Archival CD-R?

/. had a link to a CD Freaks excerpt of a Dutch article which found that many CD-Rs are unreadable after less than 2 years. I know that Kodak claims 100+ year lifetime for data recorded on some CD-R blanks, and I've read a lot on the reasons why some are good and some are bad, does anyone know of a good place to buy the good (gold substrate and dye with stable plastics) media? Even if they're a couple of bucks a pop, there are a few things I want to be able to burn, toss in a drawer, and have a reasonably good chance of recovering and migrating when devices to read the CD are becoming obsolete.
