Ok, so downtown yesterday, the Scion car company was doing a promo in partnership with the Homers Record Store. It you took a ride in one of their new models around the block, you got 15 bucks in form of gift certificate to spend at Homers. No catch.
So, of course, I took the ride, and got the free shit! Picked up Boards Of Canada - Trans Canada Highway EP 12" and Influx - Evolvers 12". I may go again to get some more free money, dress up in costumes, use a fake moustache, etc. Or get some friends to do it, who don't like music like this, then I can get lotsa' tunes free. ;)

Someone must pay the price. In this case, Mother Earth.

Ok, well, I was kind of pissed that they would be allowed to do that. I mean, anyone who wanted to could find a way to wipe out a lot of the music there, and Homers wouldn't see a dime of it.
But still, it's 15 bucks free of music.

Kinda like Jurrasic 5. When you come down, if gthey are still here, take the test ride. It lasts maybe 10 seconds, then you fill out a gay survey, they give you a t-shirt, a promo sampler CD, and the 15 dollar card.

They didn't have much, a few BOC albums, Twoism I saw, Geodaddi, lots of Hot Chip, that kind of stuff. Come check it out.
I like the Scions that look like a big box, the really square ones. I think they look cool without all the graphics on them, just one solid color.

Scion does that here (and other cities) they throw like a free event or two everymonth (with big names) @ the shelter (in detroit)
last month they had a hienekin (i still can't spell that beer) night; i.e. free beer
missed that night
DAMN!
also, at all the free events they always have like 50 shouldbags (to hold vinyl) to give away and a bunch of stuff
they dont force their marketing on you too hard either. :)

But they are all super, duper white people wearing high-fashion mall clothes, talking black. "Hey bro, just jump in tha' trailer and my boy Steve will hook you up." That's what some lady said to me, wearing a a full fur coat and makeup. She was part of the Scion crew.
I loled.

I find it hard to get excited about £15 worth of free music when I have 100s of pounds worth queued up on Slsk.
