Tomorrow 02/01/2010 : 2009-EOY-TOP 150 US (Best Reviewed Albums In The US)

Re: MEGA-CRITIC : 2009-EOY-TOP 150 UK (Best Reviewed Albums In Thw UK)

Can't believe i won it! This is so cool and unexpected.

But there's a problem, i live in a small small SMALL town here in Brazil. I once tried to buy headphones online and i never received, at least i got my money back. I guess sending the album will be like a big headache to everyone involved. I really wanted the CD, since everything i have is downloaded from the internet. I have 2000 digital albums, i don't have physical copies and i really wish i did. Here in my town you can't find those international, critically acclaimed artists, and that sucks. So unfortunate i have to turn down the cd thing, which is something i think is really cool about this Mega critic stuff, aside the fact that you get to know the greatest albums of the year. My town sucks, it's like a really small egg, but one day i will live in New York or any other global city, until then i won't have a physical copy.

I am sorry not to be able to send you your CD, HRS, but I donated the money to the organisation ´Grain de Sable´ which helps street kids in Rio.
