Buy this damn record already. Abused kids thank you.

A bunch of Mefites made a record. It's for a good cause. It's ridicolously cheap, too.

What a bad name for a good cause. Who wants to support rape, abuse, and incest?

It's US$2.05 via PayPal and $3.99 via the iTunes Music Store. Does your group get the same proceeds either way, matteo?

Whoops, misread. If mellisa may or other participants are reading, I guess my question applies to them...

I don't know, I used PayPal because I don't use iTunes and I don't have an account. let's ask melissa?

I just sent an e-mail to the owner of SVC to find out. I found an article that states that the EU charges iTunes and labels on EU sales, but I don't know what the difference is. Usually I would say just buy from the record label, but I will let you know what we find out.

and thanks so much, matteo, for calling us out in metatalk (you probably won't read that very often).

I should also say that the label is out of the UK, which is why the article I linked to is relevant.

Yes. Please support Mefi musicians and their good causes.

And as soon as sleepy pete says where the best place to buy the RAINN CD I'm buying it!

OK, given the time difference between the west coast and the UK, Simon may not answer until tomorrow, so from what I've read I think everyone should just buy it from the SVC Records site.

And please do buy the MeFi comp. I'm tired of looking at the boxes in our basement.

Thank you kindly for this, dear matteo. I saw "metatalk callout" in an email and broke out in a cold sweat, so whew.

We want very much to raise a lot of money so even if we make your ears bleed please consider making a donation. And yes, please buy the comp because there are amazing musicians in it and fabulous art! Thank you!

Ok I want to buy the comp but I want it personally delivered...deal? (wink wink)

The paypal link isn't allowing me to log in and pay like most paypal sites. It's just asking for my credit card info. Any idea what's up with that?

Also, you can leave a review at emusic. Five stars, baby! ;)

dobbs, we just ordered a copy through Payloadz today direct from SVC with no problem, so perhaps try that? We'll check with the label about the paypal hoo-ha. Sorry for the problem!

Thanks for the reminder, sleepy pete. I meant to buy one when they came about but never got around to it. So you now have an order!
dobbs, for what it's worth the paypal link at SVC gave me a login option (though I didn't use it), so that problem is not universal...

worked for me, I logged in, paid, they sent me a link to direct download the zip file.

Blazecock Pileon — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 06:15:23 -0800

Worked okay for me, too.

dobbs — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 06:42:44 -0800

Okay, it worked for me now. I think the problem was that I recently cleared my cookies and there were none for Paypal. Howver, I just logged into paypal and then went to the SVC site in a diff tab and it worked this time.

Paid via PayPal but can't get past the "Please be patient while we search for your order. This process may take up to 30 seconds." screen to download. :(

By: terrapin

terrapin — Fri, 27 Apr 2007 07:22:47 -0800

I can't get past that screen. Emailed SVC to see what's up.

Very nice stuff, Harvey Girl peeps! I highly recommend the music.

Since I know everyone trusts my musical taste implicitly:

I bought it. It's very good. If you don't buy it, you are diseased.

Boy howdy, thanks guys. You all are wonderful. COBRA!, that's the best blurb ever. We'll be quoting you in the future.

And yodelingisfun darling, you have yourself a deal.
