CD BABY RULES!! [A Shameless Plug]
Some of you may or not know, I am an avid buyer of merchandise via the interweb. Futureshop.ca, eBay.com, TicketMaster.ca, HMV.ca, StompingGround.com, PayPal.com, PinUpToons.com, Phish.com, DavidMatthewsBand.com, MacheteMfg.com, and InterPunk.com have all received moneys from moi most recently being, PureTracks.com [my problem was resolved, phew] . Even more recently, I finally found the song that was playing at my work some months back and could actually by the album from a quaint little site named, CD Baby. The company boasts itself as, "the little CD store with the best new independent music", which isn't that good of a seller, but anyway...After making my countless purchases off of other sites, i was used to the drab boring confirmation email i was always getting from the business like companies such as the former list. So, I made a purchase and this was the confirmation email I received. I thought it was funny at least.

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, Thursday, March 11th.
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!!
Thank you once again,
