Happy 10th Birthday to CD Baby

CD Baby has paid over $70 million dollars(!!) directly to musicians. And despite the moaning you hear from the major labels, independent artists are selling better than ever. Even physical CD sales are up 30% over last year!

Say No To IE6

If you’re still using IE 6, do yourself (and the web developers of the world) a favor and upgrade. Or if you run a site you can install their script which will urge IE6 users to do the right thing.

Get Calls From Fake Friends, Family

Have you ever been in a situation where you wished someone would call you so you could pretend that something important came up and you had to leave? Well, now you can do exactly that with the Popularity Dialer.

Just give it a phone number, date and time and the type of call you want, and you’re all set. The options range from the basic “popularity call” to “cousin in need” to the newly added “band practice” call, which is especially good for all you lazy musicians out there just looking for an excuse to get out of something.
