BMG RIP

Carrie Brownstein reports about the end of the BMG music service and reminisces about her use and abuse of the service. I think I was a relatively limited user signing up only three or four times. They were all in college so I had a different address each time. I beleive it provided my first exposure to Pixies, Primus, the Grateful Dead (Ok, not really, but my first purchase of the Dead at least) and many others.

My biggest BMG mistake was getting a Pogues CD as a monthly selection and sending it back! A year later, thanks to my Irish-American Catholic roomate, I was a gigantic fan. I'm sad to see it go, but I can take solace in the massive music fountain that is hypem.com.
