Amazon, my personal shopper
Lately I’ve been paying a lot more attention to what Amazon suggests I might like. I’ve noticed that a lot of DVDs that I’ve been out and bought and really love are being recommended to me. It’s been happening with CDs and books too.
This is a really good thing. I’ve been encouraging it more by telling it when it comes up with things I already own. Just a few days ago it showed up with the Howling Bells. I downloaded their title album via BitTorrent and I really like it. I’ll find somewhere with a decent price online and pick it up soon.
Now is a good time to bring up downloading music. It’s certainly true that some people download music and don’t pay for the real stuff any longer, but not me. Lately I’ve been downloading a lot more, but at the same time I’ve been buying a lot more music. I’ve got a bunch of new Bob Marley CDs (which I got the MP3s for first), some cool jazz stuff and three Regina Spektor CDs thanks to BitTorrent and “illegal” music.
Anyway, the beat goes on…
