If you like music, live in North America and want free stuff, Amazon.com is offering up 3 dollars worth of free music from now until November 30th. All you need to do is have an Amazon.com account (who doesn't these days) and the wherewithal to click on this here linky. Follow the instructions and your three favorite songs are yours for slack.

Never let it be said that I never gave you any gifts.

More proof that the nature of the music business has changed forever.

Bruce Springsteen (and the E Street Band) will soon have a new album (CD? LP? Record? Fileset? Download? What are these things called these days?) entitled Magic in release on Oct. 1. However, being that radio (what's left of it, anyway) no longer does much of a job of airing new music by 'established artists' (code words for Music Not Generally Appealing To The Coveted 18-34 Age Demographic), the new single debuts not on the ol' FM, but as a free download on iTunes, and, curiously, on the UK newspaper Guardian Unlimited's website. The new single, appropriately titled "Radio Nowhere" can be downloaded here, apparently for some limited time. Go and get your Bruce on.

If you're into his music, that is.

With the new movie coming out, I can't help but remember how good the original radio broadcast was, especially given the time it was originally aired. I had a cassette of the broadcast for umpteen years, but it has since gone AWOL. So imagine my geeky happiness at finding the entire original broadcast linked from a forum thread. I decided that it's too good to keep to myself, and decided to share. Leeching of university bandwidth be damned, I present to you Orson Welles' War Of The Worlds. (56 megabyte .mp3 file)
