.

I didn’t expect this to be the case, but it turns out that a lot of the CDs coming out today that I want are actually available on eMusic. I’ll probably still pick up a couple of these at the store (I still have a Christmas gift card), but it’s good to see how up-to-date eMusic is.

Today’s interesting eMusic releases:

The Broken West, I Can’t Go On, I’ll Go On
David Vandervelde, The Moonstation House Band
The Honeydogs, Amygdala (I think this came out today, but could be wrong)
You Am I, Convicts

A couple of these are “incomplete” at eMusic, but I’m sure that will be remedied soon.
