The Drive to 30,000

[progdirjim(Admin)]

OK, so I just added nine CDs to the playlist which brings the total number of songs on the Moon to a little over 27,100. I have also ordered a number of CDs from Amazon (more on that later) which should add a couple of hundred songs. About 2-3 weeks ago, I got obsessed with the idea of reaching 30,000 songs. Now, I have no idea, rationale, or sane reason why 30,000 is more significant than, say, 25,000, but humor me.

So, if you've been thinking about donating any CDs to the Moon, think about doing so now. Ditto if you know or are communicating with a worthy band, convince them to send us a promo CD. If you ARE a band or musician, contact me via PM and let's talk about adding your music (please make sure your efforts are suitably professional sounding, but by no means do you have to have a record deal).

Re: Amazon. You know those "buy" links whenever a song plays? Well, if you click on them and buy, Aural Moon gets a small portion of the sale price. I just found this out when Davin told me we had a few hundred dollars of credit with Amazon (hence the order I mentioned earlier!). So, IF you're planning on buying a CD that we have on the Moon, and IF Amazon's price is not unreasonable (they're USUALLY competitive, sometimes not on rare CDs or imports), please consider buying via an Aural Moon link. I can promise you that every penny that comes to Aural Moon through Amazon will go to buying more CDs for the Moon.

That's it, there's my latest confession of obsessive-compulsive behavior...
