So apparently if I order a Cedar Walton CD from Overstock.com they are willing to sell me a replacement plan warranty on it. I assumed it was an error (and I am not seriously thinking of buying it there), but it just struck me as funny and then I realized it's true of CDs in general there.
"The Platinum Protection Plan guards against:
Dust
Internal Heat
Internal humidity/condensation
Normal Wear
Scratches due to normal use"
I am not sure what "internal heat" is for a CD. But seriously, how many people want to pay extra on a CD in case it stops working within a year (for a policy that only covers "normal use")? Seems like cash harvesting.
The replacement plan is available for all products, priced under $200,
except jewelry/watches, laptops, desktops, and golf clubs. You will
receive 2 or 4 years of coverage beginning at the date you purchase the
product. If your product fails, at our discretion, we will reimburse you
for the replacement of the product with an in-store credit, or as a
credit back to the credit card we have on file for the original product
purchase price including taxes, as indicated on your receipt.
They should be more clear on that at time-of-purchase, since CDs go out of print (often without warning) and can even increase in value from the time you buy them, though that's obviously unusual.
Quite, Craig! Like GP, thankfully we did not have a first dance, but it seems to be compulsory at all the weddings we go to of the next generation, some spending a fair time on the choreography. Then of course it goes on youtube....
Yeah. I don't really know what to say at this point, honestly. Maybe it's me. Either way, I just don't know how many more of these I can honestly subject myself to. I was told that Peter Peter was a pretty great interviewer, voice of her generation, very focused, and, most importantly, very in touch with Millennials (a demographic I've been told I need to break into). Regardless, this interview was, yet again, a pure disaster. I just don't get it anymore. Anyway, here's the footage. Ugh. Double ugh. Anyway, if you want to help me with my next solo record, here's a link to my Pledge campaign. I just hope I don't have to do too many more of these terrible interviews.
From an artist whose show I must have gone to somewhere along the line, because my name is on his email list. I don't actually recommend watching the interview...I could only handle the first 30 seconds or so. I imagine this is about the stage where indie artists start thinking a career in real estate doesn't seem so bad after all.
When I was in Holland a couple of weeks ago meeting our friends every time some talked about something stupid the response was Brexit, I wonder if England lose to Scotland in the football tomorrow night will the response be the same?

So just exactly how does one accidentally run two trains from the same company into one another out in the middle of nowhere
Perhaps having practice helps?

- Maybe I should get a fridge for my CD collection, just to be safe.

We didn't have a first dance.
Been married 15 years today, though!

My 1st dance was this lovely Irish waltz:
Isn't that pretty? The marriage, however, didn't last. No 1st dance at 2nd wedding, which was a considerably toned-down affair
Congrats, Craig!

Time to pick my fantasy EPL team for the year. Decided to make myself a logo. I'm a graphic design genius.

Email from Pandora this morning. Now that's what I call market segmentation.

Well, now I'm definitely not contributing to his Kickstarter. Kind of relieved there is really no person as oblivious as "Peter Peter" though
Which, I guess makes even more sense if it's satire.
