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.

I really like the song called "The Underdog", by Spoon. It's pretty new, but it is quickly becoming popular. I think it will be on the website soon. Another thought I had was an old NIN song called "get down make love". I am not sure if you have heard it or not. It was a b-side on a "sin" single, and it is of of reznor's best.

I agree with sarah, I like the Panic at the Disco stuff, but I don't know if that is up your alley or not.

Have you heard "Black Parade" by My Chemical Romance?

I also heard this really great song the other day, they kept saying something about Delilah, but I am not sure who it is by. I am just being funny. I have to say this, just because it makes me giggle. Last week, I heard Delilah on the easy-listening station, KUDL. Immediately afterward, they played Michael Bolton. I am NOT making this up. :)

I am sure Delilah is quite sad about this.

This is the name of the website where I can get songs cheap. I have not had any issues with viruses or anything and it is legit. The only problem is the songs are in Russian. (Dwight from the Office humor.)

John, is the song by NIN like 22 minutes long? iTunes does not have a version of that (and more importantly, does not even sell Pretty Hate Machine, what's up with that??).
I listened to the first 30 seconds the website allows me to listen to and I cannot tell what the remainder is going to sound like.

Spoon actually sounds not bad, but the latest cd is not available yet.
Their other music sounds good also. Does anyone want to go in with me and dump some more money into this website with user name and password?
If anyone wants to split, it is only a total of $35 going in and get credit for $44 in music. (They give $10 free.) Anyone? Anyone?
Check out the site and let me know.

You need to show me how to download songs some day...though I will have to see just what type of selection might be out there.

Yeah, Black Parade was great. Well, I borrowed the cd from a friend to put on my ipod, and my ipod is always on shuffle, so i probably haven't heard all of the songs, but a bunch of my friends spent a while raving about them, so i'm sure they're all good. I really like the sharpest lives.
And my dad heard hey there Delilah the other day playing out of someone's car in rhode island, and he asked me what song it was. so i was like how have you not heard that a million times before. He likes it, and got it for his ipod, and now i have it on mine too : )

You have so much music already, it's hard to think of anything more. I can't remember you ever mentioning Chevelle, they have quite a few good songs that you may like. Or maybe Stone Sour, Through Glass, heard it on the way home today and thought you might like it.
