Yeah everyone is being very sensitive about everything, incl. me... ;) I guess it's that time of year. ;)
I really wish Peacefrog would liase more with media - I think the artists want it. It could well be lack of interest on the part of the Australian/NZ distributor (who are just pushing breaks these days) but I would love to do more interviews in credible mags here - at my expense - and a friend of mine who is a longtime fan wanted to do a launch for Moodymann's CD at a good club and no one wanted to support them. If there's free publicity going you should take it. ;) I guess they don't want to pimp themselves out. ---------- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: "Thomas D.
