|  #2 Posted on 8.11.04 0033.46 | Instant Rating: 5.75 | Big props to posting this here. It was quite an interesting look into the world of downloads. I'm happy that the Team America Soundtrack is doing well. Last night, I had to go to four music stores to find it, and it was well worth the wait.
My only real question- Who is STILL downloading Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes? Isn't that song like three years old?
Oh, and that Train band, they are really a ROCK group! Sure Nuff.
RORY: So, is this party Grandma's having going to be a big deal?
LORELAI: Not really. The government will close that day. Flags will fly at half-mast. Barbra Streisand will give her final concert...again.
RORY: Uh-huh.
LORELAI: Now, the Pope has previous plans, but he's trying to get out of them. However, Elvis and Jim Morrison are coming and they're bringing chips.

| #7 Posted on 8.11.04 0843.29 | Instant Rating: 3.72 | Eminem's "Just Lose It" is listed twice as well. I'm assuming that since it's a generated list, it's one of three things:
1. There's a single cut that's shorter than the album cut (which is unlikely since they'd probably denote that).
2. There's an unedited album version and a "clean" version.
3. Since it's a generated list, it may be two mp3 versions with different bitrates.
Again, though, just an assumption.

"Four more years of American soldiers being used as cannon fodder. Four more years of scientific decisions being made by people who believe in a ghost in the clouds. Four more years of debt that our children and grandchildren will have to pay off. Four more years of racists and lunatics for judicial appointments. Four more years of looting the treasury and squandering it on corporate cronies. Four more years of making enemies faster than we can kill them. Four more years of fear and darkness and racism and hatred and stupidity and guns and bad country music.
I look at the big map and all of the red in flyover country and I feel like I've been locked in a room with the slow learners. We have become the country that pulls a dry cleaning bag over its head to play astronaut."

I would never complain about the listings because it is an interesting thing to see. I just wonder about the actual numbers of downloads when What Is Love by Haddaway is still being downloaded.
I mean come on, the Night at the Roxbury skits have been done for YEARS.
WADSWORTH: The games up, Scarlet. There are no more bullets left in that gun.
SCARLET: Oh, come on, you don't think I'm gonna fall for that old trick?
WADSWORTH: It's not a trick. There was one shot at Mr. Boddy in the study. Two for the chandelier, two at the lounge door, and one for the singing telegram.
SCARLET:That's not six.
WADSWORTH: One plus two plus two plus one.
SCARLET:Nuh, uh. There was only one shot that got the chandelier. That's one plus two plus ONE plus one.
WADSWORTH: Even if you are right, that would be one plus one plus two plus one, not one plus TWO plus one plus one.
SCARLET:(thinking) Okay, fine.One plus two plus one--(angered) Shut up!

At this time, we don't have an easy way for you to make an iTunes link with our affiliate information - that might be something that I can work on later.

That is an excellent point. I've added it for next week's run (assuming I didn't break anything).

| #14 Posted on 8.11.04 2056.03 | Instant Rating: 8.81 | I didn't want the list to get too long. There are about 30 different areas we can track - I just picked the top ones. Country should have been picked if I was going to put Comedy and Soundtracks in, though. Good call.

...and I'll take the OVER. I think that it's a worthy advertisement/post, good conversation can come of it.
Oh yeah...funny how some of the songs in the COMEDY section are over five years old.
Also, where's the Country?
