Magnatune Owner's Blog

Here is an interesting blog with information on the buying and selling of CD's a la Magnatune, where the buyers choose the price they want to pay. The suggested price is usually $8, but can go down to $5 or up to $10. The demographics are interesting, as well. PayPal accounts for only 20+% of payments, while VISA hits much heavier.

Just An Ordinary Guy Holding An Imaginary Dog

People who knew the killer of "Dimebag" and the others at the Damageplan gig said he was just an ordinary guy who didn't seem unusual, other than he hung out at a tatoo parlor and stared at patrons in a fixed way. Then there was the imaginary dog that he talked to and he laughed for no apparent reason sometimes, but otherwise he "was just a quiet, ordinary guy."

"....Brey and former friend Dave Johnson said they had become frightened by Gale's behavior and distanced themselves from him several years ago. By that time, Johnson said, Gale had begun talking and laughing to himself and once appeared to be holding an imaginary dog."...full story at Blogcritics
