Last Weekend´s Update from Brian

Links to the Competiton (part 2)

Please note there are a few new links added to the lower left. I want to state that I have not had the time to research any of these companies, and will post these only if you mention them on this blog, so I cannot endorse any of these options. I'm posting this stuff only to further everyone's common knowledge.

I want to request that you post those links and any comments you have about them on Links to the Competiton (part 2) so I can easily get to them. Also, I will post links to any sites of general interest to us under the heading Other Resources. Check below for links to AMG & Artists First.

Please read the critiques/comments regarding new links Zimbalam, RecordUnion & DittoMusic in the comments section of Customer Urges 'Time Out' below.

Thanks. . .

Monday Update from Brian

JUST KIDDING!  'Cos there wasn't one.

It's unbelievable that this company, in the midst of this crisis, would let more than 72 hours pass without comment from the head honchos.  So the tension builds up on the forum (the only part of the website that seems to work without glitches), rumors fly, and artists begin to attack each other.

When management is silent, speculation fills the information vacuum.

As some one pointed out, no doubt tongue in cheek, they have "three people" working round the clock to answer a "handful" of "axe grinders and whiners."

I've got to hand it to the frontline.  They are performing well!  But upstairs?  We hear nothing but recaps that there will be "no rollback."  Fine.  But what of the medium to long term outlook?

Are heads beginning to roll over there?  Is it a "palace coup"?  Or is it true that these guys take three day weekends in Aruba, even in a shit storm such as this.

 

PAYDAY! or is it?

Post a comment here:  did you get paid, or didn't you?

Customer Urges "Time Out"

While I don't agree in locking down these forums in any way, I do believe that many of the more aggressive posts here are indeed fake, potentially posted by the competition in an attempt to fan the flames and take advantage of this great opportunity for themselves. If CD Baby truly did mean that much to you, why do you want to see it destroyed? Why post threats? I'm ashamed by some of the attitudes on here. Are these really the artists I am supporting when I shop at CD Baby? Yes, this is a really, really bad situation, no doubt about that. But CD Baby has been there for us (both the artists and customers) for years and years. Why abandon them over a, comparatively speaking - short, rocky transition that was forced upon them? Wouldn't it be better to SAVE CD Baby? Instead of all this negativity, why not work together to help pull out of this mess? I want CD Baby to survive, because they have been good to us - really good to us. It doesn't help any of us to drag them down. Pony & the rest of the folks at CD Baby. Please hang in there. I'm pulling for you. And for the record, I have NO complaints for you, rather - you have my undying gratitude for all you are doing.
