I cashed in my jar of pennies this morning and opted for Coinstar’s iTunes gift certificate option.
I have $8.45 to spend and I’m looking for specific song recommendations.
Any artist, any genre, of any kind. First 9 suggestions get bought, no questions asked…
I will post my song reviews back here.
Peanuts by The Police
Tamacun, by Rodrigo y Gabriela
Dream by Priscilla Ahn, which is my current earworm.
Dollar Dance, by Hepcat
Trudy Dies by Scout Niblett
Arturo Sandoval’s “Tito” from the album Hot House.
Strange Beam by Rebelgrooves
Icky Thump by The White Stripes
Red Paint by The Promise Ring.

RumMonkey**, I bought this is as soon as it became available and I really like it. It looks like the White Stripes are back to their pared-down style. Do you have the entire album? Good?
I just used iTunes for the first time last night because I got a gift card for it. The only song I got so far was “Cool for Cats” by Squeeze. I love that guy’s Cockney accent!
“The Bad Bump” by Linda James
New Slang by The Shins
“That’s how I got to Memphis” by Solomon Burke. Only 88 cents at Walmart.
I do! It’s very good. Some blues numbers, a rockabilly number and some really good, driving White Stripes-sounding stuff.
Going to see them in July too! Yay!
What happened to the reviews? We’re all, by which I mean I’m, eagerly awaiting them.
Top 10 Songs of '07
Bloc Party - I Still Remember (passionate, beautiful UK post punk, with added gay romance.)
Miranda Lambert - Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (firebrand country that even people who don’t like country can love.)
Justin Timberlake - What Goes Around… Comes Around (spiteful R&B pocket symphony. If you have very large pockets.)
Rihanna - Umbrella (The perfect storm.)
Bright Eyes - Four Winds (Conor Oberst tries to give a State of the Union address and almost succeeds)
Vampire Weekend (Don’t know if it’s on iTunes yet, but get in on the ground floor before the hype blows through the roof. Afro-pop on Cape Cod.)
Maroon 5 - Makes Me Wonder (White rock guys like disco. Good thing, because they do it better than they do rock.)
R. Kelly - Same Girl (R. Kelly and Usher are dating the same girl. Hilarity ensues!)
Justice - D.A.N.C.E. (Daft Punk on the Spelling Bee)
Crime Mob - Circles (Crunk’s lovestruck battle of the sexes)
OK, I see this is old. Buy those songs anyway.
Cool song. This was a free “Discovery download” a few weeks ago. Might still be available but if not everyone should definitely take advantage of the free releases that come out every Tuesday. Not always to my taste but hell, it’s free.
