Rumor: DRM-free iTunes this week

Gizmodo is reporting that DRM-free tracks from EMI could be hitting the virtual shelves this week. This got me excited because I had been looking forward to an easy way to actually pay for music online without having all sorts of restrictions on what I do with this music when I get it. I started to wonder however, if there were any artists on EMI that I actually care about. I managed to find a list and there are quite a few artists that I had been listening to:

• Lily Allen
• The Beastie Boys
• Blur
• Depeche Mode
• Duran Duran
• Fischerspooner
• Goldfrapp
• Kelis
• Lenny Kravitz
• The Magic Numbers
• OK Go
• Liz Phair
• Iggy Pop
• Moby

Most of these are artists that I had been listening to for a while, or that I picked up by listening to Pig Radio, which I can not recommend highly enough if you like Indie Rock, Techno and Electro Pop. The only exception is Lily Allen, who I had heard on Pig Radio, but didn’t really become interested in until Karl. played a few of her tracks over some EVE one afternoon.
