We’ve got two new contests for ya today.

Quality Work Music - "Runaway Train" by Soul Asylum
This is a sad song. Perfect for Monday morning, you know, on the account of Monday morning being a real pest in general. "Always Sunny" fans will know this from the season 5 classic, "The Gang hits the road". Here is the clip! Tight. Kaitlin Olson should ...

  1. iPod Killer, you make me laugh.

  2. When I saw that there was going to be an “Urge” contest I was hoping it was Urge Overkill….

  3. URGE is bound to bomb using the WMA format. And they claim that the iPod only plays AAC files because that’s how Apple made them. Wrong. It also plays MP3, AIFF, WAV, and .AA (Audible) formats. I don’t anitcipate millions of people ditching their iPods to buy a “PlaysForSure” device only to get locked into the Windows Media realm. Stupid.

    iPod Killer, huh. Seems like I’ve heard that before. Let’s ask
    iRiver
    Creative
    Sony
    Dell
    BenQ
    Rio
    Olympus
    Thomson
    Virgin
    all of which had products labeled as iPod killers, nearly all of which are now discontinued. Good luck though, Microsoft. You always do such a great job.

    I have the URGE to throw up.

    Is the contest open to Canadians? B/c Canada was listed as one of the country options, but then you were obligated to choose a state. . .which doesn’t make sense.

  6. Yeah, open to Canadians. We’ll fix that State field.

    wonder how much stereogum got paid to post this

  9. what gives stereogum
    peddling another musicnet reseller, branded with evil? hope it helped ya pay rent…

  10. heaven forbid stereogum announce a new way people share music.

    but i’m apparently wrong in thinking that the iPod is the be-all and end-all of life as we know it.

    a reading for the Book of Power,
    “and forsooth it was told that the larger of the pods shall give birth to a smaller one, one MILLIONTH the size of the virgin mother. and the land shall produce NO MORE accesories for the virgin mother, for it is now useless. if the new babe doth break (and it shall, as is told by the prophecy… starring christopher walken), thou shall not attempt to fix it, as it is impossible. thou shalst buy another one.”
    the word of steve jobs,
    thanks be to jobs
