Free music is good
Music 02/18/2004 |
I got my first free song from the iTMS today, thanks to the current promotion with Pepsi!
I’d been keeping an eye out for eligible bottles, but today was the first day I’d actually seen them. I picked one up on the way to work, popped the cap, and won right off the bat! Not bad at all — even with one out of three bottles being a “winner,” I hadn’t expected to find a good one right away.
Figuring out what to get wasn’t terribly difficult, either. Ever since I started listening to the CD I got from Kev and Emily at their wedding, I’d been convinced that I knew the Dolly Parton song “Travelin’ Prayer”, only I remembered it being a man singing it rather than a woman. While looking up songs on the iTMS for the previous post, though, I figured it out — she’s doing a cover of Billy Joel’s song “Travelin’ Prayer” off of his Piano Man album.
I knew I’d heard that somewhere before!

There’s a small pharmacy downstairs from my office and I usually stop in once a day on my breaks to pick up a Diet Pepsi and chat with the old guy who works there. They had the bottles stocked about 2 weeks before the Super Bowl. I’ve been winning a lot. So far it’s been about 15 songs.

I refuse to beleive that only one in three will win because I’m currently 7 for 9 with winners. I don’t think I know anyone who’s lost more than twice so far.

I won one of them, but I donated it to the Downhill Battle website (they use them specifically on non-RIAA music). I am starting to think drinking Pepsi might be cooler than it was before, if not for the sheer idea that by getting caffiene I can spite a major group of corporations’ hopes
