So, apparently those wiley buggers the Eagles have released 3 new songs. I mean, totally new. Not crap from the vaults. Not dance mixes of “Heartache Tonight”. NEW. And I want them so, SO bad.
The problem is two-fold: First, it’s bundled with the Eagles DVD from their Australian dates. I already have this DVD. Second, it’s only available at Wal-Dump. The Eagles have teamed with Wal-Mart in some multi million dollar deal for marketing their new stuff. I’m not particularly opposed to Wal-Dump, it’s just my own personal vision of hell (and it’s based in Arkansas, which is the rest of the vision, so it all fits!) and I’m a little upset that Don Henley, the same guy that wrote lines like “Pray for the independent little man” is in cahoots with Wal-Mart. Mr. Anti Corporate? The guy who spent the 1990s yammering about the environment?
I mean, seriously. I feel so disillusioned.
So now what do I do? I could get D to buy one for me the next time she goes to Wal-Mart. I could buy one with cash – then it’s like I hardly bought one at all, right? I could just forget about it. The songs will most likely not be on iTunes (since Wal-Mart runs their own online music thing right?), so I can’t score them that way.
