I have a couple of rituals for Apple's New Music Tuesdays. One
involves scanning all the new stuff on the front page and in a couple
of selected genres; the other is a download of the week's free
track. The latter have been a bit of a bust so far; nothing's
really my taste. Until now, that is, with the offering of Diana Anaid's
Last
Thing as the freebie.
And it's not just the song, although that's plenty; there's also her
wonderfully palindromic name. I haven't run into one of those since
Stanley Yelnats in
Holes.
But enough about her name. The rest of the album is pretty good. And
it left me with an amusing quandry: with a total of eleven tracks
including the free one, should I just download the rest of the tracks
at .99 each or waste a full nine cents on the entire album. Being
lazy, I tried the latter. But the Music Store had other ideas; it
warned me about having duplicate tracks. So in spite of my best
efforts, Apple's store missed out on a little extra profit this week.
