Stretta’s Matthew Davidson pointed out Cosmo’s latest tip for saving money: wholesale music piracy: Cosmopolitan’s Bethany Heitman shares a ’shameless money-saving trick’, presumably after penning another fabulous hand-job how-to article: “Having new tunes is ideal, but shelling out the cash to buy said music hurts. Call up friends, and ask them to burn you a CD of songs they think you’ll like. Tell them you’ll do the same. Once you swap, you can upload the CD onto your computer and add it to your MP3 player.” I also have a shameless money-saving tip: don’t buy this magazine. Shelling out cash for Cosmo hurts, especially when they print crap like this instead of another hand-job how-to! Ladies - if you’re that hard up for music - check out Davidson’s very nice free album of ambient music. It’s A Towering Achievement of Indescribable Beauty.
