Jack’s Mannequin

Short post tonight... 
I started listening to a new band, Jack's Mannequin. 
I think they sound a lot like "The Fray" and I really like their music. 
Combine heartfelt lyrics with some awesome piano work and  you have a great combo. 
I'm hoping that they come to Chicago on their upcoming tour. I would defiantly go see them. 
If you want to check them out, I would suggest the songs "Holiday from Real" and a song thats not on iTunes but you can check it out here, called Katie. Katie is a song about his sister who was his donor after he was diagnosed with cancer. It's so good you have to go listen to it!
I hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think.

I NEED MONEY

I'm actually writing my blob on time today. Why, you ask. Because I have reached rock bottom. --The rock bottom of my iTunes account. That's right, I have $0.03.... So here I am making a wish list of all the songs that I really want. I never understood why people use Limewire or other music sharing sites. They are illegal and only hurts the artist. But here I am craving music and I am lacking funds. 
I think that I tunes should lower their prices. Or have a frequent buyer program. Wouldn't it be great if they had a program where if you bought 100 songs you get 10 songs free.  Music shouldn't put us in the poor house. There are actually having confrences to find out a better way to distribute music. Read more here. 
I'm very conflicted right now... lol... I need music, but have no money. (*tear tear)
