$5 albums in July

cutecheapstuff — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 04:20:39 +0000

2010 is officially more than halfway over. It’s hard to believe that, I know. Last year around this time I was wishing 2009 would just hurry up and be over with, but 2010, I think you’re pretty swell.

We have a new month, and therefore new $5 mp3 albums from Amazon. Hooray! This month includes: MGMT, Adele, Kelly Clarkson (“All I Ever Wanted” is one of my most favorite pop albums, and I love pop), Imogen Heap, Silversun Pickups, Beastie Boys, The Strokes, the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack (the first cassette tape I ever bought!), Radiohead, M. Ward, Grace Potter & the Nocturnals, Camera Obscura, Jennifer Knapp, and something I’m interested in: Score! 20 Years Of Merge Records: The Covers!

Hot stuff

If you like the Old 97′s, you’ll love this. (And if you don’t know who the Old 97′s are, this guy sings. That should be enough to get you interested.) Right now on Amazon you can buy their new 4-song EP “Mimeograph” for only $1.99!

$5 albums in June

cutecheapstuff — Wed, 23 Jun 2010 05:58:30 +0000

Sorry I’m a little late on posting this – it’s June! Who knew?

Amazon offers 100 $5 mp3 albums every month, and this month is by far the best selection I’ve seen. There’s John Mayer’s Continuum (yes, he’s a douche now, but Continuum is his best album and I recommend it), Kings of Leon, Silversun Pickups, Rihanna, Arcade Fire, Corinne Bailey Rae, the Once soundtrack, Radiohead, Dixie Chicks, Coldplay, Spoon, Jeff Buckley, Damien Jurado, Gossip, Beach House, Nada Surf, Shout Out Louds, and more!

Spring… summer … it’s all the same here

cutecheapstuff — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 04:55:59 +0000

Barsuk Records Amazon Spring 2010 Sampler featuring Pearly Gate Music, Rocky Votolato, David Bazan, Viva Voce, and more. That’s a pretty good group, though I expect nothing less from Seattle’s own Barsuk.

Freelance Whales free song

cutecheapstuff — Sat, 29 May 2010 05:05:16 +0000

Cheers to Freelance Whales for a fun band name! For a limited time, you can download “Hannah” for free from iTunes.

And I can’t think about whales and not think about a certain narwhal:

Josh Ritter love

Josh Ritter has a new album out! And you can get it at a discount price! For a limited time, it’s $7.99 at Amazon.

If you’ve never listened to Mr. Ritter, you’re missing out. But there’s hope for you yet – you can download “Rattling Locks” for free. What have you got to lose? He’s a good artist and a nice guy. I met him very briefly one time and he was the nicest person ever. Let’s support the nice people of the world!

Oh yes, you May

cutecheapstuff — Sat, 01 May 2010 18:15:44 +0000

It’s May! This year is going by sooooo fast. I can’t believe it.

With a new month comes new $5 albums from Amazon. This month includes: She & Him, The Bird and the Bee (covering Hall & Oates!), Spoon, The Hold Steady, and more. Happy shopping!

I already own this one. Ain't no shame...

Sing My Lonesome Away

cutecheapstuff — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 05:09:42 +0000

For a limited time, you can download “Sing My Lonesome Away” by Matt Wertz from Amazon for free.

I think I’ve talked about Matt here before, but just in case, he’s pretty cool.

Metric Part 2: Sequin dress boogaloo

cutecheapstuff — Fri, 09 Apr 2010 19:24:43 +0000

Back in February, Amazon offered for 1-day only Metric’s “Fantasies” for $2.99. Someone over at Amazon must be an Emily Haines fan because they’ve made Metric their daily deal album again.

Today it’s “Live It Out” for $3.99. I don’t own any Metric albums (aside from the awesome mix that my friend Anika made), but I will today! Also, I saw Metric a few weeks ago, and they are super good.

Patty Griffin

cutecheapstuff — Thu, 08 Apr 2010 19:36:34 +0000

Today’s Amazon mp3 deal is Patty Griffin’s “1000 Kisses” for only $3.99.

I like Patty Griffin, but I don’t have any of her albums. Must do something about this. Also, I used to frequently have a bus driver in the afternoon who reminded me of Patty Griffin. Maybe it was just her red hair. It’s not like she sang to us while she was driving. Although if she sounded like Patty, I would have gladly listened. That bus driver is on my short list of favorite bus drivers, along with the driver who confided in me that she’s NOT a cyborg, and bus driver who keeps iced cinnamon rolls in that locked compartment by the door and gives them to his friends.

Oh, Metro drivers. Anyway, Patty Griffin…
