It may be the economy, but, they want stuff that they think can sell. bye, Kerry KrW I'm Peter Pan! I'm perpetually young!! OW!!

This is just a file sharing service - The "buy it here" button goes on say my blog and links to paypal and the music is stored on an Amazon server so, it's not like everyone will be going to Amazon. They'll be going to artists webpages, blogs, myspaces, etc The files can be enormous and super high quality audio. Amazon just owns the servers...and employs the engineers to maintain them. Make more sense? I am sitting on my FitBall on my patio in 70F degree weather at midnight, surrounded by Brugmanisia's in bloom...they have a nearly narcotic scent!!! I guess global warming has an upside. Tomorrow I get to see Theresa Andersson (again) at Hotel Cafe and will get more pix of her tomorrow and on the 30th. www.myspace.com/birdiepix see hotel cafe folder She is pretty much blew the audience away last week...she is exactly live as she is in the videos - same instruments - pedal board - kitchen stool for her sampler - the only diff I noticed is she has a white shag carpet instead of a sheet on the floor.... She'll be on Conan first week of february.....we are so lucky to have her this month at the Hotel Cafe as after Conan - no doubt - she'll be at festivals and touring big venues.... She opens her set - acapella - dropping the downbeat with a tambourine....which I was able to get a pix of even tho she was in very low light.... she is extraordiary....the CD is pretty diverse and takes awhile to explore - she has one song that reminds of Kate Bush... who'd have thought! A real treasure... Keep warm and we hope you can make it out to see RT/JO!!

It's probably both in the US and the UK, but here's an article about the UK. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/retailing/article5337770.ece Of course, I won't shop at Asda in the UK as it's owned by Wal-Mart (and I avoided that chain when I lived in the US), so perhaps it's just me.

Every Good Boy is an exciting band out of Brooklyn, New York who has recently released their debut album, *The Human Haiku* . The band's frontwoman, Orly Bendavid, is a talented twenty-something beauty school dropout who ultimately decided to chase her true dream - music. Inspired early by artists ranging from Ani DiFranco, Fiona Apple, Tori Amosand Jeff Buckley , Bendavid began her own form of songwriting, determined to turn her passion of music into a full-time job that she could share with those willing to listen. [image: Every Good Boy - The Human Haiku] Every Good Boy - The Human Haiku After a move to windy Chicago, the Southern California native began to formulate her band. She found a drummer in David Pitz and in the years that followed, violinist Jane Park, bass player Dan Tamberell and multi-instrumentalist Thomas Ricciuti were added to the group, marking the official birth of Every Good Boy, a name derived from the mnemonic device used for recalling the notes on the treble clef. Their debut, *The Human Haiku*, is a ten-track collection of sharp folk-rock, encompassing an array of emotions with topics that nearly anyone can relate to: love, heartache, grief, pain. Opening the album is "String Bean," is an infectious head-bopper which tells the story of a teenage stripper and her unfortunate life choices, despite being a pretty girl with much more potential. "The Writer," another highlight, is a fantastic marriage of instruments which beautifully demonstrates how cohesive Bendavid and company are as a band. While there are many other standouts found on *The Human Haiku*, it's on "Lilian," a sweeping, string-heavy beauty which really allows Bendavid's vocals to shine. It's an effecting song, both in mood and delivery. Hey, don't you know You make every one's life a little less lonely Hey, don't you know It's the reason why they come to drink with you only ~ *Every Good Boy* Every Good Boy is steadily promoting the new album and just recently received confirmation that their track, "Stairmaster," will be released on Under The Radar 's February-April compilation. And later in the year, the band will be performing at L.A.'s Hotel Cafe.

After all, you're the one who turned me on to them. Unless by "she" you mean Marie Daulne, the leader. Are they one of those groups with a revolving membership and only one constant member? Try selling your CDBaby odds-n-ends at The Game Nut here in Lawrence. I think they will take them, because I've bought used CDs there that didn't have any bar code at all. - - Greg B.> > Hi, When I could not really put into words any differences I found> between the new Zap Mama and the older catalog that she had disowned > OT note: Indies from CDBaby, etc, can't be resold in the usual> outlets.

She's doing > pre-release shows at Hotel Cafe in LA this month. yes, actually, i saw her about two years ago at st. james hall here in vancouver (i'd never been to the venue before - i have since). she was opening for erin mckeown. i'd never heard of her before but it was a great introduction! as i recall, the lights were down so low, with a deep blue spotlight on the stage, that it basically felt like the dead of night and it was almost hard to keep your eyes open. and then eleni came onstage and started her rather mesmerising performance (barely visible, mind you) and it really *was* hard to keep my eyes open, but in a good way. i remember thinking that my friend keri, who i was there with and who generally likes her music loud, was going to be bored to tears, but she was enthralled too. i bought _miracle of five_ after the concert and i love it - i've been thinking that i ought to look into getting some more of her cds. i'd definitely go see her if she's ever in town again. - -damon - -- dl+ecto@usrbin.ca: protecting my real address since 2002 (too late!) > EWS starts here! < http://www.last.fm/user/kalaleq/ ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 17:01:58 -0800 From: birdie Subject: Re: Eleni Mandell? I saw her last week and have a few pix - but - i haven't put them up yet....she followed Theresa Andersson, whom I am seeing again in about 2 hours - I am doin a series of pix of TA during her tenure at the Hotel Cafe.... Eleni's Band was tight!!!! TIGHT! nice vintage guitars for all inc, the bass.... They have a nice retro 80's guitar pop sound, with a little bit of an edge to it.... Fun to look at - all the way around. and, I would check out their t-shirts. On Jan 20, 2009, at 4:40 PM, neal copperman wrote: > Has anyone seen Eleni live?

I felt she was a little cold and it was really more about a look and attitude and retro - Kinda like if you were window shopping for cool vintage guitars and sounds and the mannikins were flaunting things...in a strike some poses way... She was personable and chatted back and forth but, the songs didn't grab me.... But maybe behind all the surface stuff, they are there.

Sanagi - http://cdbaby.com/cd/sanagi2 My favourite album of 2007. Surely not for everyone, especially if you don't like melodies you can't get out of your head. :) Patty Moon - http://cdbaby.com/cd/pattymoon2 Haven't made up my mind yet, but this is a candidate for favourite album of 2008. Ruby Vileos - http://cdbaby.com/cd/rubyvileos3 Clevergirl - http://cdbaby.com/cd/clevergirl Solo project of Karen Sandvoss. Fun. Clever. Had to check out all her other projects after this one. So let's pass on to... Beautiful Engines - http://cdbaby.com/cd/beautifulengines Karen on drums and singing; Mark on bass. That's all, and more than enough.

CD Baby, as I recall, offers their own, too. it is just a registration system perhaps your resellers only sell things they sold, originally.
