8/6 (Thursday): Preliminaires by Iggy Pop - $3.99

I can't say no to Iggy Pop, especially not on a project as interesting as this one.

Thanks. Just downloaded some Iggy in French!

Wow, those samples sound a lot like Tom Waits. I may have to buy my first Iggy Pop record.

Just listened twice and enjoyed. Does have a bit of Tom Waits influence and a great price!

Just curious if anyone else took advantage of this deal. I downloaded it on Monday and just now noticed that the album that was downloaded is the band's previous, Moonbeams. I contacted Amazon about it and have yet to hear back, but I was wondering if anyone else had this problem.

8/13 (Thursday): Acquired Taste by Delbert McClinton & Dick50 - $1.99

So what does everyone think of these amazon deals lately? I haven't bought much of anything the last few months. The selection seems worse and the prices seem higher. I guess they were trying harder at first to get people switched over to using them over iTunes.

The prices do seem a little higher but i have picked up a couple artists i had previously never even heard of. A 1.99$ price point guarantees i will go listen to the samples and there is about an 80% chance i will buy it if i even vaguely like it.

I was buying almost everyday for a while but cut back to about 1 or 2 a week now. Slightly higher prices and more groups I'm not familiar with have made me slow down on the impulse buys.

Probably tomorrows deal.
