# A handful of links
Once we submit our music to the good people at CD Baby, we’re pretty much at their mercy. They send it to iTunes, Napster, eMusic etc., and eventually it appears for download.
Not all that they do is obvious, though, and a quick Google search reveals this:
http://www.stumbleaudio.com/#homeguard/1
It seems to be a way to ‘stumble’ across new music. Seemingly made for the busy youth of today with an attention span shorter than an ant’s miniskirt, you simply give music a thumbs-up or thumbs-down as you listen, before clicking and moving on to the next song. On the other hand, it does provide links to buy our music and even share it with a friend, which at least makes it a worthwhile curio.
Perhaps not so these:

http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/the_home_guard
Any ideas? If anyone can shed any light on the above, we’d be glad to hear from you!

I thumbs-upped The Orator on that first link.
The 2nd link only had links to Acuvi’s YouTube image-stills for each of your songs.
The 3rd… let’s just not go there. There wasn’t anything there!

On your “blog/buzz” thing on reverbnation, I found out that you have a head of steam (at least) 7 places online.

You’re absolutely right, Eira – our music was scattered to the four winds early on and we really need to make a comprehensive list of links. We know about: CD Baby, iTunes, Napster, Rhapsody, eMusic, AmazonMP3, PayPlay… there’s a handful of *really* obscure ones as well. And I seem to remember a place you can buy Home Guard ringtones, too!
