This news may not be very recent, but it’s most definitely worth the recognition.  Every Tuesday in 10,000 of the participating Starbucks in the U.S. there’s a small card with a magical code.  This code holds your new source of music discovery. 

Starbucks teamed up with iTunes in 2007 to produce the Song of the Day.  This Song of the Dayis a free downloadable song from a selected artist, courtesy of Starbucks.  

I’ve recieved cards from famous artists such as John Legend and Regina Spektor.  Starbucks also serves as a showcase to new up coming artists such as The Flaming Lips. 

I suggest that the next time you go to buy a grande chocolate-chip Frappuccino you grab a hold of that Song of the Day card.  It’s about time the students of LHS open their ears to a new music sensation every now and then.  More specifically, every Tuesday.
