darn floor!

Just got it on the ZUNE marketplace! I wasn't expecting it to be available there!!! It's getting major billing on the christian/gospel main page!!! This is a beautiful day. Now if we can just start working on Motorcycle, Kalhoun and Bibleland...!

I was at Borders yesterday, and, just because I was wondering, I asked if they had DFBB and, if not, if they planned to carry it. The answer to both was "no" but I could special order it. Later, at Best Buy, I asked the same question, and was told they don't have it, but it is the corporate office that decides what music they carry, so he didn't know if they would eventually carry it. ...But I could special order. I haven't been anywhere else. It'll be interesting to see who carries the album and how many copies get sold. I'd be a bit surprised to find it at the local CBS.

I bought mine through my buddy's independent record store. I'm thrilled that someone can actually buy a DA album at regular old secular store. Never thought that would happen again.

By the way, If the third thread on the board right now were titled "Bite", the first three threads would spell out the name of the album. Big Grin

I read this and just out of curiouity, checked the Best Buy website. Its listed there as a special order for $14.99!?!? It is on Amazon too, as I've marked it there for my personal recommedations. I'm sure the difference of listing an item on the website and carrying it in the store is based on what they think they sell best to the average 'window shopper'. So then it begs the question, how does an artist like Terry get even a few copies to show up in a store for someone to discover and buy?

Yeah, both Daniel Amos and the 77's have cafepress webstores for T-shirts and some other items featuring album covers and some novelties. OK, there's Swirling Eddies, solo Terry, and I even found T-shirts of the first two Lost Dogs album covers too. My personal favorites are the 'Hide the Beer' mugs and steins in the Swirling Eddies store! Big Grin

i bought one of those like 5 years ago... it's already fading... Frown

Posted by audiori on 11-26-2008 at13:00:

They've improved their printing process a lot over the years.. not sure how it holds up now. Nothing I've purchased is faded anyway. We even have the dark color shirts now which is nice.

Posted by audiori on 11-26-2008 at13:28:

I'm waiting for someone to order one of these... Big Grin

Posted by joey on 11-26-2008 at13:45:

Cool

i've seriously considered ordering the "hide the beer" stein.......... Pleased

Posted by jiminy on 11-26-2008 at13:51:

I have been impressed wth cafepress

hey= an unintended pun

I have two well worn shirts (S/A and ABFTA)

they are holding up well IMHO

and I either fell off or got on the wagon..
and ordered DFFB (21) in bookends!

Posted by sondance on 11-26-2008 at14:11:

some things are missing:

the stein, the mug... the espresso cup, tea cup?
or should it be
the keg, the stein, the mug ?

where's the berry vest?
why would i want a t-shirt with picture of guy wearing a vest?

did anyone confirm who it is wearing the vest? it's keeping my awake and it's nap time.

Posted by audiori on 11-26-2008 at14:13:

Oh, if they had a vest option there would be a Berry Vest trust me. Happy

I had even thought of doing a tshirt that looked like it was wearing a Berry Vest... but, the graphic area is too small for it to be very effective.

When Arena Rock did the larry norman disc I asked our best buy and they said they won't carry it in store and just make it a special order item if each store only gets like one copy. So it could be, that, if Arena Rock makes their money back and can print more copies and distribute them they could show up in store I would assume.
