Bought some new tunes...
When I wrote the last bit, I hadn't spent much time in the store yet. This time, I was shopping. I love the new exclusives and bought 3 of them so far: Sheryl Crow's extended version of Safe and Sound is very different from the cut on her latest album which I already have. Alicia Keys *album* of two exclusive cuts: Fallin' from the Ali soundtrack - her favorite version - and Someday We'll All be Free, another favorite. I have her album too. This is a way to get a little fix before their next albums come out. Or maybe, life will never be the same and we won't be waiting for albums anymore.
This is SO fun. I also bought a couple cuts off of Faith Hill's new Cry album and two off of Christina Aguilera's latest - Stripped. I have their previous albums but thought I would see if I can figure out which tracks are their best and skip buying the CDs this time. While I was researching my track purchases over at RollingStone.com, I stumbled upon Faith's Cry video. Very enjoyable. I played it about three times.
The cover art is definitely part of the impulse-buy formula. You listen to the 30 second clip, you look at the cover art and when the stars go into alignment, you click *buy*. The next thing you know iTunes' little download bar is extending across the screen and you have the song ready to play. This is working for me. I'm thinking, I've got 8 great new songs - I can burn a CD for my car. Feels like a deal. Total damages - just under $8. Pretty good for what felt like a shopping spree! I better go to bed now, it's late. See you tomorrow.
