What Momus stuff can you download?

[imomus]

Hello, I'm Momus and apart from being a blogger, an artist and a journalist, I'm a musician who's made umpteen albums and is making the humpty flipth right at this very moment. Now, I've been hearing that Momus albums are finally appearing on iTunes music store, but I gather that iTunes gives different results depending on where you are in the world. This is what I get when I search iTunes for Momus:



Perhaps because of a previous cookie, I seem to be getting the German iTunes store even though I'm now in Japan. So could anyone in any country who uses iTunes check what Momus material is available, and leave a comment here telling me what records of mine are up there? I'd also be interested to know what Momus stuff is available on eMusic or other services you know about for downloading music, and what comes up on any free p2p services you use.

Don't worry, I'm in favour of a "mixed economy" of online music, ie I'm quite happy that some stuff should be free and some should be for sale. Post anonymously if you have draconian persecution of music downloaders going on in your country.

I'll assume you're not in the Trombone Quartet.

I'm behind a nasty firewall at the moment, so I can't really check p2p services.

Ah, interesting, thank you! I see I flipped between the genres of electronica and rock in the space of two years (Stars Forever in 1999 and Folktronic in 2001)! And that previously I'd worked in the alternative and pop genres too! What a flip-flopper!

I'm a librarian. I classify things and get paid for it. iTunes and CDDB music classifications make me whimper.

I downloaded some Beatles songs, and the "genre" category was "Beatles." Perhaps you too, Momus, can form your own genre.

this is great. i'd forgotten completely about the possibility of itunes to get some of your music. sadly my copies of ping pong, the little red songbook and stars forever were stolen, along with my car, in 2003.

which reminds me--this is the first time I've listened to stars forever in years. what an incredible album, momus! truly outstanding. i wonder, was the feedback generally positive from the investors? i imagine paolo rumi was floored, but what about others, like kokoro hirai?

Yes, the investors were pretty happy, or if they weren't I went back and changed stuff. I remember Stephanie Pappas sort of sighing "I knew you were going to imply I'd slept with you!" (which of course wasn't the case, though I did end up sleeping with one Star Forever; no names, but it wasn't Jeff Koons). As for Kokoro Hirai, that's a bit of a mystery. To this day I don't know whether she was a real person or some sort of prank dreamed up by her "relatives", Taiko and Kazuko.
