The setlist for Metallica's acoustic Bridge School Benefit gig blows my mind:

I Just Want To Celebrate (Rare Earth)
Please Don't Judas Me (Nazareth)
Only Happy When It Rains (Garbage)
Brothers In Arms (Dire Straits)
Disposable Heroes
All Within My Hands
Turn the Page
Nothing Else Matters

Anyone that predicted that is a liar.

Purchase the show in MP3 or FLAC

I can't imagine what they might do tomorrow. Although the last time they played Bridge School the two nights had the same setlist.

Meanwhile, Vince Dicola is also selling his music in FLAC format via Mindawn. "Artistic Transformations" is excellent for fans of solo piano, even if you are unaware of the Transformers The Movie soundtrack.

It's excellent to see independent music stores filling the niche yet to be touched by Amazon MP3 or iTunes.

Lossless rules.

My independent internet music career poster boy hero, Jonathan Coulton, is now selling his catalog in FLAC format. That is, lossless!

You can buy his entire catalog for $70 if you're up for it, or $1 per song, the same price as his MP3 store. I highly recommend "Code Monkey" or his cover of "Baby Got Back" as starters.

Or if you prefer a high carbon footprint for your music, you can always buy it printed on a piece of plastic and have it sent half way around the world, adding your share to the destruction of the planet. It's up to you!
