Happy Birthday CD!
By Alexis Swerdloff
It turns out that today is the 25th birthday of the Compact Disc, aka the CD. Since August 17, 1982, there have been 200 billion CDs produced -- that's a lot of CDs! Though the mp3 has gone on to eclipse the CD in popularity, the CD is still chugging along. So, have a good one, CD. You deserve it.

Take That: Lip Service T-Shirt
By Alexis Swerdloff
So, when we posted that we were giving away a copy of the re-released Hope Floats soundtrack, we received a full-on onslaught of comments from people telling us why they deserved to own the CD. Clearly, we had hit a nerve! After poring over the oodles of emails, we finally decided to go the schmaltzy route, and settled upon Stefan. Here's why he deserves the Hope Floats soundtrack:
"My then-girlfriend (now my wife) and I watched this movie together back in 1998, just weeks before we got married. It was the first movie we watched together after getting back together after a 6-month break up. I am a sentimental fool, I admit, but it was this movie that convinced me to ask her the question. Our anniversary is coming up in a few weeks. Being able to give her this soundtrack would be a great anniversary gift."
Congrats, Stefan! Do us proud!
