Amazon Music Freebie

The Orange Mountain Music Philip Glass Sampler’ Vol 1. You can get it here.

Also, we have some Itunes Freebies as well…

Orianthi – According to You
“Who doesn’t want to be recognized and even loved for who they truly are? That’s the lyrical theme for Orianthi’s snappy pop-rock gem According to You. The message also applies to the instrumental skills of the mid-twentyish native of southern Australia and onetime guitar wunderkind. She’s not just an energetic singer; she’s a six-string slayer. She’s earned the praises of none other than Carlos Santana and was Michael Jackson’s last live guitarist; you can see her in the late King of Pop’s rehearsal-footage feature film, This Is It.” — iTunes Store

Jason Derulo – Whatcha Say (this is a video download)

Gatekeeper – Forgotten

“Gatekeeper, an emerging electronic duo from the Windy City, is known for its horror-disco sound, and “Forgotten” fits the mold hauntingly. With a steady house beat, cascading synths, shimmering effects, and dialogue snippets, Forgotten is a cinematic treat just in time for Halloween.” — iTunes Store

Matias Aguayo – Rollerskate

“Former Closer Musik maestro Matias Aguayo is responsible for this whimsical, jumpy, electronic-driven creation. Rollerskate is an elusive, slippery groove of a track where the vocals and rhythms begin to slur and morph into one another, creating a kind of disorienting haze. While the breeziness reflects the feel of such (unfortunately) bygone pastimes as rollerskating, Aguayo’s methods of achieving such a feeling are purely from the future.” — iTunes Store

There is a Target Toy Coupon Book starting to float around. I hear they come around every year. I personally have never seen one, but my interests in couponing really sparked this year so it’s interesting how this years Christmas shopping will go for me! I have read that this book can be found hanging in toys section, or may be available at the service desk. My Local Target didn’t seem to know what I was referring to, but said something about RedCard holders getting a coupon book mailed to them? That may be nice? Here is a list of the coupons that are supposed to be in this catalog. They expire 11/25/09 so you will have to use them before Black Friday. Also these coupons are Target Store coupons so if there is any Manufacturer Coupons for these toys they can be used together for some extra great deals.
