A SENSIBLE STORE

This store is where I get to treat you as I would wish to be treated.

You can download my entire catalogue using pay-it-forward currency, standard pricing, or a self-determined price.

This is where you can come to pay for cds if you don't have the cash at a show.
This is where you can pay in a lump sum for 'roughly the right amount.'
This is where you can replace your JS cds with high quality downloads (and artwork) rather than burning them yourselves.

These are 'trans-actions', not 'tips' or 'donations'.

I hope that what you experience feels good to you. Like a neighbourhood store where, as long as the idea makes sense, it flies. 'Sure, bring the rest of the cash in later and I'd like a coffee with double-cream.'

Sensible is cool in my books.
