So, I'm still a little shocked and bummer about the Stars' early departure from the NHL playoffs. I guess I'll be cheering for Ottawa now. I don't think I can talk about it anymore...
Well, in an effort to cheer myself up, I'll talk about some free stuff from iTunes. First is the free single of the week. The Raconteurs - Steady, As She Goes (Acoustic Version). I'm not really familiar with this band, but it does include Jack White from the White Stripes. I'm not sure if this is his new venture or a side venture, but this song is very cool to listen to. It's got a nice groove, and it sounds like they were having a lot of fun in recording it (As evidenced by the laughing on the last verse). It also sounds very stripped down and something out of the past when you didn't need over-producing to create a good song. I'm not sure what the "regular" version will sound like, but hopefully it won't stray too far from this. Definitely going on my iPod. 5 out of 5. I really enjoyed it.
Next, is the Discovery Download of the week. Ciaccona by Rolf Lislevand. It is a classical piece that is guitar-centered but has some great string work in the middle and overall, it is a really nice piece to listen to. It flows well from beginning to end and sounds like something that is familiar, but new if that makes any sense at all. I really enjoyed this piece. I'll probably put it on my iPod. 4 of 5.
A great week from iTunes (for me any way). It's almost enough to get me out of my NHL funk...
Until next time,
PJ
