Great Prices Here

I have always loved swimming as an activity and a wonderfully non-sweaty way to exercise. But one of the serious limitations of swimming is and has always been the fact that I cannot listen to music while swimming (after 25 laps I am bored not tired). However I decided to find out about waterproof music players and water proof earphones so I can listen to music while swimming. And I also thought of something else I can do with such a water proof music system – I can sit out in the rain or go for a bike ride in the rain and listen to music at the same time! And who knows I may just decide to go deep sea diving!

This waterproof MP3 player I found is on sale at a 25% discount. Down from $80 it is now available for just 60 dollars. It fastens to a belt or a buckle with the help of its clip and the twist and lock earphones jack seals out water completely.  With a 6 to 8 hour play time, and weight of less than an ounce, this one has a visible multi colored LED mode control, which makes it a fairly desirable gadget in my view.

Like I always say, if there is anything better than a discount it has be freebies! And since I discovered the internet radio or streaming audio I have a terrific source of free music listening and access to stations that I can modify, skip, and search for at will. Since I spend a lot of time on the net, I always have some or other music streaming the background and I thought that those of my readers who are not already aware of these sites could gain from this knowledge.

I am dematerializing all my music (I’m not sure if that term applies only to stocks and bonds or also to music); that is to say that I want to transfer all my CDs and all the music that I have on my computer to my iPod. That way I have absolutely all my music is one place and immediately accessible. Simple enough till there but then I also have loads of audio cassettes (yes I still have all the ones that I have been collecting since my first Beatles tape that I bought at age 12); so how do I demat them; or digitize them or whatever? So I went on a quest to find cheap MP3 downloads from around the net to replace all of the stuff on cassette with digital music for my iPod.

People, I just bought me a new cell phone: it is this really sleek and smart Nokia, from their XpressMusic series. I will freely confess that it was not a discount or anything of the sort that convinced me to buy it, just the fact that I thought that the phone I got was good value for money and feature packed and so pretty! I can’t help it; I love red, and the phone felt really nice in my hands! Besides I am brand loyal to Nokia, I have owned a Nokia for the past 4 years, and love its logical and easy navigation.

I have in the recent past done posts about the richest men in the world and the top grossing films of all time and the urge to do another greatest hits ‘top’ post is upon me again!

I actually remember when I was in school and Michael Jackson won a record number of Grammys for his album Thriller, which was a top selling album and recently when I was listening to the unbeatable pop song Beat It! I was quite swamped with nostalgia! And I know that Thriller is the best selling album of all time, so I was curious to find out which were the top five selling albums of all time.

If you read my Freebies post, you will know what an optimist I am and how, like a dog with a bone I don’t easily give up. So I shall sally forth into the realm of the unknown and try to seek out the freebie that be’est only in the flights of my imagination! (I have been reading Shakespeare, can you tell?)

I tried a different tack this time; I thought I would search for specific freebies: first I tried out free music. I’m talking legal music downloads not limewire and bootlegs. This site, has some cool music on offer; within seconds I had this nice track from the Buddha Lounge, but you need to buy most of the stuff. The Gibson Guitars site also has a quite extensive list of stuff you can download, but most of the stuff I found a little underwhelming. There is of course the famous Radiohead initiative where they gave their complete album for free download. Check out the remixed album here. There are other sites to be sure but they require registration.

Then I saw this advert for free Ben & Jerry ice cream cone sample! And I simply love Ben & Jerry’s ice creams, especially their out there flavors, so I really perked up but was rapidly crestfallen: that offer was for only one day: 29 April. Ah well, there is always next year.

Then there are Walmart freebies (I can see you’re thinking, finally this is getting interesting): John Frieda collection sample! Wonderful! I clicked on the get your sample link and Presto! I got the BROCHURE! You do however get free toothpaste samples and bedwetting shorts samples for the price of a few details and answering a few questions.

Since I love perfume, I thought let’s check out if there were any freebie perfume samples to be had (they spray it on really liberally when you visit any store that sells perfume, so why not samples). Apparently you can get a free Escada sample here for the price of a few personal details, but only if you live in the US, Spain, Germany or France. Here also, you get free samples if you fill in some details and answer some questions.

Be warned though, my skepticism is still rife, so I will trust all these freebie claims when I smell the perfume, so to speak! If you have had good or bad experiences with freebies, do let me know.

I was thinking about what topic to write on for my next post, and nothing came to mind: I was fresh out of ideas! Then the song that was playing on my computer at the time gave me an idea: the song was the Beatles (anyone who is a regular reader here will know that I am a Beatles nut) song Money, That’s what I want so I thought I would make my own compilation of all the best ‘Money’ songs that were made!

I may be a Beatles nut but my fav money song ever, has to be the iconic Money by Pink Floyd. What a song! Contrary to what a lot of people believe, I think Dark side of the Moon is the best Pink Floyd album.

New Car, Caviar,
Four Star Day Dream
Think I’ll buy me a Football Team

A song that I practically grew up with is the pop classic from Abba, Money, Money, Money. This song is all that’s good about pop music. Good tune, beat, and great vocals.

Money, money, money
Must be funny
In the rich man’s world
Money, money, money
Always sunny
In the rich man’s world

A song that is perhaps my introduction to real rock would be the Dire Straits song from Brothers in Arms, Money for Nothing. Irreverent, humorous and almost self deprecating, this song remains a personal nostalgia piece. Great track!

Look at them yo yos, that’s the way you do it,
Play the guitar on your MTV,
That ain’t working
Money for nothing and chicks for free

Since Beatles are my fav band ever, I picked two of their songs (I didn’t pick Cant buy me love) to include in the list: song Money, That’s what I want and Baby you’re a rich man too. The latter is a bizarre song with random lyrics like:

Baby you’re a rich man,
Baby you’re a rich man,
Baby you’re a rich man too.
You keep all your money in a big brown bag inside a zoo.

Any money songs you can think of which should have made it to the list?
