is it sunday already?

wow, a 4-day weekend can really fly... especially when you have company 2 days in a row. friday the 4th was a few peeps over to grill and hang, saturday was another BBQ here to celebrate my parents' birthdays. now i have a few hours to relax today before i'm off to our last WCS rehearsal before tonight's performance. then somehow i have to get back into "work mode" for tomorrow!

angus had quite an eventful weekend as well -- he saw his first live dog. he's seen them before (at the vet, from the safety of his carrier), but this was the first time he's been in a room walking around with a dog. right. there. it was really cute to watch, bebe (the adorable beagle-y doggie) wanted to love him and he kind of kept his distance to see what her deal was... but there was no drama, just a lot of walking around and watching each other. awwwww.

my right foot feels weird today... it's like i need to crack a knucle, except in one of the little bones in my foot. ugh, please don't let this interfere with the performance tonight, i can't deal with an ouchy foot.

looking to suck up some info from my all-knowing peeps.

the situation: i want to eventually put some video of me hooping on the tailspin website. but i need to find music to hoop to that is legal (i full understand that i can't just take my favorite songs and pop them onto my website for free).

my questions:

1. i've heard of the "creative commons license" for some music, but my understanding is that music can be used for non-commercial purposes. since my website is mostly commercial, i'm assuming i wouldn't be able to use creative commons music then, correct?

2. do any of you know of any way for me to get the rights to use a portion of a song on my site for only a couple hundred bucks? i can't afford thousands of dollars in legal fees and music rights, i jsut want to find a cool danceable song that i can dance to, film it, and pop up the youtube link on one of my pages.

2. do any of you have recommendations for sites and/or specific songs that don't suck and would be hopefully reasonably priced to use?
