A Thing Like Any Other

By credit card: go to http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/persians, http://www.apple.com/itunes/, and/or any of the 30 other places our album is sold online for all the details.

In person: buy CDs at any Persians show, at Copy Cow in the La Galerie shopping center in Starkville, at BeBop Music in the Winn Dixie shopping center in Starkville, and probably at a few other Starkville-area establishments. You can also come see us at our respective Starkville haunts (McCain Hall 202D, Humphrey Coliseum). The base price of the CD is $10, but at shows with a cover charge we usually reduce the price. Because we're cool like that.

By mail: send a check MADE OUT TO "JOHN BROCATO" for $10 per CD to the address below, and in no time the number of CDs you require will be mailed to you in an attractive brown-kraft bubble mailer. Shipping is free.

CAUTION: for reasons our mothers never explained, sending cash through the mail is scary, so we discourage this practice, but give it a shot if you really want to.
