But, silly old Issa -- it's "self-determined pricing" and i paid $20 -- which is what i would pay for a CD in a retail shop here in Canada. But evidently most people are paying around $10 -- cheapskates! -- and, she sent me two copies (one of them personally autographed to me). (No, i've already promised the supernumerary copy to someone else.) But i want her to make money and thereby be able to afford to make more records, and was rather embarrassed by her gesture. *OR* She is making a profit and it's the major labels, with their constant whingeing about poor sales, who are without a clue. I suspect the latter.... Anyway, the CD is just fabulous, she reminds me a lot of a singer i am very fond of called Jane Siberry LOL Richard ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 19:12:27 -0500 From: Anna Creech Subject: Re: Letters and spelling Well, that would at least explain what happened to the song title. ;) My guess is that the characters allowed by the ecto mailing list software does not include the little "a" with a circle on top (C% or Alt+0229). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%85#On_computers On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 10:45 AM, Elin BekkebrC%ten SjC8lie wrote: > OK, why does my letters change when my mails appear on the list?

Plus freight, of course. The second copy is for you to distribute where you think it will do the most good, also from her site. You can play one upstairs and the other downstairs, of course, thereby achieving stereo.

My fave CD of hers is her very first one, oh so long ago...this is just about as good. And parts of it remind me of Aerial, what with the non-musical sounds and all. Very nice listening. - --Doug On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 4:57 PM, Richard Messum wrote: > I ordered Issa's "Dragon Dreams" from her website a couple of weeks ago, and > it arrived yesterday, and am listening to it for the second time now and it's > already on my "best of 2009" list. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 21:58:25 -0500 From: Anna Creech Subject: Re: Issa's "Dragon Dreams" If she sells enough copies to pay for making the album and has enough to live on beyond that, then yes, the price is right. Major labels have a lot more overhead than a solo DIY artist, and therefore they have some justification in over-pricing their products. As for the extra copy... if it results in a new listener who will buy the subsequent albums and any back catalog, then it's simply an effective viral marketing plan. :) Anna On Thu, Jan 29, 2009 at 5:57 PM, Richard Messum wrote: > I ordered Issa's "Dragon Dreams" from her website a couple of weeks ago, > and > it arrived yesterday, and am listening to it for the second time now and > it's > already on my "best of 2009" list. > > But, silly old Issa -- it's "self-determined pricing" and i paid $20 -- > which > is what i would pay for a CD in a retail shop here in Canada.

I have only one complaint: I want more. But I would have had that complaint no matter how long it was... Much better than Maria, which was just OK. On a par with  but very different from  When I was a Boy. If changing her name to Issa was what it took to get her head in a different place so she could do this, then that's what it took. Easily my favorite album for 2008.
