Early nights, earlier mornings and survery

A buddy called me the other night around 8 and I was already in bed. I told him I could talk for a bit, but would need to get off the phone soon. He said, "Oh yeah, you get up at the crack of dawn for work now. I forgot."
I responded, "Well, she is still sleeping when I am leaving the house."

So far, I have downloaded a plethora of songs via my cd collection, stealing from siblings, co-workers, and friends. I found a website where I could find a lot of music for very cheap, like $.18 a song. Well, I am running my account very low and have $.44 left in my account. I have enough money for two songs and need some help in picking the remaining songs with the money left. Any thoughts?
I got John down for saying Underdog by Spoon, but that is not available on this site yet. They are sometimes a couple weeks behind releases.
As of right now, I have downloaded 1168 songs from the site for a whopping 15,331.78 MB. I believe that is equivalent to saying 15 gig. I have almost 4500 songs on my iPod and once Dave transfers the songs I requested onto my flash drive, I should be up another 50+.

I am kicking myself for not seeing Alice in Chains play their acoustic show in Milwaukee last week and have actually looked up plane ticket prices to fly to Austin, TX to see their next show at the end of the month. My hopes were dashed quickly when I saw that they cost a little over $150 each way right now. I tried every air port in the near area, Indy, Ohare, Midway and the busiest one, South Bend. (Priceline.com took over 2 minutes before it could even quote a price before I ended the request.)
Oh well. They are rumored to be working on a new album which would be the first since 1994 when they released their self titled album.
By the way, Dave, I have downloaded the show Pearl Jam played about a week before we saw them play in Grand Rapids, MI. I can get you a copy whenever you like. They open with Release and include Wasted Reprise, State of Love and Trust, Jeremy, Black, Whipping, Indifference, Better Man, Man of the Hour and Go. There is 30 songs in total.
