iTunes and Pepsi
March 22nd, 2004
Today I won my first free iTunes song from Pepsi. I hate Pepsi and never bought one until this Pepsi / iTunes music store promotion started. Since the promotion started I probably bought about 8 Pepsi(s), and I loose every time. J__, one of my coworkers who I go to lunch with, always wins. He's saving up for an album, but I was just happy to win once.
Tonight I went to the ITMS for the first time and gave it a run. Wow, the store is really cool! I love the 30 second preview, but must say that the "Today's Top Song" selection really sucks, who listens to that music?
Tonight I also realized I am really out of touch with music since I got rid of my car. I never listen to the radio any more, so I think the only new music I hear is from commercials. It was really sad because all of the music I was looking at was either 3 years old or some commercial jingle.
After about an hour of searching I finally "bought" Chinese Burn (Paul Van Dyk Forbidden City Remix). It turned out to be good, and it's probably a good deal as it's 10:41 minutes long. That's less than $.10 a minute and everyone knows that good music is always based on price per minute.
All in all the ITMS was a good experience, even though I had to drink all of those Pepsi(s) to win a free song.
Mook, don't you have a birthday coming up? Need some new music?

I'm not really sure what ITMS is, but sounds like you had fun.
Can't imagine your drinking Pepsi, but there's glad you realize you're a winner!
how many songs would you own if you had just bought them with the same money you spent on drinking very vile pepsi?
oh well. i guess the damage is done.
welcome to the world of itunes shopping, and thanks for giving mark a bit of momentum in our quest for driving tunes!
by the way, i took a peak at today's top songs, and have concluded that you're out of touch. turn on your radio, man.
I have bought one bottle of Sierra Mist. I have won a free song on ITMS. Now, I need to figure out which song, which really, is much harder than winning the song in the first place.
