By the way…I love that I’ve been able to supply links so that readers of my blog can hear most of the songs on my playlists, thanks to Lala.com. Sadly, the site is shutting down as of May 31, 2010. Get it while you can! Lala was bought by Apple, which will presumably adapt the technology for iTunes. Will it mean getting to hear entire cuts for free? We’ll see, baby, we’ll see….
