I received an email a few days ago from a pizza chain promising 75 free MP3 downloads if I just clicked on their little link. The link brought me to a site that is actually a subscription music service, and I had to sign up for a subscription before it would allow me access to my 50 free downloads (not 75 as promised) during a limited 14-day trial period. If I don’t cancel my subscription before the trial period ends, I have to pay for at least the next month’s service.
So now I’m madly trying to find 50 songs I want to download ASAP so I can get my music and cancel the subscription. The trouble is, I’m either drawing a blank on music I want, or the songs I’m looking for aren’t available. I’ve manged to use 26 downloads already, only some of which was stuff I really wanted, so I’m asking for your help. What songs should I get to add to my music collection? I’m truly at a bit of a loss.
Tom Petty – American Girl
Neil Young — Unknown Legend (from Unplugged)
Blue Oyster Cult — The Reaper
More later…
My suggestions may not be available, or may seem a bit off the beaten path – but give them an initial listen. They could be worth it.
Chaiyya Chaiyya Bollywood Joint featuring Panjabi MC (from Inside Man soundtrack) (artist Sapna Awasti)
Hagia Sofia (artist Irfan)
From Heaven to Dust (Azam Ali)
Pokinoi (Sasha Remix – Cirque du Soleil, Solarium/Delerium)
Mer Noire (DJ Tiesto Remix – Cirque du Soleil, Solarium/Delerium)
Black Market (artist Bear McCreary – from Battlestar Galactica (2003) season 2 soundtrack)
If it’s the chain and music site I’m thinking of (I got the same email, and used to be a member of the music site), then… good luck. I end up hauling lots of electronica out of there (BT!) and also, if you like comedy albums, they have George Carlin and Lewis Black and much more.
