Today the Country Music Association announced that Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood will reunite to hose The 43rd Annual CMA Awards on Wednesday, November 11, 2009.  Last year the Arista Records labelmates both won CMA Vocalist awards.

Once lampooned by mainstream music fans as a download service for hipster indie music lovers, eMusic has now decidedly gone mainstream with their partnership with Sony Music to provide Sony's rich back catalog for downloads for an economical .50 cents a song.

In a move I long suspected was going to happen, eMusic announced a partnership with Sony Music Entertainment to offer citizens of the USA access to more than 200,000 'catalog' tracks from their vaults of major label music.  Is this good or bad for the indie music loving site?
