Go forth and fill your libraries with media.

Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.

I was just told that the Amazon Conduit will be fixed by tomorrow. I will post here as soon as I get word that it's back up and running.

I know this has been frustrating and I am sorry there wasn't more I could do to make it less so. I really appreciate your patience though.

Cheers,

Get your free download of this most excellent boppy fun song.

Includes lines like "others try topping us, keep coming up short like Webster Papadopolis"

RIGHT HERE

You can get the "unwashed version" which I think includes Chase Utley's parade F-bomb.

Well, here it is, let's see:

 

Thanks for the free download and the great song!!

Also, thanks to Arbed for alerting me to this awesomeness from someecards:

 

Okay, it's anti-cat but it's still funny.  I liked the part where he was talking about what would happen if there were seeing-eye-cats.

 

I know, "Cats for Clunkers" doesn't really make sense for this, but don't give me grief about it, I didn't make it up.

Fun!

Bad news. As many of you have probably noticed, the Amazon Conduit was not fixed in the last week's release. Unfortunately, there was an undetected bug that is preventing the conduit from working.

We are working on this bug fix and hope to have the Conduit back up and running this week.

I will keep you posted.

Thank you for being so patient.

I know it's only October, but everytime that dreaded year end listmaking comes up I draw a blank.  Every year WXPN asks you to send them their list and then have a drawing for something, usually a bunch of the top CDs, maybe an iPod. 

So here are MY FAVORITE (that means no arguing that I'm wrong, because I'm right) of 2009 so far.  Subject to change depending on if anything I like better comes out in the next 2.5 months, or if I get into something I hadn't heard that came out before, of course.

They aren't going to be in order excpet the ones I like best and listened to the most will be at the top, lesser listened to toward the bottom.  The top 2 are my runaway favorites of the year.

Illinois--The Adventures of Kid Catastrophe

 

Mexican Institute of Sound--Soy Sauce

Kinky--Barracuda

Empire of the Sun--Walking on a Dream

 

Art Brut--Art Brut vs. Satan

 

Gomez--A New Tide

 

Sondre Lerche--Heartbeat Radio

 

Andrew Bird--Noble Beast

 

The Church--Untitled #23

 

Okay, that's 9.  I scrolled back through my music and couldn't find much else.  I hate the top 10 of the year because I rarely find albums the year they come out unless it's an artist I already know and love.  And sometimes I just put them on the list because even though I don't think it's their best effort (see Kings of Leon Only by the Night and Ryan Adams Cardinology...) I put them on the list because I know it's still better than half the shit out there.  Sometimes I just put stuff on the list because I've heard a few songs off the album.  Anyway, the only reason I'm doing this is so I have it for later and also because I am procrastinating doing housework.
