so, i've got about 120 free songs to download on iTMS.

yesterday, I won the new Weezer disk.

Saturday, Kelmeister loaded up 2 cds worth of music for me.

today, i signed up for launchcast thru Yahoo, and i ordered a SD 1GB card for my Rio. yeah, i coulda picked it up locally (Meijer's having a sale, making the prices comparable to online stores), but I ended up getting it online because I saved $7, even with shipping.

friday, i got more than a taste of Ryan Adams, and Rachael Yamagata, and I liked them both... but I get the feeling that she's less angry on her album, and that he's an ass (but can make good music). Mr. B is lending me some of his tunes, and Mrs. T is lending me the Yamagata stuff. I need to also convince Mr. T to lend me his Magnetic Fields collection.

And then there's the tape-trader's club we used to have. I'm thinking I might start that up again. And, I've downloaded software for podcasting. And, I think I'm going to subscribe to CMJ:NMM again, and Heavy Music. And, I might give myself an iTMS allowance, too.

And of course, my friend's cat, Communist J. Cat, has his own secret stash of mp3s online... it's ALL good stuff, and Commie's yearly compilations are great for road trips. (Reminder to self: send Commie's owner a check for hosting).

Lunchtime. Know what that means? That's right -- nothing. I've got to (sometime today) make it down to the Brewery District during business hours and collect my CD... I'm thinking I'll skip lunch and get movin around 3, so I can get home quick.

Update: More new music... apparently, I renewed my subscription to Salon? Kick ass. More free music to download. And it's available by RSS feed, too. Mmm. I can taste the free music goodness.
