Coming Tuesday March 2nd - Anomalous Disturbances http://www.anomalousdisturbances.com . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . A special *ping things* announcement from rik maclean... I am thrilled to announce that http://www.pingthings.com is one year old! Well, actually it's almost two, but in terms of online presence it's one year old! And this strikes me as being a big deal. I'd like to thank all of you for your support in this venture, whether you're a customer who's bought something in the last year (both online or at C'est What), if you're an artist who's been kind enough to share your music with the store, or if you're just somebody who's come by the site to see what it's all about. All of you are very much appreciated by the ping things king. =-) Also I'd especially like to thank Scott M2 and Jamie Todd who have done such a fabulous job of running the Ambient Ping in the first place, and who have been a wonderful support and inspiration for the store for all of this time. You guys rock in a most Eno-esque way! Sooooooo, what does this whole birthday thing mean to you? Well it means that there's a sale!!!! Yep, I have a huge sale of items that you can check out at http://www.pingthings.com/PTsale.htm A bunch of titles by such wonderful artists as James Johnson, Mercurine, Glenn Love and Vidna Obmana are all reduced in an effort to let you know how much I appreciate your patronage. (Quanitites are limited, so you'll wanna act fast on the sale items!) You'll also find that selected titles have also been reduced in price throughout the site. A number of Steve Roach discs have been reduced from $27.50CAN to $20CAN. And if this isn't enough to entice you over to visit the site, there are also a metric tonne of new discs by Angelmark, Diatonis, Sahra Featherstone, Knowledge of Bugs and more! Now on a serious tip I should also point out that there's a slight change to the pricing structure at ping things. Previously prices were a flat fee that included taxes and shipping. As the site has grown more popular though, and as more and more people are ordering online from farther places, it's become clear that I have to follow a different strategy. As such from this point on, taxes and shipping will be added on as a percentage of your total order. Now I'm still working out a few calculations & things, but I'm trying to make it all cool and groovy for all of you, and of course I'm reworking all of the prices on the site to reflect this change. So there you have it! ping things is a year old and it's all thanks to people like you! So check out the site and buy a disc to thank yourself for being so cool and supportive!
