Dan,

I am willing. So I've set up

http://www.cs.caltech.edu/~adam/local/fork-music.html

as a sister to

http://www.cs.caltech.edu/~adam/local/fork-books.html

and of course both are reachable from the FAQ

http://www.cs.caltech.edu/~adam/local/faq-fork.html

Our MusicBlvd merchant number is 19084, and if you look at

http://www.cs.caltech.edu/~adam/local/fork-music.html

you'll see how to make links so that FoRK gets credited...

No kidding. In 1998 alone I have bought 40 CDs so far. Scary.
Of them all, I like the Verve's "Urban Hymns"

http://www.musicblvd.com/cgi-bin/tw/19084_43_443340

and Madonna's "Ray of Light"

http://www.musicblvd.com/cgi-bin/tw/19084_43_469724

the best. Which is also scary.

Same here. And if you buy 3 discs at a time, shipping is free.

Sounds great. If you resend me the source, I'll stick it in the
fork-music page as well.

I also need to add links to all the techno bands Jim and Rohit have
recommended. Maybe set up a swing section, too, with those cool
recommendations from Mike. Guess I'll do those when I get the chance,
but if anyone else wants to do add anything I can certainly do that,
too.

Yes, especially since our Amazon total has now topped $110 in
commissions and counting... pretty soon it will be more than we can
drink in one sitting...
