CD, Baby!

This is really what CDBaby.com wrote on my receipt:

Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with
sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.

A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure
it was in the best possible condition before mailing.

Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over
the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money
can buy.

We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party
marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of
Portland waved ‘Bon Voyage!’ to your package, on its way to you, in
our private CD Baby jet on this day, Wednesday, June 28th.

I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby. We sure did.
Your picture is on our wall as ‘Customer of the Year’. We’re all
exhausted but can’t wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!

Bonanza

Today saw a bonanza of deliveries, with a bundle of US magazines from my mail forwarder, books and CDs from Amazon, and the aforementioned Fatboy Slim CD/DVD from CD Japan. Other CDs include Zero 7’s new release The Garden, Tina Dico’s In The Red, and Meshell Ndegeocello’s Plantation Lullabies. Books include The Tipping Point, Parable of the Talents, Against The Odds, and Learned Optimism.

Why Try Harder?

Fatboy Slim last week released a greatest hits album “Why Try Harder?” If you just want the audio CD version, the UK or US versions are pretty much the same. However, there’s also a limited edition version out which is packaged with a DVD of Fatboy Slim videos as well. This version is available in a European and Japanese version. For those of you in the US, I’d recommend getting the Japanese version. It’s already in NTSC format as opposed to PAL for the European version. The US also uses NTSC, so you wouldn’t need to worry about if your player can convert the video. It also includes one extra audio track and one extra video not on the European release. Amazon.com lists a DVD only package that will be released in the US, but no firm release date yet.

FATBOY SLIM: The Greatest Hits – Why Try Harder [w/ DVD, Limited Edition] (Japanese version from CD Japan.)
