CD Baby pays $10 million to musicians for CDs sold

Independent online music retailer CD Baby has now paid over $10
million directly to musicians for CDs sold worldwide through their
online store at cdbaby.com.

CD Baby's easy consignment system has given every musician access to
worldwide sales and distribution, without having to sign away their
music to a record label.

While record labels are blaming piracy for a lack of sales, music
sold through CD Baby has almost doubled every year for the past six
years.

"It's easier than ever for music fans to find great non-mainstream
music," says CD Baby founder Derek Sivers. "So what's reported as a
sales decline for a huge pop star is actually a sales boost for the
less-famous but more-talented musicians of the world. We sell
thousands of CDs a day by artists you've never heard, but will love
when you do."

Now, as one of the primary suppliers of music to digital download
services such as Apple iTunes, MSN Music, Napster, Rhapsody, Sony
Connect, MusicMatch, and more, CD Baby is helping artists everywhere
get their music out into even wider distribution.

CD Baby has been a launching pad for later-famous acts such as
O.A.R., Jack Johnson and Gary Jules. Other already-famous artists
such as Thomas Dolby, George Clinton, Grant-Lee Phillips, and Beach
Boy Al Jardine have chosen to use CD Baby's unique distribution
service to release smaller projects directly to their fans.

CD Baby now represents over 75,000 artists and labels, making them
the largest seller of independent music on the web.

For more information, interview requests, etc., please contact Alex
Steininger at CD Baby alex@cdbaby.com or 503-595-3000.

About CD Baby:
CD Baby handles online sales and distribution for independent artists
and labels. Founder and musician Derek Sivers was selling his own CD
online in 1998, and as a hobby offered to let a few friends use his
system. Friends told friends and now over 75,000 artists sell their
music through CD Baby, making it the largest seller of independent
music on the web. CD Baby has sold over one million CDs sold to
customers worldwide, and paid over $10 million directly to the
musicians. CD Baby's Digital Distribution program has deals with all
major digital outlets such as Apple iTunes, MSN Music, Rhapsody,
Napster, and Sony Connect, making CD Baby one of the leaders in the
aggregation of digital content. For more information visit

sometimes I think I've died, or am invisible

I came in late today and every person in my office was gone. However the boss' door is shut, so they could all be in there. Or maybe Jesus came back and got all of the faithful. How would I know? I mean it's not like there's anyone with whom I could discuss around our nonexistent water cooler.

ROBERT SCHEER LA Times - The
9/11 Secret in the CIA's Back Pocket

The agency is withholding a damning report that points at senior officials.
"...the report is potentially very embarrassing for the administration, because it makes it look like they weren't interested in terrorism before 9/11, or in holding people in the government responsible afterward."
"The agency directorate is basically sitting on the report until after the election," the official continued. "No previous director of CIA has ever tried to stop the inspector general from releasing a report to the Congress, in this case a report requested by Congress."

CNN.com - Army probes if GIs refused dangerous Iraqi mission - Oct 15, 2004: "WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Army is investigating reports that several members of a reservist supply unit in Iraq refused to go on a convoy mission, the military said Friday. Relatives of the soldiers said the troops considered the mission too dangerous."

Damn. WTF kind of military is Runsfeld running over yonder? First Pfc Lyndie England is running the prisons, now being in harm's way is OPTIONAL? I don't blame you guys. You are right it, probably was a dangerous mission... When do the helicopters get everyone off of the embasy roof?

now why would this make people upset?

from Tiny Revolution..I'll have the My Lai and tonic...

you've complained to the captain. He knows you think they committed murder. Your troops know their fellow soldiers committed murder. Shut up. Just shut up. Get through your tour and just shut up. You're going to get a bullet in the back. You don't need that.

Saudis Blame U.S. and Its Role in Iraq for Rise of Terror Now the Saudis are talking junk about the US. Well it's not like most of the 9/11 terrorists were Saudis?..oh snap. OK, we should own up to the fact that they are feeling some terror solely because the USA invaded Iraq. When the terrorists tell you, "I am terrorizing you because you 'support' the USA's preemptive attack on an Islamic country..." it doesn't take Columbo to sort it out. But then if some of the Saudis had not backed bin Laden's plot, maybe Bush wouldn't have been able to lie his way into Iraq thus causing the aforementioned terror?

Terrorists under 3.5' tall shocked, awed, killed...

I just watched a dead kid about the age of mine get dug out of the rubble in Falluja (on CNN).

"a precision strike on yet another confirmed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi terrorist site" and insisted only terrorists, not civilians, would have been killed.

4 year old terrorists? Bush is a war criminal. I hope the next time he goes in for surgery he gets the kind of efficacy his "surgical strikes" make.

Bush got pWn3d last night.

This is no time to get cocky, though. Here are some things as I remember them in true Eric2 disorder:

BUSH: "I've learned to keep my daughters on a tight leash."

My how progressive of you George

KERRY: "Iraq was not even close to the centre of the war on terror before the president invaded it."

BUSH: "I found that, in this world, that it's important to establish good personal relationships with people so that when you have disagreements, you're able to disagree in a way that is effective."

until what, you shoot a smart bomb up their arse?

KERRY: "When I talked about the $87 billion (supplemental to fund the Iraqi operation), I made a mistake in how I talk about the war, but the president made a mistake in invading Iraq. Which is worse?"

Will someone please think of the poor Polish commandos?
You know if any of those 200 guys were still there they were like, "oh NO! Tell me that assclown didn't just namecheck us?!"

GbV Farewell Tour

This was the best rock and roll show I have been to in a while. They played for about 3 hours. By Eric1's estimate it was 50-60 songs. They wore the audience out. Rob't Pollard said he'd lost a friend to a smoking related death that day and that he'd quit cigarettes (but not pot or tequilla).
