I don't spend money on music anymore. It's not that I don't have the money, it's just that between Pandora and my CDs from High School and college, combined with a declining urge to invest time in music collecting, I haven't felt compelled to spend money on music; I'd rather spend it on more important things like coffee.
This past Christmas, however, I received a $5 MP3 download credit from Amazon.com, and my parents gave me AC/DC's Black Ice for Christmas (I have pretty cool parents) which came with one free music download from walmart.com. So in total, I had six free downloads to use, and I'm proud to say, as of today, I managed to decide what to spend my hard earned free credits on. I was a tough three weeks of deliberation, but now that I've used them, I'm proud of my choices.
I came across this song on Pandora. While I work I'll typically let the music fade into the background of my consciousness, but this song was cool enough to grab my attention. Bonus: I checked out the video and the lead singer is balding. I like bald guys who rock. Double bonus: turns out that my brother had the exact same experience with this song. We must both have good taste in music, and similar Pandora stations.
I don't need to explain myself with these two. If you haven't heard The Darkness, then you're missing out. It's a shame Youtube cut the audio out of
video for the first song...you can at least still enjoy a
live version.
This is one of those catchy post-grunge numbers that also caught my attention on Pandora.
This has been around a while, and I always enjoyed it. Apparently Trent Reznor put out a
whole album of remixes. If I had more free credits at the time, I may have just downloaded that bad boy.
I like value. This song is 7+ minutes so I definitely get my free credit's worth out of it. It's just three chords, over and over, but it's frickin' awesome. I need to adapt the lyrics so we can do it in church sometime.
