RIP MCA

Coldplay generally sucks, but their tribute to MCA is sweet. Impressive. Thanks to Eric Lax for this one.

MCA - RIP.

Ratings Systems

Merch Rating
Cold hard cash -- merch (merchandise) says it all, right? This is pretty arbitrary, but includes whether I would go to the show, buy the next album, buy a t-shirt at the show, get the band's old albums, etc.

CD Placement Rating
This is more structured but steeped in geekdom.

- Car iPod = Best new
- Portable CD Case = Great or VG
- CD Rack = Good
- Sell-Back 1 = Good to bad with some tracks worth keeping
- Pile of Death = A complete mistake, no redeeming value

The Compilation Ripoff Index
This consists of two components:

- The casual fan summary (which ideally has a high index - all the "hits" are included)
- The hardcore fan ripoff factor (which ideally has a low index - there is some real value for the completist)

Unfortunately, it's usually the other way around.
