I gues that’s the States only. Wants to charge this Canadian a buck. Which is fair but I haven’t added pay info yet and I’m keeping it that way. Cool tunes listed though. ---

Looks like a way to promote Google+ (1000 free shares via Goggle+)? ---

I’m not seeing any reference at either link about a midnight deadline and is this just good for a single play? ---

> [@rsa](#): > > I’m not seeing any reference at either link about a midnight deadline and is this just good for a single play? As far as I know, once its downloaded its free and on your account… forever. My kid is saying its free for the download all week… but other sources are saying today/tonight only. OK, its silly and hokey and it may make you laugh at the absurdity of it all (I think its why I wanted to share it). Old SOBs like me though? Some of those songs have memories which are kinda fun to revisit. What I always said about Dark Shadows: Love the movie, but only The Raspberries version of “Go All The Way” works. Its Truly Amazing when they get the music right… ---

I just want to say that Google Play is vaguely creepy. In the “Recommended for You” section, they have songs that I recently Googled or Youtubed while researching some of the polls in Cafe Society. That’s really quite Orwellian. ---

In the “Recommended for You” section, they have songs that I recently Googled or Youtubed while researching some of the polls in Cafe Society. That’s really quite Orwellian. My favorite is still when I have someone visiting me, they email me their expedia receipt, and on the day of I see a notification on my phone about the plane being on time and when to leave at the airport. I never actually TOLD google about it, it just knows! It’s entertaining to me, but still vaguely creepy ---

It’s also annoying because someone will post a “What do you think of this video?” link and I’ll spend the next month having Google Play recommending Jennifer Lopez singles.
