Into the Great Wide Open

I come to you today not with foolish talk and banter (oh there will be that too, but that's not why I come), but rather to discuss one of my favorite artists and to show you one of the recent updates we've made here at UnSpun.

Have you ever looked at one of our lists of songs and just weren't sure when you saw a title if it was the song you were thinking of? Or, perhaps you saw a title and couldn't quite place the song itself. Frustrating, very frustrating. I know, I've been there. Well, check out the way things work now (and click here if you don't see the widget below and you'll get to check it out on Facebook):

Just above, as you see, we have the "Top Tom Petty Songs" list and next to the vast majority of the songs there's a cute little "listen" button (if you're over at Facebook you need to click the "i" button next to the song for more info first). That's right, you click the "listen" button and you can listen to a sample of the song. Easy as pie, less caloric, and just as satisfying. Plus, these are Tom Petty (some with the Heartbreakers and some not so much) songs I've shown you, and he has to be one of the greatest artists around. Just seeing the list of songs gives me the warm fuzzies. Not only do his melodies stick with you, but the songs are awfully fun to sing yourself.

As an example of how much fun it is to sing Tom Petty, I actually figured out how to upload an mp3 of me singing "Mary Jane's Last Dance" to this piece.  I was going to insert it right here, but it struck me at the last minute that I like you guys and want you to return to the blog, me singing would ensure against that. So, while I won't make you suffer listening to my singing, I will encourage you to click that little "listen" button and to hear Tom Petty perform yourself.

Some Twitter users thought the "Last Chance" message was a terrorist threat. Others assumed the Wall St. protesters were behind it. http://www.mtsconverter.com.br Artist Kim Beck, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh who lives part time in New York, chose messages from advertising billboards as cryptic comments on the faltering economy. http://www.mtsconverter.com.br/mts-converter-for-mac.htm
