Alien Invasion? And Moodring CD


Cool lenticular cloud captured over Wyoming..
These layered clouds are typically formed by high winds over rugged terrain, and particularly apparent when few other clouds are in the sky

On a totally unrelated note, I ordered the Third of Never Moodring CD
from CDBaby, and received the coolest order confirmation email EVER!


"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, Monday, June 25th.

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, thank you, thank you!

Sigh..."

I've seen faked pictures of UFOs that didn't look as real as your picture! As for CD company- you can always tell when a company is young and growing, they still have fresh ideas!

Thank you for coming by my blog so I could find my way back here!!

Hey up Dogga!
Giant alien sperm searching the skies for massive egg to penetrate thus saving the alien race from extinction....
Haha

Hi Buffalo,
Kind of makes one understand how people think they've seen a UFO!
I think you nailed it with CDBaby..I hope they do well. Very refreshing

Hi Gary,
Yay! You found me..
I've been kind of slow getting around to everyone's blogs to let them know where I moved to
Like your new avatar photo!

Hi Snow,
It was so unexpected to read such an email! Gave me a much needed smile and belly laugh

Hi Boo,
Yay for freaky weirdos!
:-)

Hi Lori,
So good to see you, girl!
Nature is astounding..

does CDbaby have comparable prices with other retail outlets? I've never heard of that company.

Phil said...

It almost looks like something that would have 'come' from a testicular cloud. It's rather swimmy shaped. Pardon my rudeness but I'm still high on the wine comment from the other night.

I see DoGGa and I think alike.
No wonder I like him (not like THAT), it must be a Phil thing

CD Baby? Oh man, is that weird or what? LOL! I have a picture of tiny cds running through my head right now!

CD Baby, along with our label JAM, are the best dahling.

That's easily the best confirmation email I've ever seen, and it would be nice if others stepped up their game to match it.

But I doubt it.

You're posting about as frequently as me nowadays :]

CD Baby sounds like they either know how to treat their customers or freak them out.

That picture is breath taking.
