Q:
I have a computer, I think, and I'm interested in hearing your music. Apparently I can do that at this website. Well, I'm clicking my moose, but I don't hear your music. Can you help me?
A:
Oh yes. Under the picture for each song is the word "Download." Once you click that, you should get a little box that asks if you want to open it or save it. Most people will want to save it. You will then be able to choose where to put it--it should automatically go to your desktop (the thing you always look at on your screen when your computer is just sitting there waiting for you to do something). Once it's saved on your computer, you can click on the file and it should play. The songs are in mp3 format, and almost everybody has a program that will automatically open and play mp3s when you open them.
In case you don't have a program that will play mp3s, click here for the free Windows Media Player.
If you have a Mac, then I doubt you need my help.
Q:
OK, I've got the music, but my computer has crappy little speakers, and I'd like to hear your stupendous music on my honkin stereo or in my hot and tight car system. Best Buy really set me up, man. What do I do about that?
A:
Of course I'd like you to hear this music in the best possible way, so I applaud your concern. Whatever mp3 program you use should have the capability of converting mp3s into CD format (.wav), but you need a CD-writer on your computer. If you don't have one and you'd just like a CD from me, let me know, as I'd be very happy to make one for you. In fact, the sound quality of the CD versions should technically be better than the mp3s, but I'm hoping the difference will be negligible. Also, if you're really patient I'll probably put together a nicer CD version of all the songs at the end of the year, with graphics and everything. We'll see. A lot can and will happen before then.
Of course these questions are from imaginary interested parties, but if you have real questions, please email them to me. If you're not someone I know, please mention the website or the club in the subject so I don't mistake your message as evil and delete it.
Thanks.

Answer Update: Several people have said that when they click "Download" they don't get the option to save. I think this is some browser setting that's causing this, but I haven't yet figured out what that would be. In the meantime you should be able to get around this by right-clicking on "Download" then choosing "Save Target As," and then you should be able to save it wherever you want.
