ha ha ha that phone service is mental
Ive had people at my house with mixes on whilst we chat/drink etc and only find out at the end of a mix that someone has used it to id about 6 tracks from a mix - only for me to tell them that 1: I have all the tracks if they had asked 2: I can get a tracklist 3: its a bought mix and the cover is next to the CD player the amount of money that people must waste on that service, but if it keeps it there for when its needed then I guess its not wasted. To get this back on topic someone used it to id that Divina track that was bootlegged recently when I was playing the record Cheers BT --- "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Ah ha Thor! > > This is most interesting (to me anyway).
