Does anyone know anything about the JPFolks organization? As a CDBaby seller I had submitted my (our) CD "Experience of Space" info to them as suggested by CD Baby themselves and the song "Vesuvio" has been nominated as Best Ambient song for 2009. A full Scope production!
I have no idea if this is an important thing or not, but well, nominated songs have been selected between 560k, as they say! That's not bad, really....in the Ambient group there are 20 nominations...it tickles my ego quite a bit...
It's a great CD! I have one of my very own (from CDBaby) - any plans for another release?
Don't know JPF - but they *seem* important - from their web site:

I was still hot and heavy with my sweet potatoe then. The CD was played alot at the strip club her daddy left her and at those awesome pool parties.
Fond memories that summer.
CD Baby is better now than 3 years ago too.
They were terrible at paperwork and ended up sending me 2 CD's and charging me once.....
