A belated Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrated it!

I’ve been spending the past two days loading up my new Sansa Clip. It’s got twice the space than my old Sansa, plus it officially works with Rhapsody to Go. This means I only have to renew the license, instead of reformating and reloading the damn player, each month. Woot! Sadly, it seems everyone and their mother is currently downloading from Rhapsody. I’ve had the occasional glitch where a download would grind to a halt before it was completed before, but this is crazy! In addition to regularly encountering the aforementioned issue, I’m now finding many tunes I want are “currently unavailable,” but if I go back the next day (or even an hour later) the file is available again. It’s frustrating!

For shits and grins I decided to see if Rhapsody had any tunes by Alvin and the Chipmunks (don’t you dare tell you haven’t seen that annoying commercial for their new CD, at least once!). I was disappointed to learn they did not have Ragtime Cowboy Joe, one of my childhood faves. However, and you may want to brace yourselves for this, the Chipmunks have done a cover of The Time Warp. Yes, mini Transylvanians everywhere can now demand a Chipmunk Magenta “fuck that bird!” *headdesk* Scarily, I would welcome a Chipmunk remake of RHPS. At least that would make sense.
