Emperor Norton and music

So I got an email this morning to let me know that someone had linked to my Emperor Norton page.

It's a link heavy blurb introducing a Lounge/Americana band called the The Sons of Emperor Norton. So I peruse the links, check out the band, and click on their CD to get more info. This takes me to CDBaby... (uh oh)

Now I just got a CDBaby order in last week, so I thought I'd be should be safe.

No such luck.

I ended up ordering the following before I could stop:
The Sons of Emperor Norton: The Putrid Minds Anthology: Battle Hymns for the Blue States (I'm curious enough and I've bought stuff for worse reasons)
Various Artists: Pigs Fly (speaking of worse reasons... I want to hear Don Ho sing "Shock the Monkey")
The Presidents of the United States of America: Ten Year Super Bonus Anniversary Edition (ooh look, bonus tracks!)
Full Frontal Folk: Storming the Castle (been on the wish list for a while, just noticed they cover a Nields song)
The Kimberly Trip: Mimicking the Cool Kids (this make four CDBaby orders in a row that have included a Kimberly Trip CD)

My previous order (and currently in the CD changer in the car):
The Kimberly Trip: You'll Get Nothing...and LIKE it! (See! Great album)
Circus Contraption: Grand American Traveling Dime Museum (better then their second album, several tunes are already getting stuck in my head)
The Presidents of the United States of America: Love Everybody (They back and very much the same - which works for me)
Molly Zenobia: Skin (The only miss this order. Good voice, good music, but very hard to follow/hear lyrics)
