Good thoughts and worth every dime!:

I recieved this CD when I bellied up to the bar so to speak and became a member of KPCC(public Radio)in California. I paid 120.00 for my member ship and recieved this cd as a thank you...It was worth every dime and I would do it every year if they had one! So at what ever this site is charging..it's a DEAL! But, Join public radio any way!

Take a moment...listen to a story or two...:

I you're familiar with the radio show This American Life, then you know the vibe of this CD. If you're not familiar, you're in for a treat. These stories give you the perfect excuse to turn off the TV, unplug the phone, and do something that we never really do anymore in this fast-paced world: listen to stories. Being a musician, I love the story about forming a band from the classified ads. Tragic and hilarious...been there! Get this CD, you'll really enjoy it.

Perfect for fans of This American Life!:

If you got the first This American Life CD or if you're a regular listener to the show, you'll love these CDs. The stories are quirky and engaging--sometimes funny, sometimes downright weird. My favorite was the one where the guy from The Mekons puts together a random band out of the classifieds, all to do a recording of Elton John's Rocket Man. Classic stuff!
