OMWH Digest: Wal-Mart Bonus Track Revealed, iTunes Pre-Order Tomorrow

Wal-Mart has released the title of the bonus track to be on their editions of "On My Way Here". According to WalMart.com, the bonus track is "Forget I Ever Knew You". You'll also notice that Wal-Mart has a special cover art, different from the regular CD (see right).

Apple's iTunes music store will begin accepting pre-orders tomorrow for OMWH. If you order the album during this pre-order period, iTunes will give you a bonus track. We do not know what that bonus track is going to be, but apparently, it will be different from Wal-Mart's.

OMWH was mentioned on yesterday's VH1 Top 20 Countdown, says the CB's ClayandKimfan. The SendSpace download for the video cap is here.

I m watching VH1 Top 20 Countdown and just before they played One Republics Stop and Stare video the how mention how the lead sings been writining for different singers. And she mentioned he'll be working with Kelly Clarkson. Then she said theres another AI aritist hes wrote for. And she said Clays name and his CD cover poped up. She mentioned its out May 6 and that the title track was written by the One Rupublic lead singer. I keep forgetting his name. So exciting the promontion going on for this CD compared to ATDW. Way to go Clay!!!

• Computer World - article about Apple's Time Capsule backup machine mentions Clay! Wow!

  But being able to add a Time Capsule to an existing network like my mom's means she may luck out when her birthday rolls around in May. Right now, she has to plug in a USB drive to back up all the Clay Aiken songs, videos and pictures she's accumulated on her laptop.

• AOL Sports: Fanhouse - Carrie Underwood at L.A. Kings hockey game - not exactly sure why they think Clay "butchered" his song, "I Will Carry You" on ice.
  

  Oh, we believe it. If the Hurricanes can have Clay Aiken butcher songs on the ice, Ms. Underwood surely can attempt to woo Robert Nilsson away from the sea donkeys back home.
  
  "I will carrrrry youuuuu."

• Citizens Voice - Christmas tour ... "Clay Aiken’s Christmas in the Heartland will be presented tonight at 7 at the F.M. Kirby Center, Public Square, Wilkes-Barre. Tickets start at $40. For information, call 826-1100. "
• Staunton News Leader - cleaning up my iPod -

  It's an incredible amount of very bad music, not only because there's a lot of bad music being written and recorded today but because most of it was free — the reason that I downloaded it in the first place. Something for nothing, or nothing for nothing. In all the gratis stuff cluttering up my music player, there's only one sing worth keeping, and it isn't "Clay Aiken Sings the Ice-T Songbook."

Clay Blogs: Looks Like He Got His iPhone!

By the looks of his VERY brief and cryptic blog tonight, our adorably cute and geeky Clay isn't leaving himself out of the Apple iPhone fever that hit its climax earlier tonight when the hot $600 music and video playing phones went on sale at Apple and AT & T stores nationwide.

Clay wasn't the only celebrity spotted hunting down an iPhone today, however. Philadelphia's mayor was spotted lining up outside Philadelphia's Apple store earlier today.

Have fun with your iPhone, Clay!

Update 6/30: Clay blogged again on Friday night... this time from his iPhone! Cool!
