CD Baby just sent me the following shipment confirmation email. It’s witty enough that I’m willing to give them (and my friend’s great CD!) a free plug here. Companies that write emails like this are in short supply.

Thanks for your order with CD Baby!

It’s puzzling how we do something totally different in the mid-90s with respect to webcasters, satellite radio providers and cable companies and then now we need to “harmonize” and achieve “platform parity” with the broadcast radio world not by moving to the broadcast radio standard that’s been in place for 80 years but instead by [...]
