I'M So Old I'm Redeeming "Green Stamps"
Apr. 27th, 2008 09:00 pmWell, actually not Green Stamps -- Pepsistuff Points. I drink no coffee or tea, so I allow myself a ration of Pepsi One per day. It adds up. Five collected points are redeemable for mp3 single downloads on Amazon.
Over the last five months, I've collected:
Two contemplative acoustic works by John Michael Talbot
"The Unforgiven" by Metallica
"Spanish Caravan" by The Doors
aaaaand "For Pete's Sake" by The Monkees.
I've also purchased "Remind Me" (aka The Geico Airport Caveman song) by Royksopp. Because...someone had to 8)
The downloads are frankly easier, with a MUCH bigger selection, than iTunes. Also, I don't think they're "protected" like the ones I no longer buy from iTunes.
I love the concept of buying the single song I'd actually listen to, rather than having to buy a whole CD. Once upon a time I had stacks of cassette tapes who entered my home for just that reason, and I no longer have the room nor am I willing to waste the coin doing that any more.
After all, I have to buy dress fabric, sooner or later.
