Listen to the Episode

As I mentioned earlier, I was interviewed by CD Baby’s Kevin Breuner for the CD Baby DIY Podcast. After a bit of tactful delay (read: time to promote the episode), it’s finally online and available for listening! It’s all about UStream and how indie musicians (like me) can spread the word via live video.

Update: If you like the podcast, btw, PLEASE go to iTunes and leave a comment!

GPE Album ArtFirst of all, Goodbye Planet Earth is now available for direct purchase via CD Baby. You can grab a copy either as a round piece of plastic or save some packaging and get it as an MP3 album for the same price. No DRM, no trash.

Now, thanks to [tag]CD Baby[/tag] and the [tag]American Red Cross[/tag], we can do something about it.

Until further notice, all profits from my [tag]CD[/tag]‘s sold at [tag]CDBaby.com[/tag] will go directly to the American [tag]Red Cross[/tag].

For more details visit CD Baby’s Website and read the article from Derek. To pick up one of my CD’s, just visit my CD Baby page.

(Note: This does not apply to pre-orders of “[tag]Beer & Coffee[/tag]” or to any [tag]iTunes[/tag] sales, just orders from CDBaby.com)

According to CDBaby.com, this fundraiser “will put your CD into a special section of cdbaby.com, linked from the front page, of other artists who have chosen to give their CD profits to the Red Cross.

“…You may think that a few sales won’t help, but with thousands of musicians banded together to do this, I think it will help a LOT of people get their lives back together after this disaster.”

According to Derek, the head honcho at CD Baby, they’re also giving their portion of CD sales to the Red Cross. Please consider helping out by buying a CD here.

If you’re interested, you can also check out any of the other CD Baby artists donating their sales here.
