Sesame Street Song Downloads
I still have a lot of kid left in me. I recently bought a “Muppet Babies” tape and loved it. Jim Henson is awesome. I own VHS tapes of Sesame Street that I converted into mp3s: “Rock and Roll!” and “Count It Higher: Great Music Videos from Sesame Street.” I have others but these are...
A Truly Free CD
I hate ripoffs and scams. When a real freebie comes along I am pleased. And I’d like to share a place that gives away 1 Compact Disc (or DVD) of your choice, including shipping. Granted it’s used and it has no case to cut down on shipping, I still enjoy the fact that I got...

iPod vs. the Cassette
The iPod is considered a great invention or at least an advanced improvement of portable music using the latest technologies. There are also others who criticize it, who realize it isn’t perfect, and who know how cheap it isn’t. I’ve got one and I see the good and bad of it. But some creative individual...
