Wow, so Brock was really on to something with his Sara Bareilles-Black Friday find. According to Amazon.com, every day until Cyber Monday they'll be offering a few more random albums for $1.99. Something about the $2 price tag is really striking a chord with me at the moment, and I think I'm going to pull the trigger on a few more of these. Here's the good stuff I've found so far:
Arcade Fire - The Suburbs $1.99
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon $1.99 (some of us don't own it already, okay?)
The National - High Violet $1.99
John Mayer - Battle Studies $1.99
Ok, so I may be off about the John Mayer being on a list of "the good stuff," but for $2, maybe there's something on there worth listening to.
Also, I've attached a track, "Got Nuffin," from the $2 Spoon album. I purchased that album when it was first released and, after many listens on repeat, I can confirm that it does not disappoint. It's not their best album, but it's certainly worth this ridiculous price of admission (ridiculous in a good way of course, unless you're really that stingy). Amazon also has "Got Nuffin" as a free download; get it right here.
In a related note, I really, really dislike that Amazon forces you to install its pitiful "MP3 Downloader" to download albums. Believe it or not, that was the biggest obstacle/annoyance I had to get over to start getting these albums. You can do better Amazon, you can do better.
