So Christmas was pretty good to me. Hasn’t really failed yet. However, the Christmas Haul article as you know it is dead. I don’t know if I’m going to do it differently this year, or just do it on the blog, or just skip it altogether. I haven’t decided yet. Just don’t expect the same article you’ve read the last three Christmaseses. I doubt this development (or lack thereof?) has ruined anyone’s day.
I do want to hock a site today. I recently bought the super-sweet Drist CD Orchids and Ammunition from CD Baby. Complimenting the awesomeness of the CD was the service provided to me by CD Baby. Their site is home to many many small-/no-name bands that would be impossible to find otherwise, and this alone scores a good amount of points. Then there’s the facts that it’s really easy to make a purchase from them, they sell for decent prices, and the site is very personally constructed. And by that I mean they built the site thinking of the consumers, so it feels like they’re catering specifically to yourself. To top all this off, the e-mail they sent to confirm that my purchase was on the way was hilarious and made me very happy. The whole process was really commendable. I’m most definitely looking forward to doing business with CD Baby again, and I heartily suggest that you give them your business too if you’re ever looking to the internet to make your music purchases.
