Oh, man, I died and went to heaven.

A while back somebody linked to a Ben & Jerry promotion where you promise to vote in the national election (always have!) and the first however many got a code for a free download from iTunes. I figured what the heck, maybe there'd be something I'd want.

Now, I've said for YEARS that if I could electronically buy individual songs for a reasonable price, I'd jump on it. And post-napster, as a few "legal buy" websites popped up, I'd checked a couple of them. And it was a matter of oh, I could buy them... if I was interested in songs from experimental bands I'd never heard of. No thanks.

Well, tonight I went ahead and installed iTunes and went to see what they had to use my free song. Whoa. I used my free song and have bought nine more already. Wheeee.

Got a version of "Turn the World Around" - Brendan will be happy.

Ahh, wish I'd seen that. Yeah, iTunes is FUN...

Very cool. I'm waiting for a bit longer; I need the hardware to be able to play such items at will.

Addictive as heck, isn't it? I cringe to think how many songs I have purchased from iTunes. And re-bought; some of the stuff I had on vinyl once upon a time like the Disney movie soundtracks of my childhood, I got on the 'pod now. Yay!

You should see the Luau playlist I have accumulated for the Hawaii 5-0 birthday party. Some of it is silly of course, like Spike Jones, but why not?

Oh, man, Spike Jones! I would have never thought to search on him. Thank you!

I wish we could come to the party. Have fun. I'd love to see the playlist.
