Wally from The Basics (and Gotye) is kind of a web geek I reckon. He manages all their CD ordering and mailing himself it seems. He even hand-wrote the addresses on my Gotye CDs when I ordered them. Ordering CDs online seems like a slight waste of postage, but I also reckon the musicians must get a fair chunk more. Especially if they reckon it's worth the effort of building CD ordering applications and posting people the CDs themselves.
I have thought this, also. I’ve bought two cds a year or two apart and the handwriting was magnificent on both. I nearly kept the envelope(s) and developed a crush based on handwriting alone.

And I finally got the album today. It’s been sitting at my mum’s house for two months. Dang.
