I did that with about 4 albums. Those were the days, working with a bunch of pepsi drinkers that didn't know what MP3's were. "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your caps."

There's a really nice lady at work who collects everyone's empty cans & bottles and turns them in for some medical fund for her husband or something.
I convinced her that I would "trade" my empty soda bottles for the yellow caps from Pepsi products. She laughed and asked why, and after I explained that I'm like a crack addict when it comes to music, and she'd be really helping me afford my habit she agreed.
Although the best thing we heard from another person at work was "what's an iTune? I keep winning these things and throwing them out because I don't know what they are!" Sarah quickly put a stop to that thank goodness, and scored us a couple more.

Unfortunately, my coworkers not only know what an 'iTune' is, but they're fiends about getting caps as well, so our vending machine ran dry twice last week. Two of them have iPods that need constant feeding, like mine ....

I did not know that. Well, if for some bizarre reason I get to 200 songs, I'll post the codes and let you guys fight over them.
Is there a way to check how many you've won?

Hey People:
I know I sound like a broken record so bear with me.
For those of you with Comcast on Demand check out the Uranium Dimebag Darrell Tribute Show. Go to On Demand, Music, Fuse Specials, Dimebag Tribute. Its about a half an hour long and its a good watch. This guy was all the reasons I love metal. Take a look.
FIRE IT UP!

Unknown, but there's also a limit of 10 per day. That's a lot of damn Pepsi.

As much as I don't like hip hop, MC Lars is pretty funny.
Plus he samples Piebald on "iGeneration" which is friggin' sweet.

A while back I discovered the link to One Wall Room on Purevolume in the memberlist. I just gotta say, I like Honestly a lot. I'm listening to it right now. Is that a mandolin, or a guitar being played high on the frets?

Really? That's cool!
Honestly was recorded at my grandmothers house when we found a ukelele.
That's probably going to be the hidden track on our CD when we finish up the last 2 songs.

Switchfoot Issues Apology For New Album
Popular beat combo Switchfoot has apologised to its fans after Sony released its latest album with content protection.
Band member Tim Foreman wrote to a fan site that his heart was heavy with this whole copy-protection thing.
Foreman said he was horrified when he learnt that Sony had released the band’s latest album Nothing is Sound with some copy protection.
"We immediately looked into all of our options for removing this from our new album. Unfortunately, this is the new policy for all new major releases from these record companies." he said.
He said it was heartbreaking to see the band’s “blood, sweat, and tears” over the past two years blurred by the confusion and frustration surrounding this new technology.
He said that many PC users have posted problems that they have had importing the new songs (regular disc only) into programs such as Itunes.
“Let me first say that as a musician AND as a music fan, I agree with the frustration that has been expressed,” he said.

Black Eyed Peas: A Review Of Sorts
by Kevin Brennan
Ok, I have to say these guys are amazing. Not only do they write and perform catchy tunes that make people throw millions of dollars at them, but they are dancing machines that will put Napoleon Dynamite to shame. The sheer amount of lyrical and music mastery behind what they do really is beyond words.
But then again, I'm generally not one to back down from a challenge, and this my friends sounds like a challenge.
I'm only going to concentrate on one particular song. And what better song than the #3 Top Downloaded song on iTunes? That's right kids, "My Humps".
Here's the lyrics, feel free to sing along A Cappella style at the top of your lungs. Fortunately the web page I got the lyrics from was nice enough to tell me who sang the magical words, so that way you can have a friend join you for Karaoke A Cappella of this song. You know you want to. And you know you want to post it on here as a tribute to the no doubt future Rock & Roll Hall of Fame members Black Eyed Peas. (You might argue that they aren't really rock, but when I was there last year they had a whole section for boy bands and teen pop.)
Trust me on this, you NEED to read all the words to truly appreciate this song, and this review of sorts.

I have just recently found www.pandora.com
This is a program that plays tracks generated by your preferences. Basically the same idea as Yahoo!'s music engine, but I have found it to be much more likeable. Plus the stuff played is just so random.
Moron is my favorite palindrome!

In my opinion, one of the funniest things on the web is the Your Band Sucks feature on Something Awful. For those of you who haven't read it, it's a guy named "Dr." David Thorpe who basically picks a band for each article and rips it apart. The articles are pretty funny, but the funniest part is the hate mail he recieves from fans who's entire identity is wrapped up in the band that he made fun of. If he recieves enough, he will do an entire article with just the hate mail.
One of my personal favorites is the article about System of a Down and the following hilarious hate mail article.
But here's a real goldmine. He broke from his usual routine and did an article about how to be an insufferable pretentious music snob without knowing anything about music entitled How to Fake It. It include a bunch of useful strategies for how to pretent you've heard of a band when you haven't, and how to act superior and snotty when someone reveals what music they like. I have to admit, I can be accused of being a pretentious music snob occasionally. If you are one too, then this article will be really funny. Also check out the next one, How to Fake It: Reader Advice. Some people wrote in with some pretty good ones.
