Chris: ya, forgot to mention this earlier: as greg says, most of us writers/radio/dj people have "real" jobs (i.e. jobs that pay the bills to allow us to do the writing/radio/djing). it's always been sort of a private joke between myself and greg and others that write about how "glamourous" this writing is ;) to put it simply: yes, we are lucky and happy to get a lot of promos thrown at us, but it sure ain't glamorous, chris. believe me. nothing like editors screaming "duke, your column is late, where the $%# is it?" while your "real" job is on the other line going "duke, we absolutely have to have you come in and work a double shift today, i know it's your day off, but..." etc. wouldn't stop writing for the world, but hell, it sure ain't glamourous :) Andrew Greg Clow wrote: > On Tue, 16 Feb 1999, sfwd_prod wrote: > > > picked up the new funki porcini single, rocket soul. > > damn good. anyone have a tracklisting for the full length? > > > > greg (you dirty bastard who hs the full length already, plus > > the promo 12" of babylon with extra mix! i want your job!) > > Heh.
