Ask Me About Free Shipping...... |
|
MEGA
Yes that’s the word ……..mega.
I was at the dollar store the other day wasting a few minutes..and for some reason I glanced at the CD rack ( mainly to get a chuckle, the very unusual CD’s that end up these places)..when the word MEGA ..and Alternative Christian Music rather jumped out at me....
To cut to the chase- there was this box set- three CDs –
a) The Resurrection Band – the Light Years
(21 tunes.early stuff: autograph – amazing – white noise-I need your love- fer me there were 12 or more I hadn’t heard..and minimal Wendy… good ROCK from Glen and Co.)
b) LSU – Dogfish Jones
(Gene Eugenes Hammond B laced throughout is worth the price of admission, and Mikes dad Howard does two sea chanties..I liked it A LOT!- if you like Mike, and don’t have this- it’s a treat. From 97- I had’nt heard it before, full of great quirky rockin songs )

c) The Choir- Speckled Bird
(ask Carl- he gave me his copy- Kissers and Killers, Amazing…...good stuff)
The thick 3 CD jewel case is a bit sparse- no real artwork or anything, just titles …but the price was right…. A buck. – so I bought the other three they had too.
So- heres how the free shipping works:
Criteria 1 – you cant have more than one of these already on CD
Criteria 2- tell me in a few words why you think I should pay more to ship it to you than it cost me to buy.......And I will.
The first three good excuses- er, I mean answers..its yers.
After all – there’s a DA (TC on Speckled bird) and a LD (Gene on LSU) connection..and I look out fer my fellow dambers.
Lemmeno……………..

OK, I'm asking. How about some free shipping? I do have Speckled Bird but the other two are not in the Toque Boy library of fine music.
I had thought I might play up my lack of financial resources. I am currently a student getting by on student loans. My wife and I have twin daughters still under the age of two and another child showing up on the scene in less than a month. My wife will be on maternity leave for a year. BUT...
I did just spend a bunch of money on CDs and DVDs through eBay so that probably wouldn't be the best reason. On the other hand, I'm pretty sure that Julie won't let me buy any new music for a long time so you would be helping out a fella who is temporary (I hope
) cut off.
Tell you what. I like good music and what you have there is good music. I would love to have it and would enjoy listening to it very much. (I'd probably share the love by passing the Choir CD on to one of my brothers.) I hope that is a good enough reason to get the CDs shipped to Canada (Yikes!) but if others are found that are more suitable, I will accept that with grace and dignity. Oh, and I might scream and cry too.

of the three- that was a jaw dropper-
so accessibly weird-but I love it.
i feel like I really scored with that one..and must say it wasnt high on my list of "must haves"
but after hearing it- I was pretty amazed..in that LSU Mike Knott sort of way..
its VERY good 90s music.
anyone..?
anyone?

All this talk of Dogfish Jones reminds me of what Eddie P. said about working at the warehouse and watching them throw boxes of Dogfish Jones in the dumpster

Eddie worked at some place where they threw out the overstock CD's by the boxload. I guess they made more money writing it off as a loss. I'll see if I can find the story and show you

I guess I got in too late to play.
I do have Speckled Bird (in the Choir boxed set) but don't have the others. Glad TB and Joey got it though!

Well, if I sing then a fat lady hath sung! At least before this baby comes out.
Seriously, I wouldn't know what kind of tale to tell cept I've never heard either of the others and do enjoy Mike's music. MF would probably like to have them more than I would, but he's working so much lately that I don't know when he'll show his face round here.
