Rima’s family are – or were – Shiite muslim, though “her family celebrates elements of both the Muslim and Christian faiths.”

As I Lay Dying - Denver 14 May 10

At the AILD concert tonight. It’s an amazing show that’s shaking the house. Check out their new Powerless Rise release. Freaking awesome.

These guys are too cool.  I bought Half Moon Jug Band‘s Space Man in a Jug Band (mostly for this track).  Here’s the confirmation email I received:

Thanks for your order with CD Baby!

(1) The Half Moon Jug Band: Space Man in a Jug Band

Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.  A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure it was in the best possible condition before mailing.  Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money can buy.

We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of Portland waved “Bon Voyage!” to your package, on its way to you, in our private CD Baby jet on this day, May 11, 2010.  We hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby.  In commemoration, we have placed your picture on our wall as “Customer of the Year.”  We’re all exhausted but can’t wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Sigh…
We miss you already.

Great customer service gets me every time.  Can’t wait for that private CD Baby jet to get here!
