Want to know how much I love Blind I? I think I will spend 5 minutes telling you why I do. Sometimes I have to write about artists like (*dies*) Flo-Rida. That’s why in spring 07, I submitted my app to become a part of the team. I was instantly sold after my first visit. It’s refreshing to mesh with a crop of folks that are not afraid to delve into good music. To be atypical and forward-thinking, and highlight what’s new in the market. The boys have the new new on smash, so I guess my niche is the archives and I find it delightful.
I got the title “Pick a Shore†after Mr. Right Now asked me where we will be going this spring. Warm, drum heavy, sexy tunes for your vacay. Break out your beach chair. Where is your passport taking you? I plan to kick my heels up in Santorini. Travel is important for the soul. If you are hitting anybody’s beach, please bring this comp along. $ stank you for the fabulous globe art!
Love as usual.
