I love free music… well, I love free legal<\/EM> music<\/a>.  I may have to wait a while for another Mercedes Benz mixed tape<\/a> but starting tomorrow (2\/8) MSN Music<\/A> is starting its Grammy blitz by giving away one free song from each category.  A panel of music professionals is going to attempt to predict the winner in each category… then MSN Music<\/A> will give away the song predicted to win.  So, not only is it free music, it’s good, free music.  You know it’s good, the professionals told you so.<\/P>
\n

Now, before you point out that I’m just being a corporate pawn to Microsoft<\/A> let me say this… first: I am a total pawn, second: even if I weren’t a pawn I still like free music.  So there, I’m a sell-out… but I’m a cheap, stingy sell-out… that must be worth something.<\/P>
\n

There will be one free song per day, starting on February 8th.  Using my top-secret, internal Microsoft sources<\/A> I’ve determined the order the songs will be released in is:<\/P>
\n

    \n
  5. Saturday, Feb. 12: Best Country Song<\/LI><\/OL>
    \n

    So, there you are, in the greatest of corporate traditions a big company has told you what you’re going to like.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
