Well this is my last post for ASMW. I have thought about this for a while now. Recent response from Amie Street, or lack of response, has led me to to stop working on making improvements.

Amie Street is still the only play that I get music from. I still believe in their business. I just don’t feel that I should have to get someone to reprogram a player, parse html and figure out how to get things going.

I would like to thank the people at Amie Street for their time. I know that the new site takes a greater priority then helping getting ASMW back up and running. Heck, I even heard that the promo sign up for $5 doesn’t put $5 into your account right away. I don’t know if it ever does.

So I’m going to close this chapter in my life. It was something that was great for a time, but has passed its prime. Getting back into the swing of doing post every week after the hassle I have had over the past month would be hard. So long ASMW, it was a great year and few months.

Also, a thank you needs to go out to everyone that helped make ASMW great. It was great and I enjoyed listening to everyone’s pick of the week.

I still have not been able to get in touch with AS about ASMW. I am working with my brother to get this fixed asap though. The new site design that he made is up and running and you can check it out over at ASMW.

We are looking to implement new features into ASMW. We are also hoping that we will be able to support more blogs this way. We will have a code generator that will help with getting it all done.

So keep checking out the site. More than likely by next week ASMW will be back in full swing, new and improved.

I was browsing Amie Street this morning, we will say I started at 1am so I don’t feel bad for being up late, and I was looking around the beta site, testing it out and all. I like to stay as current as I can with Amie Street and what is happening. I took the opportunity to use a tool on the beta site for this weeks recommendation. I like the new recommendation tool on Amie Street’s beta site, but I also like the ability to see the latest artist that get posted to Amie Street on the current site. I’m really torn.

I found an album that was a compilation of other albums or artist for a record label. It is strange to see record labels posting on Amie Street, mainly because they are DRM free and support the independent artist. I wanted to give Hush Records props for posting song that are held by their label. It also appears that this album is still free and that many people have down loaded it and recommended it though the site. You know what? As of 1:20am, this album is still free. So hats off to you Hush Records.

For the song this week I liked the first song on this copulation of music. It just spoke to me and I don’t really know why, I just enjoyed it. The song is by Novi Split and will end up as a favorite of mine. Just something about it draws me to it. I’m sure it is the same thing that draws me to other music like it. The notes, with the lyrics, and over all the way it was done.

The album is filled with music of a similar taste. It would bee good to just program to, if your not in a hurry. I don’t think that it is something that I will end up playing all of the time, but you never know. I will have to see.

As I sit here typing this up, I realize that the album is nice and relaxing. The soft music of Nick Jaina is quite pleasent. I need to get to sleep and this is a nice relaxing song. So, if you have not signed up for Amie Street, then do so. If you follow this link, then you will get $5.00 put into your account by Amie Street. This is a great deal. Amie Street has allowed ASMW to continue bringing you music every week. They have also provided ASMW with different players, and the opportunity to offer $5.00 to people that sign up though this link.

I hope that you have enjoyed this weeks selection.

This week at showcase number 49 we have Krush Klamath. Krush Klamath is a punk band. According to their website, the band will be playing its last show is the 1st of November. Really sad considering that I just found them. Guess they figured that they needed to earn a living some other way. I do enjoy the sound of this band though.

So what song should I pick. I really enjoyed Can’t Skate. It reminds me of when I was trying to learn how to play the game Skate. I think that it should be on the sound track for Skate II but I don’t make those calls. I can put it on my Xbox for now though and play it when I play the current Skate game.

I did enjoy listening to the rest of the album as well. It is punk music and fast paced. Very enjoyable when you slam a Volt soda and need to get things done.

It is October. This is by far the best time of the year. The month of November is great as well here in Georgia. It is Horror movie moth as well the turning of the leaves, and when reminder that death hits us all. Such a great time of year.

As for the creepy stuff this week we have The Creepshow. They are a punk band. I have really enjoyed the selection of punk type music that I have been building up on Amie Street. The Creepshow just rocked.

I love the drum beat behind Demon Lover. Of course, there isn’t even a reason to ask, the female vocals rock as well. I keep telling you, I’m addicted to rocking females. Heck, It is one thing that really attracted me to my wife.

The entire album is worth a listen. I enjoyed the entire album.
