Want 25 FREE MP3’s? Perfect iTunes Store Complement http://www.hifipunk.com/2009/12/want-25-free-mp3s-perfect-itunes-store-complement-2/ http://www.hifipunk.com/2009/12/want-25-free-mp3s-perfect-itunes-store-complement-2/#comments Tue, 29 Dec 2009 19:49:21 +0000 Steve http://www.hifipunk.com/?p=489 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?

Brand New Selling Out http://www.hifipunk.com/2009/12/brand-new-selling-out/ http://www.hifipunk.com/2009/12/brand-new-selling-out/#comments Fri, 04 Dec 2009 19:31:45 +0000 Steve http://www.hifipunk.com/?p=457 Brand New Sells out Nassau Coliseum!

Band Completes Incredibly Successful US Headlining Tour – Selling Out Nearly Every Date & Gears Up for a Wembley Arena Headlining Show in the UK on January 23rd!

The four guys of Brand New have had a stellar fall. Their success started with the release of their fourth album, Daisy – which sold close to 50K first week out, debuted at # 6 on the Billboard 200 and had SPIN raving, saying “the sound is old-fashioned but the fury is fresh.”

Stream back online! http://www.hifipunk.com/2009/11/stream-back-online/ http://www.hifipunk.com/2009/11/stream-back-online/#comments Wed, 11 Nov 2009 05:31:19 +0000 Steve http://www.hifipunk.com/?p=441 Sorry for the long delay – a lot of events caused the stream to be offline for so long. From data center problems, to expensive bandwidth, to working on other projects – we finally managed to get the radio station back online.

I will be posting more details, but for now start listening and spread the word that we’re back!

I would also like to thank everyone for their continued support of the station and motivation to get us back online.
