I may order. No "maybe" option?

IMO, Erik's music in DROD:AE and DROD:JtRH is almost inferior to the music in Webfoot [Lars Christian Aasbren (sp?)]. I'd much rather buy that...its too bad it'll never happen. I already have webfoot's music on a CD (patience + Windows Sound Recorder...), but the original would be much higher quality.

Erik's stuff was still quite good though; i'll probably buy it.

About a week. I just shipped them out. International (non-US) orders were sent with airmail. US orders were sent plain-old first class.

I got my copy of Deadly Music of Death last week, and tore it out of the package very quickly. (My nephew later started chewing on the package, but he's got this baby fascination with paper, it seems.) I popped it in the DVD player in my room (Aside from my computer, I have no actual CD player), and let it's ambience lull me to sleep after an overnight shift at work.

Since I got the CD, I've been taking my aunt's car everywhere I go just so I can listen to it while driving. A lot of this music is suitable for driving around really late at night. And for those songs featured in the "Songs of the Eighth" contest... I was even singing along, even to The Whistler. :)

Just wanna say I'm very happy with my purchase and would gladly buy Volume II if and when it comes. :thumbsup

Yeah, I listen to it a lot as well...about 3 times everyday.

Quick question: as long as we keep it to our ourselves, are we allowed to rip it/convert it to ogg/put it on a portable mp3 player?

Hmmm...I think I may need to start buying some copies to friends and others to give as gifts now...I'd really like to see another volume out.

We need 25, right? I can give one to my dad, my mom, my two sisters, some of my friends, and possibly to Erik if I get desperate. :)

This is not a telethon! I'm not gonna guilt people into buying, but if you really want the CD or think someone else may like it for a gift, then sure, go grab one. No charity purchases! :)

And thanks T., for #7. I hope you enjoy it.

My debit card has apparently "not been activated" since I have apparently "never used it" and I am apparently "several hundred miles away from my bank". However, as soon as I find a way around these hurdles, this baby is mine!

Probably September. I will order one in September.

I mentioned earlier I bought a DMOD CD and I'm glad to have it. One thing that surprises me is that, of all the people who voted they would "definitely buy" such a CD on this poll a while back, just over a third of us have actually bought one. I don't have much marketing experience, but it appears people who answer "definitely" on polls actually mean "maybe" in the large majority of cases when it comes to a purchase. However, I guess many people could also be waiting till a later date to buy one, like getting it as a birthday present or something. This is an interesting bit of statistical knowledge for me. (This isn't a prod from me either to get people to buy them -- Erik is the only one who gets any money for music.)

That is exactly what I was thinking. So if we get a certain number, like 30% of people that say they will buy something actually will, then we can take number that into account if we do other rallying polls like that.

If you look at the poll options though, you'll find that there isn't really an option for "maybe"; the only choices are a concrete "yes", "no" or "not applicable". Probably what's happened is that the "maybe" people have voted for the option that they're biased towards. I, for example, might buy a copy in future, but not right now. Since, however, I could only choose "yes" or "no", I therefore voted "yes".

No, it was a shipping mistake (AKA, an "Erik mistake"), not a billing mistake. I lost a hard drive which also included records of who I shipped to, so looking over the orders for DMOD, I saw yours on the 12th which was in the grey area between "definitely shipped" and "definitely not shipped". I just shipped you a copy to be certain, and so it turns out you get two. Give one to a friend, if you like.

Quick question:

How long will the CD take to ship? I have obtained a Credit Card and wish to break it in with a worthwhile purchase, but I am under 2 weeks away from a change in my address. I'd like to have the music for the long drive back to college, but I fear it may be too late. So if I ordered the CD right now, should I order with my current address or my soon-to-be current address?

With this answered, I shall with great pleasure type a post that reads "11!" or hopefully maybe even "12!"

It should arrive in under 2 weeks. Especially if you live in the United States, and even faster if you live near Washington [state].

Yeah, Abb, you're in the States, so after you order it, I might take 2 or 3 days to mail it. And then it might take 2 or 3 days to arrive. About a week altogether.

11!

I guess!

Actually, just after I placed the order, I realized: I am leaving Tuesday (Sept. 6) morning. Since Monday is labor day, there is no mail Monday. There's never mail on Sunday. Which means that I only have a week of mail service before departure.

This will be an exciting race, the USPS vs. time itself. I can hardly wait to see who wins, but waiting is exactly what I'll do.

Thanks, buddy. I will put it in a mailbox Monday and USPS will probably grab it Tuesday, as you say. I'll send it priority mail.

I didn't know Erik had an army of gladiators. You learn something new every day.

Combined with his basement, this could get dangerous. I'm glad I'm on his side.
