Several times a week we are contacted by a label wanting us to carry their stuff, and I dutifuly forward that email to Don and then delete it. One more thing off of my to-do list is the way I look at it. Don takes the emails seriously, and often reviews the CDs as well, which helps generate sales for the label. Don's also patient and diplomatic in his assessment of new music. I, on the other hand, throw up my hands in disgust and crank up the Led Zeppelin if I can't get into something new...Dave, Owner of EAR/Rational Musicnoreply@blogger.com
