MP3s For The End Of The World?

Posted Tue Sep 30, 2008 1:10pm PDT by Ken Micallef in Better Living Through MP3

Hello kids, the market's in the tank! I know your mom and pops are heavily invested through either their 401k at work or perhaps some mutual funds, but not to worry! The future holds full employment for you re indentured servitude to the great powers of Russia, China, India and maybe the U.K. While New York has collapsed as a financial market, London is already calling itself "the city that never sleeps." Oh, the humanity!

So in keeping with what we do best in the U.S. when the going gets tough, here are some true blues to soothe your parent's furrowed brows. Heck, when they tell you that you'll just have to make do with a year-old iPod or your older brother's jeans, you too might get the blues. Then you'll dig deeper. Howlin' Wolf and Magic Sam will become your friends. Son House will introduce you to the joys of hard drinking. Sonny Boy Williamson will curse your name if you ever mention "a little village." You might even want to invest in that Time Life box, A Real History Of The Blues For White Peoples.

Meanwhile, enjoy these top selling blues downloads from the ever dependable people at IODA Promonet. Who needs Wall Street when you've been down so long it's starting to look up?

these aren't songs for the end of the world, these are songs that make you wish the world would hurry up and end already
