Frosty Jack Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 http://www.cdbaby.com/I've bought a couple of things from this site, and they're great. This is one of the emails I got from them after ordering - "Thanks for your order with CD Baby!Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves withsterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sureit was in the best possible condition before mailing.Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell overthe crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that moneycan buy.We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole partymarched down the street to the post office where the entire town ofPortland waved 'Bon Voyage!' to your package, on its way to you, inour private CD Baby jet on this day, Wednesday, July 21st.I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did. Your picture is on our wall as 'Customer of the Year'. We're allexhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!Thank you once again,Derek Sivers, president, CD Babythe little CD store with the best new independent music"CDs appeared three days later, (they're in the US), and they're pretty cheap too.nb - no, I don't work for them, just thought I'd give them a mention. Made me laugh, anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've lowered my aims now, and will be quite happy to dominateHolburn Street. I'd like to dominate Drakes, but I'd have to ask Jim and Sharon very nicely first.Seriously though....there's a lot of excellent music on CD Baby. Personally I reccommend Mrs Pilgrimm....a female songwriter using cello through Line 6 loop effects.....ace! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
