I suggested once to Nick Saloman that he set up his Woronzow site to accept
credit card payments so fans in the States could grab hold of his back
catalog more easily. He told me that setting up credit card transactions
was far too costly based on the low volume of business they did. I assume
it would be a similar situation with Bedouin, so any online "store" would
have to be cash or money order through snail mail.

Of course they could always sign to a label that allows those transactions
on their own site. And the band could just point to it from their site.
Does their label do this? Then there's also the ubiquitous links to CDNow,
Amazon.com, etc.
