Stuff on My Cat

This is too cool! I got several posts from people who saw a picture of my CD, Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers on Stuff On My Cat. That's a beautiful thing.

I'd love to see more pics of people with my solo CDs, T-Shirts, Celtic Cat Wooden Mug, whatever. If you have any fun pictures of those, post them on Flickr or on Myspace. Or what about doing a special video with my CDs that you post on YouTube?

Once you've done something, post a comment here where your picture or video is at and I'll send you a free live CD of mine.

Reviewers Wanted for "Irish Drinking Songs: The Cat Lover's Companion"

I'm doing this a lot right now! But I have good reason--St. Patrick's Day. That most holy of Irish holidays is soon upon us. I want reviews on iTunes for my Irish Drinking Songs: The Cat Lover's Companion CD. I will give you a free copy of the CD if you are willing to review the album for me.

Sorry. The Free CDs Are All Gone.
Please Buy Your Irish Drinking Songs CD here.

Want other Free CDs?

All you have to do is Follow the Instructions below:
1. You MUST use iTUNES. While I would like to see your reviews on cross-posted on CD Baby, I'm doing this promotion specifically for iTunes. So if you want to Win a CD, you'll need to download and install iTunes so you can review the CD if you don't already use it.

3. I'll then email you and tell you the link to download the album of MP3s in a ZIP file.

4. Click the song titles above and listen to the album online.

5. Write a review. It doesn't have to be long. Even a nice paragraph of how the album made you feel is all I need.

6. If you want, you can also cross-post your CD review in your blog with a link to
http://cdbaby.com/cd/mgtdtc3/from/celtic/

7. Post a review on iTunes.

8. Once that is done, I'll send you a copy of the album.
That's all that is required to win. However, if you enjoy the album, you can do more to help promote the CD, like:
  • Tell your friends to read about the CD review
  • Tell others once the album is released on CDBaby.
  • Cross-post your review on Livejournal, iTunes, Myspace, Facebook, Message Boards, and include a link to the CD.
