So here on the day before Christmas, and while I have no more shopping yet to get done, I find myself buying gifts for me. That’s because Amazon is having a great day-before-Christmas sale, with some very desirable MP3 albums for $1.99 or less. (Not that it has to be all for me; if I hadn’t spent close to $20 on Taylor Swift’s latest for my daughter for her birthday, I’d be buying it now for $1.99.<\/a>) So for 99 cents apiec<\/strong>e, I’m grabbing up greatest hits-y compilations from Abba<\/a> and The Carpenters<\/a>, and Motown<\/a> (really, that comes to less than 4 cents a track for prime Motown), and I’d be paying about twice that for Hall & Oats<\/a>, Johnny Cash<\/a>, and Simon & Garfunkel<\/a> if I didn’t already have basically everything on those albums. I’m not that into raggae, but 99 cents for two disks worth of Bob Marley<\/a> may be worth it anyway! (“Hey, what songs does this have?” “No Woman, No Cry.” “I don’t want to know what songs it doesn’t have! I’m sure I can pick up Woman and Cry somewhere else if I really like his stuff.”) There are greatest hits from Kenny Chesney<\/a>. But if I don’t want to sound like an old, old man, I should buy one of the newer albums they have… the latest from Imagine Dragons, Carly Rae Jepsen, No Doubt, Rihanna, Ellie Goulding, Lana Del Ray, Norah Jones, Blake Shelton, Ne-Yo, and Meek Mill.
\nHere’s the page with all the albums on this sale.<\/a>\"\" Ooh, they even have the new Paul McCartney<\/a>… that’ll make me seem young and hip, right? RIGHT?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
