Free iTunes Worth Having
Every week iTunes gives away a couple songs. Usually by artists you've never heard of; usually not worth keeping on your hard drive for any length of time, let alone transferring to your iPod. They're seldom bad songs, but I guess they either hit you right or they don't.
This week I'm digging their selections.
"Put Your Records On" by Corrine Bailey Rae has an infectious cheerfulness that fits well with sunshine-y, late Spring mornings (and it keeps your spirits up when gray clouds roll in around 10 o'clock, too).
"Aqua" by Moncef Genoud is nine minutes of up-tempo jazz (yeah, the sax comes in slowly but it's honking right along soon thereafter). Nine minutes (well, 8:58): that's like two bucks' worth of music for free. Whatabargainforme.
Not all is Peaches & Herb at iTunes, though. I'm confident this is a sign of impending apocalypes. Be very afraid.
Fortunately the two free tracks'll keep you bebopping your way through the rain of sulfurous, burning hailstones. (Little girls double-Dutch on the concrete ... Go ahead, let your hair down.) Check 'em out.
