What You Would Trade For The Last Song You Downloaded

We asked you to tell us what you think the last song you bought or downloaded for free was actually worth by sending us a picture of what you would have traded for it. Here are some of your responses:

"The last music I bought was the Raincoats reissue from Kill Rock Stars. I paid a grand total of fifteen dollars. Of the eleven tracks, 'In Love' is now one of my favorite songs ever. I paid roughly $1.36 for the track. That's about how much I would pay for a VHS [tape] these days. I'd trade my VHS copy of The Scorpion King for 'In Love' by the Raincoats."

"Last song I downloaded was Rodriguez's 'Crucify Your Mind.' I would say it's worth my giant-size Timmy H travel mug, used daily, loved deeply."

"Sense Field's 'No Man's Land' -- only worth half a Snickers, 'cause the song is half good."

"Edwin Booth statue in Gramercy Park for 'It's Only Rock N Roll.' "

"The last not-free song I downloaded for free was Eamon 'F*ck it' -- it was worth a broken toliet."
