omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

not sure if this is discussed here, but, eh.

I meant to post this days ago, but: We just got our first referral check from Powell's Books! So please do continue using the link on the links page -- it actually works.
Is Powell's better (for us) than Amazon? or about the same?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We got $27 from Powell's after years of having the link on there (we get probably $100/year from Amazon), but my assumption is that it's due to volume. I don't have the details to hand of what we get for what, but I know some people are anti-Amazon, so just wanted to remind them of the Powell's option.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

we get probably $100/year from Amazon

I had no idea! Go referral links!

Yeah, maybe I should promote those some more. I really appreciate everyone who uses the referral links!

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm getting the itch to go CD shopping, which I haven't done since Tower closed. Any preferred link?

Amazon is all we've got for music, I guess...

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

we should see if second spin has an affiliate program.

Thanks, Jesse! I'll check it out this weekend.

What little buying I've done over the last couple years has been from a UK vendor (because my tastes run heavily to British pop), and I get hit hard on shipping and handling fees. (And I don't buy digital because of a fear of losing a lot of music in a computer or iPod crash.)

So, more affordable new music plus supporting the board? Made of win all over.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Yeah, maybe I should promote those some more.

Where can I find the Amazon referral link? Been looking...
