Why eMusic is Awesome

While everybody else blogs about Stephen Colbert's speech at the White House Correspondents Dinner, I decided to finally take advantage of eMusic's free fifty song download trial offer. And it worked like a peach!

The only thing I should mention is that, for some reason, eMusic's site alternates between fifty and twenty-five free downloads, depending on which browser you use (with Safari, I got 25; but with Firefox, I got 50). Anyway, it's ridiculously simple. Just fill out the forms, give 'em a credit card number, and then quickly download your free fifty songs. After that, all you gotta do is cancel your subscription, and you get to keep your fifty songs, free of charge. Couldn't be easier!

Here's what I ended up downloading with my free trial:

Cat Power, The Greatest
Neko Case, Fox Confessor Brings the Flood
Iron & Wine/Calexico, In the Reins
Destroyer, Destroyer's Rubies
Okkervil River, Black Sheep Boy
