    The press release hall of shame thread

    This is me - never used! I got a collaborator who worked in marketing once to do one about me - I think it's pretty awesome, especially the bathos-laden ending. This up and coming Producer/Songwriter started out as a classical pianist, but by the age of 14 was already immersing himself in the...

    vinyl purists: you are boring. please stop.

    zhao did you get out of the wrong side of bed or something? Martyn makes a mix cd, explains his reason for doing so in a fashion that works well for him, and apparently that's dishonest??
