I need more categories. Could work on that tonight. Could not.
In the yet to be defined “send comments thru posts rather than e-mail” category, Joe is the man in charge of the WM21 preview, not me, though I’m willing to be his bouncer. Unless he’s passed it on and not told me.
You know, it’s a good thing no reads the W and this, because I’m pretty sure a case can be made about me being completely hypocritial in closing a thread about Matt/Lita/not_yet_Edge over there with a pithy ‘let it be’-type comment, and then rolling around in the stories’ mud a day later over here. But apparently I can get away with it because the crossover readership is that low? It’s so freaking awesome at times and so incredibly dispiriting at other times that there’s a link right there and no one uses it (yet it’s a valuable enough space for annoying graphics) and this is actually immensely more disappionting on the lucha side, thanks for asking.
(This is where I make the O2 vague comment, but I’ve got nothing – except I sent it FROM the right e-mail TO the right e-mail for the first time in forever last night and I couldn’t even believe it.)
Anyway, in celebration of my 1,000nd comment (Mix’s live notes from Saturday’s Horizon Semifinal – next year, my goal is to have *three* people care), I have an underwhelming idea.
On the 6th try (13% chance of missing on five straight, not quite clue in a haystack bad but annoying), I finally won one of them ‘get a free song off iTunes’ dealies.
My free music selection was going to be “Ghetto Superstar” by Pras, the result of too much Fugees to the head recently (and because I can’t figure the title of the awesomely bizaree Price Is Right theme music dance re-mix they sometimes play at Bulls games), but it’s not available there. Most of the album is – no singles for him? No movie tie in songs? dunno.
I’m left with a a coupon for a free song and no clear idea on what to use it on, so let me flip it around:
If you could get one song free off iTunes, which would it be?
Doesn’t have to be a new song. Doesn’t have to be a good song. Doesn’t have to be a song I’d like, though I’d like it if it was. Doesn’t have to be a song you don’t own. Doesn’t even strictly have to be a song on iTunes – simply, what’s the one song you want right now?
Just trolling for ideas.
Even though I don’t have an iPod, a Mac, or an iTunes interface, I’ll humor you on this one:
“Your Love” by the Outfield
I’m not entirely sure why, but it was the first thing to pop into my head.
(And at least people occasionally comment on you site. I’m lucky to get one comment in two weeks.)
And I don’t read the W, but I read your site. Weird.
War Toad, the Peace Frog remix by Robby Krieger, used last year by ESPN for the X games.
(not available on iTunes)
Cirlce in the Round by Miles Davis.
I read you and the W. This is your site, so if you want to talk about it here it’s your call. If you closed it at the W because you felt that’s how it should be handled for that site in that instance, fine. Two separate cases to me.
I read The W sometimes because I want Z to make me a moderator, but he refuses because I’ve only posted like 10 times in 3 years.
If I could get any one song on iTunes, I would wait until tomorrow and get Ben Folds’ iTunes-exclusive cover of Dr. Dre’s Bitches Ain’t Shit. Sadly, I don’t know if I can get that on the Canadian iTunes store.
I really don’t visit the W, but I will visit here a few times a day.
I would get “Float On” by Modest Mouse. I dig that song.
And I will be both large AND in charge of the WM preview.
Obviously nobody READS The W. They only POST at it.
Geezum crow, Cubs, you should be hitting 100% on free iTunes because you can LOOK THROUGH THE BOTTLE to the underside of the cap when you hold it at just the right angle and tell whether it says “PLEASE TRY AGAIN” or “(random characters) FREE SONG”. I must have given Kim half a dozen free songs already.
I must have bad eyesight because I can never pull that trick off; I’m back on a 0-2 run, yeeha.
(the song ended up being Ben Folds NWA cover for James which I did a horrible job ripping – but you did get it from Gleine, right?)
Jamie Cullum’s delightful little cover of Pharrell Williams’s Frontin’. Cullum is a 22-year-old British jazz singer — he’s no Sinatra, but you can pick out the swagger in his voice easily enough. Good pick if you ever wanted to imagine how The Neptunes would sound if they wanted to play to the NPR crowd.
Also, if you have a Hardees’ or a Carl’s Jr. you can get a free MusicMatch song every time you buy a large drink. I have four so far.
