Some song purchases

For something different today, I thought I would post the last 10 songs I purchased from iTunes (not including the free downloads of the week; by the way, if you have iTunes, be sure to check it out at least once a week to get the one or two free song downloads and occasional free video downloads they offer. Very often the songs are good.). In reverse order:
  • "Stars" by Switchfoot. I really enjoyed Switchfoot's The Beautiful Letdown, so I decided to try out this song from their new one, Nothing Is Sound.
  • "Burn the Witch (Unkle Remix)" by Queens of the Stone Age. Good version of the same song from Lullabies to Paralyze, and it came bundled with the song's video.
  • "Hush" by Deep Purple. Classic, and can be found on The Very Best of Deep Purple.
  • "Sour Girl" by Stone Temple Pilots. Can be found on Thank You. I used to pick up almost every STP album until after "Tiny Music" when I stopped paying attention to what they were doing (and I think they were disbanded for a while then).
  • "E-Pro" (video) by Beck. I really should buy this whole album (Guero) as all the clips I hear of the songs sound great.
  • "Trees" by Marty Casey. Yes, I bought a song by one of the Rockstar INXS contestants. (It's catchy.)
  • "Vertigo" (video) by U2. Another album (How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb) that I should look into buying. (Even though I heard the story, "1, 2, 3, 14" still bugs me in this song.)
  • "Under Pressure" by The Used/My Chemical Romance. This is a good remake of a good song.
  • "Wires" by Athlete. This was a free download, but I'm counting it since I really like the song. It's on the album Tourist.
  • "We're All To Blame" by Sum41. More social commentary than I'd expect from a Sum41 song.

Now you're talking something that's up my alley. I might have to check out some of those that I haven't heard of.

The one thing I do like about iTunes is that you can preview the songs. I also like the various radio charts they have listed. The radio stations are horrible in Rochester for new rock music, so I have to hear new stuff from different outlets.

I have a my yahoo module that lists the top 10 iTunes downloads. I think I'm getting old because I've never heard of 90% of the artists or songs in that list.

Yes, I like that it is a decent preview too (30 seconds that is usually pretty representative of the song). The radio station I listen to here is basically top 40, so I hear a lot of the songs that are on the list (unfortunately that is mainly rap/r&b, and not nearly as much rock). I do look through iTunes top 100 occasionally.
