December 12th, 2007How to give an mp3 like a present
Music is like perfume: you can’t really buy it for someone unless you test drive it first. Well, I’ve done some test driving for you, and hopefully found some songs and albums that will instantly make you think of that stubborn friend or relative who doesn’t realize what they are missing. And, in my opinion, there is no cooler gift than turning someone on to a brand new song that they can’t live without.
Another problem with buying music for someone else is that people don’t like to wait for their favorite artists’ music. They buy it online as soon as it’s released. But, some of my favorite songs have stripped down, acoustic versions, or live versions that seem to capture the song perfectly. There are so many cool versions of songs available to the public with a little digging.
There are plenty of cool possibilities when gifting music, and half the fun is in the discovery. Happy listening!
