Want 25 FREE MP3′s? Perfect iTunes Store Complement

Steve — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 19:49:21 +0000

OK, I never put up affiliate offers and hate sites that shove unrelated products down your throat. So why am I now? Because I believe this will benefit HiFi Punk listeners, and I personally use it and have tested it completely.

Whats the offer? If you use the link below to sign up for an eMusic account you get 25 absolutely free MP3′s. Sure you can sign up for the offer, download your music, then cancel your account and never pay a cent – but I think you will see the value in keeping the account open.

This is NOT a replacement of my iTunes Store – its a complement to it! I will never close my iTunes account, there is just too much good stuff they have to offer, but by using my eMusic basic account I save $12.00 every month on MP3′s – that’s $144 per year.

So why wouldn’t I? So for someone like me who downloads at least a song a day its a no-brainer to have the eMusic account.

Below are the different plans they have to offer, and when you compare that to the $.99 going rate at the iTunes Store you really see the value. And of course if you only want the free MP3′s just cancel your account after you download them.

eMusic Basic 25 FREE downloads with your 7-day trial 24 downloads for $11.99 per month thereafter ($0.50 per song)

eMusic Plus 25 FREE downloads with your 7-day trial 35 downloads for $15.89 per month thereafter ($0.45 per song)

eMusic Premium 25 FREE downloads with your 7-day trial 50 downloads for $20.79 per month thereafter ($0.42 per song)

eMusic Connoisseur 25 FREE downloads with your 7-day trial 75 downloads for $30.99 per month thereafter ($0.41 per song)

Currently I am using the Basic account, but once my downloading habits increase I will step it up to the plus because I will end up saving a lot more per year.

Obviously being in the music industry this offer caught my eye, and since you are here you clearly have a passion for music as well – so why not some free songs?

Help Rise Against support The Whaleman Foundation

Steve — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 03:14:54 +0000

I don’t know about you, but not many things get my blood boiling like whaling does. It is a horrible sight watching footage of these people shooting huge harpoons into whales and dragging them on deck. I am stoked that Rise Against is taking a stand on this horrible practice.

Wild Fires in Victoria Australia are Claiming over 100 Lives

Steve — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 03:27:45 +0000

After the sad post about Scott Russo losing his home to fires, I had to get the word out about the wild fires going on here in Australia. Heat waves coupled with severe dry conditions have been the recipe for disaster in Victoria Australia – where out of control fires have claimed over 100 lives. People are finding their homes destroyed in the wake of the fires which are continuing to burn.

You can read more about the tragedy on Australian news site Nine.

Scott Russo of Unwritten Law Loses His Home to Fires

Steve — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 03:14:49 +0000

He and his family made it out safely, but all their belongins were lost in the fire. Scott lived in San Diego and had this to say:

My entire family is now homeless, all our pets are dead and all our earthly possessions are gone. In these tough times, my family had been out of work, and the financial burden was too heavy for me to afford home insurance. I’m left with nothing in this world except my family, friends and band, who I’m very thankful are ok. The support from my friends has been overwhelming.

I stumbled upon this crazy weapon:

I would not want to be shot with that radiation, can anyone say brain cancer?

What does this have to do with punk? Nothing.
