–**– The Blog Without A Bloody Annoying Tagline –**–
26 more bands added today and I’m still finding bands that I didn’t know in the original lineup. I’m genuinely excited even though I know the weather’s likely to suck. And I haven’t booked transport yet. And Brexit will probably, to some extent, bugger things up.
I headed to a gig tonight, my third or fourth time seeing King King. This time they were headlining the O2 Academy with support from the also wonderful Sari Schorr. I wasn’t really in the mood for going out (I rarely am these days) but King King made it worthwhile as ever.
Gig review and some fantastic pictures from Sean Larkin over on the Moshville Times site.
The photos I took at the gig were a bit crap so I went with the tour poster. Full review will be up on the Moshville Times website in the next day or so, but it was good to see Buckcherry again and to be introduced to Adelitas Way.
I was going to post a photo from tonight’s excellent Powerwolf gig (review soon on Moshville Times, plug-plug), and then I grabbed this drumstick. I also didn’t make the mistake of giving it to someone else after the rather shitty response I got last time I did that. Sorry, miserable woman at previous gig. You ruined my generosity for others.
Yes, it’s possible. The instructions are buried on one help page amongst dozens and you’re limited to downloading one at a time… but you can do it. Personally I’m just loathe to install a piece of software just to download one album every third blue moon, which is as often as I buy music from Amazon. One of the reasons for this is their insistence on making you install crapware just to get at the items you’ve legally purchased.
So, go to Amazon and purchase your album. Click the option to go to the Cloud Player not the one to download.
Locate and select one track to download by ticking its checkbox in the left hand column.
Click on the “Download (1)” button and you’re presented with the usual “Click this huge button to install the crappy download software” popup. Down at the bottom of this box is a little link to “Skip installation”. Click this instead.
You’ll now get your usual download dialogue allowing you to actually gain possession of the media you paid money for.
You can download more than one track at a time if you’re quick enough to uncheck one box, check the next one and click “Download (1)” again. This time you won’t get the annoying popup, instead just being presented with your web browser’s standard download dialogue.
Why Amazon have to make thing so bloody awkward, I don’t know. A simple “click to download ZIP” or similar would do the job. Regardless, I now have my free Nuclear Blast album downloaded so I can pop it on my phone and listen in the car. Happy now.
