That’s right! Three songs for the price of two on iTunes. The special applies to specified Hip-Hop tracks, and they do have a good variety. Will Smith, Outkast, Busta Rhyme just to name a few.
C’mon…you know you want to get jiggy with Will Smith…go check out the sale!
With the iPod Nano and iPod video out, the earlier iPods are often overlooked. Take for instance the iPod Mini. It can hold up to 6GB of songs, is in a small, compact package and even comes in different colors…so there’s still some cool factor to it.
Even though it has a monochrome screen and of course doesn’t show videos, it still is a great MP3 player. There are also still a lot of accessories available for the Mini, and since it’s no longer being manufactured you can usually pick them up a lot cheaper than those for the Nano.
Ebay is probably your best bet for an iPod Mini, but the Apple Store often has refurbished models too. (Refurbished iPod mini - 6 GB Blue) Either way, you get a great MP3 player with up to 6 times the space you’ll get on the new Nano.
I give the iPod Mini - 
I have an old 2nd Gen iPod and I’ve been eager to upgrade for quite some time. I’m having a hard time deciding between the small, sleek Nano or go for the gusto with one of the 30G models. I came across this deal on refurbished iPods and thought I’d share:
You may have seen her on Ellen, Late Night with Conan O’Brien or maybe you were one of the lucky ones to see her live at the SXSW music festival…but if you haven’t heard her, you’re really missing something special.
Her live performances have been referred to as a "one-woman band". Her voice is absolutely beautiful and the entire CD is fantastic.
This is her first US release, and I’d be willing to be it’s the first of many more to come.
Living in the Atlanta area I’m fortunate to be exposed to a really strong and talented music community. There are so many local bands that provide a huge range of musical offerings. No matter what type of music you like, you can find it here in Atlanta.
I was fortunate to catch one of Jen Foster’s first Atlanta shows and she just blew me away! She opened for Sophie B. Hawkins but honestly she was the highlight of the show. All of my friends and I picked up Jen’s CD at the show, but passed on Sophie B’s…Jen was that good.
None of us had even heard of her so it was a great surprise to hear such an amazing voice, coupled with great songwriting and a powerful stage presence. Jen is originally from Texas but lives in Nashville now. She plays in Atlanta often enough for most of us to consider her a "local" musician.
She has been compared to Sheryl Crow, Joan Osbourne, Bonnie Raitt and she has opened for K’s Choice, Crash Test Dummies, Lisa Loeb, Allison Moorer, The Samples and more.
Her latest release is just as powerful as "Ordinary Girl" which received great reviews. To learn more about Jen, visit her web site.
To listen to samples of her work, check her out on iTunes. 
This is such a great compilation, and the new single "I Run for Life" is worth the price of this CD alone. If you haven’t heard it, you can sample it at iTunes. As always, Melissa Rocks!
This is a powerful show and should be just as successful as the earlier Law & Order versions. Former Law & Order SVU Assistant D.A. Alexandra Cabot is one of the stars of this series and her character is a strong force in the show. If you missed any of the episodes you don’t have to wait for summer re-runs…download them on iTunes!
NOTE: I just checked and the pilot episode is no longer free, it is $1.99 to download, but they do have free downloads…one is a behind the scenes video and another is the Conviction music video "All Will Be Well" from the Gabe Dixon Band. (Nashville based trio)
P!nk
I like Pink a lot…Mizzundastood lived in my CD player pretty much the entire month I bought it. I just downloaded her new CD from iTunes and I absolutely love it!
Even if you’re not a big Pink fan, check this out: Pink & Indigo Girls - Dear Mr. President (USA). Not the typical Pink song you hear on the radio, definitely worth a listen.
It’s loaded on my iPod Shuffle and will be on there for quite some time…really a great song! Give it a chance, you can listen to a sample for free on iTunes.
Apple Computer on Monday revealed it had renewed contracts with the four largest record companies to sell songs through its iTunes digital store at 99 cents each.
Good stuff, bad stuff and what’s in between…
