Music

So, the question has been posed....'How does one go about selecting music to download?'

Interesting question, which I am about to answer to the best of my ability. I don't really know. But here's what I do know.

Sometimes, I hear a song on the radio or satellite radio, and really like it, so I go find it and download it.

Sometimes, I hear a song at a friends house, or a friend tells me about a song, or I read about a song or an artist (on a blog, for example) so I go and download some.

Sometimes, I buy music that I listened to years ago.

Sometimes, I buy videos, not because I like the music, but because I like the 'visuals'. ;-)

Sometimes, when I have access to highspeed internet, I go into iTunes music store, and visit the iMixes section. I follow links such as 'people who like this song also bought this song'. I find some cool tunes this way.

Sometimes I am just plain predictable, and buy the mainstream hits.

Sometimes I am given CD's cuz someone has one and doesn't like it. I like all music, so I dutifully load the CD into my puter.

Sometimes, people send me their CD's, because they are in a band or group, and I must support them. (usually the music is quite good, if a little slow....)

The other day, I was in Chapters in London Ontario, and liked the music being piped through the store speakers, so I bought the CD.

Sometimes I buy music from iTunes because my brother likes it, and wants me to buy it, so I can burn a CD for him.

Sometimes, I buy music because I heard it on a TV show, and it was strongly emotional or dramatic. (I particularly like music from the show 'Cold Case')

Sometimes I buy music, cuz I liked the artist when they were on American Idol.

I love any music used in Apple Computer's iPod TV ads, so I buy it.

I always download the 'Free Track of the Week' from iTunes.

Sometimes I buy music, cuz I saw them on CNN, or The Tonight Show, or something.

Sometimes, I buy music for my wife, because she likes it.

That's all I can think of at the moment. Hopefully this will suffice.
