Okay, I'm listening to all six tracks, per the instructions.

There better be a free shirt at the end of this rainbow ;)

No kidding. They really went downhill pretty far since the last time I listened to them (What's The Story Morning Glory)

I've listened to all six songs and received the special code to get the shirt. Now the site I'm supposed to go to in order to get the shirt is all buggered up.

Too bad it isn't a big site like warnerbrosrecordsstore.com. Oh. It is ;)

I played them on mute, it gave me a link, but my pop-up blocker blocked it. I clicked "copy to clipboard" instead and when I pasted, it said "Link copied to clipboard."

Now I'm doing it again in a different browser.

It's a lot of work for a shirt of a band I haven't listened to since 1998.

It's now changed to "You may be chosen to win an Oasis T-shirt."

I still can't get to warnerbrosrecordsstore.com. I even try pinging it directly and it times out.

I weighed the cost of a free t-shirt to listening to 6 oasis songs and decided it wasn't worth it.

Okay, I can get to warnerbrosrecrodsstore.com now, but the link to the shirt times out. Miserably.

I'll be pissed if I finally get the WB link to work and I'm expected to pay shipping.

I read that wrong. But since the audio is free to listen to it's still accurate.

This is freaky. I finally got to the order page. It said that I wanted 17 of the shirts for $220.83. I don't think so. I changed it to 1 shirt, then clicked Update. Still waiting...

More updates as events warrant...

AH HA! Now it wants me to click Proceed to Checkout. Let's see...

Oops. Have to go back and input the code. More waiting.

Bullshiat. It says that my "unique" gift code has already been redeemed.

Well, forget that one.

It said I was ordering 15 shirts.

I've tried it with four different times with four different codes and it says they've all been redeemed.

Why are all of you trying to get a free tshirt from a band you don't even like?
