Personally, I don't have a problem with messages like this. In fact, commerciality aside, I appreciate and encourage small lables, bands, venues, etc. to be able to subsist financially through sales and customers. Just please do make sure that anyone wishing to tell us of an upcoming gig, album, or whatever please include it along with a 'proper' post. I think I speak for most people when I say that I'd like to keep popjourno a spam-free zone, and Alexander is definitely well within my personal guidelines in posting this sort of stuff. After all, what with there only being four major players - possibly only three soon - in the record label business, it's always welcome to see small upstarts (especially if their records are catalogued as DISC 001 or 002 ;-)).

When I said 'tonight', I forgot about our little virtual world. 'Tonight' was Central European Time, which is nine hours ahead of California, six ahead of New York, and one ahead of England. All other time zones, sorry, but my math's not up for it 'tonight'!

There's nothing wrong with digging up old discussions, as long as it's a topic that several people on the list are interested in and would like to talk about. Just everyone please keep in mind to keep it civil and polite, even if you strongly disagree. Disagreement is king, rudeness is court jester (Jesus, where did that one come from?!!).

What was that?!! Erm... Well, for the record, I bought Yo La Tengo's new one today, and it's a corker, but at the same time I am still burning with curiosity as to what the new Steely Dan album sounds like. Call me a music whore, junkie, what have you. Viva Forever... Well, not quite.
