SUICIDE

"Secret Romeo" is a great lead in track to the entire CD.

Some lions cannibalise their children.

Yes. Very strange. But I guess CD Baby wants to be looked at as a good faith complying online company in regards to Tennessee Law, they probably comply with other states also voluntarily. It doesn't surprise me that monster online sales companies such as Amazon and others wouldn't comply since they have a bigger foothold on business and tend to think they can do what they want. In the end, it is always the smaller companies who get busted 98% of the time while the bigger ones just pay their out of court settlements quickly and go on doing business.

Yes. It is not required of an out-of-state company to collect these taxes for your state unless they have a physical presence in Tennessee or other state that requires sales tax be paid, such as having a warehouse or division in Tennessee. But, by voluntarily collecting the state sales tax for you when you buy from them, it covers both of your asses. In CD Baby's case, it acts as a buffer incase someone, like you or another, gets busted for evasion and then tries to place blame on CD Baby for not notifying you of this evil tax requirement.

The Flesh CD looks real but with it being surrounded by their other listings displaying off colour CD-R looking top surface discs with what looks to be black thermal printing or lightscribe printing, I would stay away. The surfaces of those CDs with just the black text look rather odd. Looks to be the same ebay bootleg scheme of surrounding bootlegs with a few legit releases to throw off thick buyers.

Strike Twice - D.F.W.M.

No. CD Baby is not trying to screw you. It is a good idea to question additional fees sometimes as you have but this fee is legit and not illegal. CD Baby is complying with your states online seller sales tax law that has become the standard for many online sellers these days to avoid putting you at risk of evasion of your tax laws when you purchase items from them. When you buy from an online selller that has no state sales tax (such as Oregon) but your state requires one, it becomes your obligation to pay your state sales tax for the item on your own. Of course many probably do not do this but with the tracking of online activity by your country's government officials and other agencies very common these days, things like this can come and bite you later if they accumulate. (ie. a bigger company buying product from another state that doesn't have sales tax). From your states tax law info: "Many Tennessee businesses and consumers are unaware that use tax is owed on items they have imported into this state without paying sales tax to the seller. The use tax has been in effect since 1947 and is the counterpart to the sales tax. When someone buys merchandise online or through a catalog and the seller of the merchandise does not collect sales tax, the consumer who bought the item has a legal obligation to file and pay use tax on the merchandise. The use tax is levied at the same rate as the sales tax. Some businesses located in other states voluntarily register to collect Tennessee sales or use tax to eliminate the customers obligation to file a consumer use tax return."

Yes. That is why database sites like Gracenote and others shouldn't allow just anyone to input bands and info without approval. This is what happens when a someone looks up a band and finds bad info like this, adds it to their sites and then the world thinks New York's Spread Eagle has a long lost album. Like the band Uttaro being claimed as a long lost Spread Eage CD when it was a completely different band, although Ray West did do vocals on that one.

That is the Canadian band with the same name as the New York band.

Good to see someone listened to the lyrics. That is a very good song.

Yes. Strike Twice artwork is finished as is Felony which under went a total redo and album title change. Sgt. Roxx now in art direction.

I placed the edited version of your Shake City bio in the booklet. The bold line actually sounds good to me. It is more Rock 'N' Roll than...Kung Fu Panda. Strike Twice artwork is finished, more news on that later.

Charlemagne - Self-Titled (2009)

Live Storm Records is a prolific bootleg company from Italy. This next portion of my reply is for no one in particular as it is just a personal opinion: I find it very ironic how many tend to chastise bootleg companies on many threads, yet champion bootleg companies when it is not possible to get the music any other way. You can't say you are strongly against bootlegging one minute then go forward and buy bootlegs at your convenience the next. Very hypocritical in my opinion. What is the saying. "Practice What You Preach."

That is going to be another cool release.

Oh Yes. Like posting that isn't SPAM in itself.

Yeah, the connection of Pistol Dawn and Lillian Axe is a good one since Rob Stratton played bass in the band and Jon Ster sang background vocals on a few tracks. Bad Attitude's Myspace Page

That is a good song. "Undress Me' by Strike Twice is on the Eonian myspace page now if the MySpace player isn't being a pile of rubbish as usual.

That ebay $3 postage for a CD to be posted worldwide is ridiculous. eBay corporates are totally out of touch with world postage rates or their corporate offices are located on the moon where parcels weigh nothing.

'One Night In Your Arms' was by Bad Inflluence, not Bad Attitude.

Some good songs on the album but after some time Randy's voice starts having the same effect of fingernails on a blackboard.

That banned burning World Trade Center cover sells for much more £$€ than the 2nd pressing usually. Well mine sold for a ridiculous amount anyway.

99.5% of my terrible experiences with ebay buyers have been from Americans thinking they are privileged with the right of Low or Free Postage after the sell and the ones with hundreds of fake eBay accounts to screw people. Not many problems with other countries so far for me.

Excellent work on the Shake City history. Banners for Upcoming Official Releases on Eonian Records website and MySpace.

Very good band.
