Amazon Cloud Gets Bigger

I've got to do an update to my recent Tune-up column on the Amazon and Google cloud music services.

I couldn't believe my eyes a few minutes ago when playing music from my Amazon cloud I noticed where it once said I had just a few MBs of space left, it now says, "You have unlimited space."

Goodness Gussie, it was true! From an article in CNET posted last night:

For a limited time, Amazon customers who purchase a $20 annual Cloud Drive storage plan will receive unlimited storage space for their MP3 and AAC (.m4a) music files. Previously, Amazon Cloud customers automatically started with 5GB of free storage, upgradable to 20GB with the purchase of an Amazon MP3 album. Additional storage space could then be purchased in plans beginning at $20 per 20GB per year

Since Google launched its Google Music Beta, I've found that I've been using it far more than Amazon. I haven't quite even uploaded half of the 20,000 songs Google lets you store and I was almost at capacity on Amazon with just over 4,100 songs.

Assuming Amazon keeps its feature that lets you download songs -- which means your cloud is an actual storage locker for your music -- that alone makes it a better deal.

Looks like there are still some bugs though. My Amazon uploader just stalled before even starting to upload my massive collection. I'm assuming this will work itself out. If not, then disregard anything nice I said here.

Happy Fourth of July, Fellow Patriots

I've been Blipping some of these but in case you missed those, here they are:

Two years ago today I say The Blasters do this at the Hootenanny festival in Irvine, Calif. This 2010 video features Dave Alvin on lead guitar.



No video action here. Just enjoy this classic fleshtones song:



July 4, 1975: 6 or 7 of us crammed into Mustang convertible and drove from Albuquerque to Santa Fe to party. Turned on the radio and this song started playing. Come on dudes! Let's get it on!



Again, no video. Just a great American song by Wayne Kramer

Back in the Saddle Again

I'll be back hosting the Santa Fe Opry again tonight, 10 p.m. Mountain Time, after taking last week off. Thanks to Laurell Reynolds for sitting in for me.

Even more exciting, in case you haven't hear, KSFR is back on the air, 101. FM, so people in Santa Fe can listen to the show on the radio instead of these new-fangled computer things.

We still don't know whether out transmitter and tower survived the fire on Pajarito Mountain, but we've set up an emergency transmitter here in Santa Fe. Unfortunately the signal doesn't reach very far outside of Santa Fe, so if you're having trouble getting the station, you can still stream us. CLICK HERE

Speaking of forest fires, etc. here's one way to enjoy some fireworks in New Mexico this Independence Day weekend and not have everyone hate you:
