You might actually miss the FreeCredit guys
We mentioned this on Twitter last week, but these dudes deserve a whole item. FreeCreditReport.com (now called FreeCreditScore.com) is officially retiring the FreeCreditReport band, who sang those mind-bendingly catchy jingles in ads from The Martin Agency. Truly, it's the end of an era. In remembrance of their schlocky awesomeness, check out the video below, featuring NINE of their songs. FreeCreditScore is now starting a nationwide search for a new band, and is accepting video applications. Head to the site or to YouTube to view the submissions. There seem to be only two so far, including one posted after the jump. Voting starts June 7. Remember, if you don't vote, you don't get to complain. And you're probably going to want to complain.
