Free Matt Wertz album
9 NovClick here to download a free copy of Matt Wertz’s album “If It Ain’t Broke (Live From Seattle).”
I love this guy. Here’s a fun Matt story: A few years ago, he played a show at Pepperdine, and I organized a group of friends to go. But then the day of the show, I got sick and couldn’t make it. Later that day, my phone rang and it was Matt! My friends talked to him after the show and then called me and gave the phone to Matt. He was very nice – even though I didn’t believe it was him at first.
So, go download his album. And if you like it, buy some of his other stuff!
(Thanks for the tip, Misty.)
Alibris discount codes
8 Nov
The other day I was looking for a book on Amazon and I was frustrated that even though it was the cheapest used book, by the time I added shipping, it was almost as much as buying a brand new book (and then buying something else to qualify for free shipping – which I didn’t really want to do either). So I did a little searching and came across Alibris. It’s kind of like the Amazon marketplace but it’s only books, music, movies, etc. – like old school Amazon. I was able to get the book from Alibris for a little cheaper than Amazon, and I found a $1 off coupon code, so it worked out. At least I hope it will; I haven’t received the book yet but it’s supposed to be on its way.
Anyway, today I got an email from Alibris with some discount codes (that are Beatles-themed for some reason), so I thought I’d pass them on:
- Save $3 off $30 - code: MAGICAL
- Save $6 off $60 - code: MYSTERY
- Save $10 off $100 - code: TOUR
