Haven't seen the video, caloysam. I'll be sure to watch out for it. Any other Alicia Keys fans here?

By the way, about the newly ripped to iTunes albums, you might want to post them on the specific thread for them here. (http://www.philmug.org.ph/viewthread.php?tid=70) :P

1. Fill It Up Again - Indigo Girls
2. Some Kind of Wonderful - Joss Stone
3. The Remedy - AOL Sessions with Jason Mraz

Most recent purchases:

Motown (Japan) - Michael McDonald (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=1645766) - The former Doobie Brothers frontman reworks some classic Motown tunes, and helps us to forget just how badly another Michael -- Bolton -- cocked up the same project a few years ago. If you love that Motown sound, this one's a keeper.

iTunes Essentials: Breakup Songs (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=5265818) - I haven't broken up with anyone recently (thank God), but this collection of songs is superb. Jackson Browne's "Late for the Sky" alone is worth the price of admission. I find sad songs a whole lot more interesting than "silly love songs" as Paul McCartney would say (he was satirizing John Lennon, who made fun of those types of songs).

Most recent free downloads (courtesy of Apple-Pepsi promo):

Pictures of You - The Cure
Touch of Grey - Grateful Dead
Superman - Lazlo Bane
Stuck in the Middle with You - Stealers Wheel
Family Affair - Mary J. Blige
Hey Mama - Black Eyed Peas
Where is the Love? - Black Eyed Peas
Hey Ya! - Outkast
Stuck in a Moment (Acoustic) - U2
Solitaire - Clay Aiken

thanks for the tip adel! actually, i've got the whole alicia keys album and it's steady. not too mellow-dramatic; good soulful tunes:)

Nelly Furtado's Acoustic AOL exclusives were my last purchase. :D

OMG! U HAVE to listen to Clay Aiken sing Solitaire! It's unbelievable! Clay's unbelievable! :lol:

"Thunder, Lightning, Strike" (http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?playlistId=19621846) Album - The Go! Team

OT: What are the advantages to the members if PhilMUg becomes an iTunes affiliate?

We can be, although it seems useless. It clearly states in the FAQ:

Can websites outside the United States join?
Yes, but since the iTunes Affiliate Program is only for the U.S. iTunes Music Store, we seek affiliates who cater to customers residing in the United States.

The majority of the members here can't even get an account, much less buy a song, since our country is not allowed to use the iTMS. We have a handful who are iTMS-enabled-country -based, but you can count them on your fingers. Still, I suppose it can't hurt. Kayo.

I managed to fulfill most of the requirements for it, even though I am Manila-based, so I have an account. Now, to get back on topic: I recently purchased two iTMS Exclusives: Sowing The Seeds of Love and Everybody Wants To Rule The World by the newly-revitalized Tears for Fears. Nice 2004 versions.

After getting my coupon here is the list that I got so far.
Quite old already but still the best for me.
Especially the exhilirating Blue Rondo ala turke of Al Jareau

Oh, that's why. Too bad, it looked like a nice way for some folks to literally chip in their 2 cents. :-)
