the shopping issue

you said you wanted to buy new music in the new year. and here's how you can save money doing it. best buy is selling itunes gift cards for 15% off, free shipping and 2.5% back from ebates. If you buy $200 worth of gift cards - which could probably cover you for 12 months of albums and some tv shows - you'd save a little over $30.

i'll admit i only noticed the above while looking for a tv. =P

skins/cowboys tickets are currently at $69 for the lowest. still holding out hope for free ones. if i get them, i expect at least as good a reaction as this dad

a pre new year's song. did i already show this to you?

and while we're at it, a look back at the year in music.

and some other songs to check out since you want to be indie-conscious.

something interesting to think about. i will label it - pharmaceuticals yay.
