Plan-It-X Records sells cds for $5 including shipping. It's a super small label, but their bands get paid. Not much, but bands can sell their own cds for more than $5.
One of their reviews says "it comes in a jewel box with full color printing and a sticker. i guess i should explain why. 1st. we decided to start offering our bands what ever kind of packaging they want. 2nd, we wanted to put out a CD that looks just as good as all the other labels CDs and comes with a sticker and still sell it for 5$. just to prove it can be done, lots of people think we sell our CDs cheap because of the packaging but it's not true. this CD cost 1.60 to make. so eat that mutant pop. "
I'm not sure how many plays we've had. It currently shows 4,500 and we probably will never see a dime from them. They used to have an earnings page but the amount of songs played and the amount of money they owe us would change.
I used to send them the same email every month for a year asking about it. They'd respond "you'll get an answer in 6 to 10 business days". They changed that in a wise decision that you had to pay them to get them to answer your question. I'm not going to pay mp3 money to ask them how much money they owe us. I just want to know why it's changed.
I'm a big fan of Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass. Try looking up Whipped Cream and other Delights on amazon. They sell it for $60, but I think I might know of a thrift store by you that would have 18 copies for a.25 cents.

I guess I am torn on this issue.
On one hand, if black box data is used against you, you could claim discrimination since not all cars have the boxes and therefore you are being punished to a greater extent as a direct result of the car you chose to purchase.
On the other hand, I think it would be a good idea (Big Brother paranoia aside) for the industry to create a standard for what kind of dasta is collected and mandate the use of these devices on all new cars. Unbiased witnesses in courtrooms is badly needed these days due to blatant disregard for truth and justice.
Now how do you stop Big Brother from tapping this info? You KNOW they're gonna wanna give this thing an IP address that maps to your Social Security Number and is able to broadcast on wireless networks...

I remember seeing a guy driving around in a giant SUV with 4 monitors showing pr0n once. If there was anyone in the backseat they were uh... busy and out of site, but he had a monitor he could see.
Sorry I ran over that car and killed those guys officer. I was watching The Sperminator.

You're right. We should institute Death Race 2000 with more points if you off someone older than 55. If we start offin' the old folks, we won't have to raise taxes on us kids.
As the cars roar into Pennsylvania, the cradle of liberty, it seems apparent that our citizens are staying off the streets, which may make scoring particularly difficult, even with this year's rule changes. To recap those revisions: women are still worth 10 points more than men in all age brackets, but teenagers now rack up 40 points, and toddlers under 12 now rate a big 70 points. The big score: anyone, any sex, over 75 years old has been upped to 100 points.
I remember reading about AOL guys selling their stock and retiring in their 30s back around 1999 or 2000. The article was "why are they doing this? they must be nutty!"

" Oddly enough, the people that don't benefit tax cuts -- the oft-quoted $10,000-$25,000 bracket -- don't even pay taxes now. Imagine that!"
Uh, yeah, I pay taxes. You sir, are misinformed.
Across the board cuts? Wasn't it for married or small business owners? I'm not married, and don't own a business. And I make less than $25,000 a year and I pay taxes. But I'm not sure how the tax break works. It's hard to find out who it benefits. I mean, you just said I don't pay taxes. Who told you that? Fox News? I hear "taxes" and "government trying to help" and I assume that somehow I'm being screwed. Oddly enough, that assumption has always worked for me.

I've got 2 or 3 copies of that record too. Part of my huge Hogan's Heroes collection.
We're just a punk rock band, so if that's not your thing, don't get too excited. Although I think some of our lyrics are pretty funny though.
They changed it so you can only give away 3 songs now. I don't check our mp3 site much so it took me a bit to notice.
If you pay mp3 $5/month or $15/month, they will give away up to 100 of your songs, will pay you royalties, and will answer your questions.

Wow, this coffee is really hot. I better set it in my crotch to cool down.
So you're scared of hot coffee, eh?
I read the article. I think putting a hot cup of coffee in your lap ain't the best idea.
If you place a hot cup of coffee between your legs and open the lid, there's no reason at all why McDonald's should be held liable for your stupidity.
I eagerly await the day when all food will be served lukewarm.
