You win the chance to play again!Yup, it’s almost spring, the Fall Fashion ads are running at Walmart and Tim Horton’s is running “Roll up the rim to win” again. Looky looky, I am a winner already. I won the chance to pay $1.56 for my extra large triple-triple (high octane) coffee and lose again.

Tis’ the season.

http://www.songza.com/   - A search tool that lets you find MP3’s, listen to them online and acts as a jukebox as well. You buy music through it and even watch videos.

Sounds unlikely so I tried a few searches.

Smashing Pumpkins brought up their usual fare from the albums (and the abomination that they put out called Zeitgeist). It also brought up some live stuff, rarities, concert items and such. Impressive.

Next I tried another one of my music selections from the 1990’s (Where I am firmly planted) Veruca Salt. 4 out of the 5 songs I clicked on were unable to load. The fifth was a crappy MP3 rip of Seether. So a fail there.

Lastly I tried searching for Greenwich Meantime, a local group who I know one of the guys in. Bingo, found their stuff. 5 out of 5 songs tried of theirs worked.

Overall this site is pretty good. Like anything else you will get some stuff that is hit and miss but on a whole it’s good to do some previews without having to have additional software or only half-song downloads.

I hate crappy tire

I hate that store… I really do. I went in today to get a bag of salt for my driveway and they were sold out. Come on. Who here in the snowbelt actually gets sold out of salt. That’s like going to a Dunkin Donuts and them telling you that they are sold out of coffee.

I took my car there to get my snow tires put on and they screwed up putting one of them on and destroyed the bead on the tire so it wouldn’t seal to the rim. They blamed the dealer for the issue. Idiots. Wouldn’t do anything about it.
