Don’t you love songs that you really have to listen to in order to understand the subtlety of the lyrics? Those that make you think for a moment about the hidden subtext of the song. Such as it is for today’s Amazon MP3 special, Jeremih.
For $3, you can own this entire album that releases tomorrow for other music retailers, but Amazon has an exclusive early release. Then you can try to figure out what his hit, “Birthday Sex,” is about.
Taking a look at my recent musical additions over the past few months:
Hmmm, quite a few of these were daily specials on Amazon.
Amazon, my music mistress, has seduced me once again. For today only, the newly released Just Dance is available for $2.99. For less than the price of a Starbucks mocha, you can get 17 caffeinated dance tracks including an Amazon exclusive of Move for Me by Kaskade Vs Deadmau5.
Be seduced now!
Recently, I’ve been buying a fair share of digital music from Amazon’s MP3 Music Store. Prices are good with some unbeatable, limited time deals. But besides the MP3 versus AAC formats, there are some other differences between the two music stores.
Check out this comparison of Green Day’s 21st Century Breakdown. Amazon had the digital download for $5, but it’s now $11.99 with 9 customer reviews.
iTunes is also selling this new release for $14.99 but with 3918 customer reviews!
This is a change for Amazon which usually has the majority of customer reviews. In this case, it looks like the music community is more active on iTunes (but I bought the songs from Amazon). ;)Â Wonder which store has a better deal on Eminem’s Relapse.
JPop star Utada was scheduled to visit Hawaii and promote her new album This Is the One. Unfortunately, she’s sick with peritonsillitis and had to cancel.
Don’t let her appearance and JPop background fool you though. Her music is not what you think. On iTunes, This Is the One currently has 1247 reviews and is averaging 4.5 stars! Every song is solid, ranging from ballads to dance tracks.
Even though Utada’s not coming to town, you can get her MP3-format album for only $5 on Amazon for a limited time. You won’t be disappointed. Listen to samples below.
Get a Hershey’s Kiss Fondue maker at Amazon!
Mother’s Day is coming up, you know.
Amazon is selling the Watchmen graphic novel for $11 if you need to see what the hype is about.
While I love all that the iTunes Store has to offer, I have a secret. I’ve been cheating on iTunes with my mistress also known as the Amazon MP3 Store. Yes, Amazon is my dirty little ho. I can find similar offerings on both iTunes and Amazon, but sometimes Amazon offers up a deal too good to resist.
For example, take U2’s latest CD, No Line on the Horizon. iTunes has the deluxe version that includes bonuses for $17.99. Today, Amazon has a special offer on the regular version of the CD going for $3.99. How can you not give Amazon some lovin’ with deals like these? And I don’t really care about MP3 versus AAC formats.
So I’ll typically shop iTunes first, but I can’t deny that lusty Amazon anymore.
Amazon wants to boost your libido I tell you. Really! First, they’re giving away the single Let’s Get It On, and now they’re offering the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition
video for free.
Can you spot local model Tori Praver? No? Then you need to watch the 45-minute video of bikini models again.
What’s Valentine’s Day without getting it on? Why find out when Amazon is here to boost your mojo by offering Marvin Gaye’s classic Let’s Get It On for free on Friday and Saturday (February 13-14, 2009). That’s right, Amazon is helping you get it on!
Dear readers of Pulpconnection, I need some help to help you. I have a bunch of Pepsi Points, and they expire at the end of December. Yes, I’ve drank my share of Pepsi, received bottle caps from coworkers, and even rummaged through recycling bins to rack up Pepsi Points.
What better way to start the Holidays than to use these points and buy you tunes from Amazon’s MP3 store? Ho ho ho! Yes, with these excess points, I’ll get you (qualifying) MP3 singles from Amazon. Check out Amazon’s MP3 store, find a single, and post a comment with your request. Oh yeah, make sure I can contact you about your song request.
One song per dedicated Pulpconnection reader and unfortunately not all songs are available for purchase using Pepsi Points. Songs need to say “Get for 5pts” in order to purchase via Pepsi Points. Giveaway ends at any time.
