This is the best online store I’ve ever used

http://www.cdbaby.com/

It was so good, so easy to use and so pleasant, that I bought a CD just because it would have been rude not to, like when someone offers you a homemade cookie when you're already full. Go ahead and try it. ps. I bought an album by Jon Brion.

Overheard

“To love is to stop comparing.”

...who said it?

“Let us face a pluralistic world in which there are no universal churches, no single remedy for all diseases, no one way to teach or write or sing, no magic diet, no world poets, and no chosen races, but only the wretched and wonderfully diversified human race.”

...who said it?

“Music is all about timing”

...who said it?

“I do something wrong: accident. You do something wrong: character flaw.”

...who said it?

“If you climb in the saddle, be ready for the ride”

...who said it?

Yeah! Both CDs I’ve bought from cdbaby were from independent musicians whom I’d met at some point in the past. After each purchase, I received a personalized email from the artist (Darryl Purpose in one case, and Bea in the other) thanking me for buying the CD, and citing the city and venue where they had met me. I know that’s just as much a function of the artists as the CD store, but there’s still something really special when that can happen. I’ve yet to receive any emails from people whose books and CDs I’ve bought from Amazon—even the people I know.
