Oh, yes, please. Complete my album. ("May I have more, please?")



What! "LIMITED-TIME OFFER!"



And I have no money! No checking account! No credit card!

I am so screwed!

OH NO! There's more! (Well, I did ask for it.)

Eligible albums. Up to six months after first downloading a song.

Well, let's see what they've got.



Oh no. I've got 480 eligible albums to look at - 21 at a time - let's see 480 / 21 = 22.8571428571 pages to look at. Okay, maybe just the first 2 or 3.

Yo-Yo Ma - Bach: Cello Suites - $19.00

Man, that would be so suite!

Look, I can complete all of Quadrophenia - for 99¢ ! Ninety-nine cents! And I can't do it! Aargh! to quote that great Midwestern philosopher Charlie Brown.

Wide Awake in America!

Patti Smith - Horses - Legacy Edition - 13.03.

Speaking in Tongues - 3.96.

Another Green World. Another Green World.

Roxy Music - 3.06. For Your Pleasure - 5.04.

Too Much Too Soon - 6.93.

If I Was - 7.02.

Strange Angels - 6.93.

Fire of Unknown Origin

MYSTERIOUS TRAVELER - WEATHER REPORT - 11.00!

TIMELESS - JOHN ABERCROMBIE - 6.03.

Dylan - Blood on the Tracks.

Solstice.

Manifest Destiny - The Dictators - 6.93. (I like typing 6-9-3.)

Casino - 1.98.

And I might as well end with the last album - after all, it is only appropriate, and, after all, it's only - 22.8571428571 page-turns later.

Night Passage - Weather Report - 9.00.

For me, all offers expire: Jun 26, 2007.



There you have it. Just a few of the 480 albums waiting for me to complete.

Well - that's not going to happen.
