A new promo, and my album for sale at CD Baby—please write a review

Now that Christmas is over and 2006 is almost upon us, I figured it was time to put together a new audio promo (871 KB, stereo 160 kbps MP3 file, 45 sec) for my Penmachine Podcast of free podsafe instrumental tunes to use and share. You can also hear it at the Podsafe Music Network.

What's a promo?

A promo is essentially a commercial for a podcast, which other podcasters play on their shows so that we all promote each other in a big warm fuzzy network of podcast love. Now you know.

Buy my album at CD Baby, or direct via PayPal

In addition, my CD album Penmachine Sessions is now available from the excellent online music sales site CD Baby:

DEREK K. MILLER: Penmachine Sessions Podsafe instrumental rock from Canada’s podcast.penmachine.com featuring chunky guitars, Hammond organ, and funky beats. Free to rip, mix, and share.

You'll notice that at CD Baby it's only $12.75 USD, rather than the $15 I charge (U.S. or Canadian, depending on where you are, or $19 USD outside those countries) for direct shipments. However, there are two differences:

1. CD Baby charges extra for shipping, so it could cost you less or more than $15, depending on where you have it shipped.
2. If you buy directly from me, you get both the audio CD and a bonus data DVD. At CD Baby, you just get the audio CD.

Please write a review for me

Nevertheless, CD Baby is cool place to buy from, and whether you get my CD there, from me directly, or just download the tracks for free, I'd appreciate if once you've had a chance to listen, you write a review at the CB Baby site. Thanks!
