I do. Do you? Click here or the link on my sidebar, and read on for more details.
A few days ago Gorilla vs. Bear put up a link to an Iron & Wine/Calexico show from the Triple Door in Seattle. In addition to being an excellent performance in which they covered “Wild Horses” by the Rolling Stones, October 22, 2005 (the date of the show) was also the date my daughter was born. (I know, mushy and yucky, but c’mon…)
Now I am pretty convinced that the whole free iPod thing is legit, but being a bit skeptical (and greedy) I want to see if I can get one of my own. Plus, the new iPod is so sweet. I already signed up and painlessly completed an offer that got me a whole lotta good coffee from Boca Java. I’m not sure if that offer is still valid, but I’m sure there are other good ones out there. For a referral, click here
Now I have done a little homework on Gratis Internet (the company behind freeiPods.com) and they seem to be too legit to quit. In fact, they were named the 18th fastest growing company in the U.S. in Inc. Magazine’s prestigious 2005 Inc. 500 ranking.
Many of the offers that you must sign up for to get your iPod are with big name companies like eBay, AOL, Citicard, etc. I can only assume that those companies would not want to take part in an internet scam that could harm their reputations. Besides, the economics behind the system make sense from business perspective.
Anyhow, Wired and Geek.com have both said it works, so I’m gonna try to get mine. If you want to help me out and get started on your own free iPod, just click here.
Now Death From Above 1979 has a remix album coming out. What’s up with all the remix records these days? Anyhow, the new record is fantastic and (oh yeah) DFA 1979 totally slays. In addition to other artists reworking their tunes, they also have a fuzzed out version of a Bloc Party tune on that English group’s own remix album. Whew.
MP3 | Death From Above – You’re Lovely (But You’ve Got Problems) Romance Bloody Romance
MP3 | Bloc Party – Luno (Bloc Party vs. Death From Above 1979) Silent Alarm Remixed

Let me know when you actually get your iPod. Until then, we’ll see. I do like how you did a write-up about it, therefore eliminating the spam element. It just feels too good to be true, and you know what they say about that. They are smart…
o0o0o0o good luck with the ipod thing! I tried it for a bit and I’m also pretty sure it’s legit – but I think you may run into trouble with people who sign up for offers and you never get credit for it. My sister signed up for the Blockbuster deal and I never received credit for it. But I got tired of waiting anyway and ended up just buying one, so I never bothered to call up and complain to see if they would fix it. But, if you can, find out who actually signs up under you and track it to make sure you get credit for their signup.
I clicked on your Ipod link and did you a favor, hopefully someone will do me a favor as well, by clicking on my Ipod link. Then we can rock our Ipods into eternity (or until the batteries die!)
You have to wait 15 days before you can complain about not getting credit for anything. FYI.
which offer did you guys do?
we did the coffee one. we got some good coffees. they werent starbucks though!
We shall wait and see what this brings. I’ll keep ya’ll posted.
