Thanks for recognizing this invaluable promotional tool. There is no way to mechanize enthusiasm and real energy for musical project.
People really do matter.

And in the last few years, the number of outlets that will let me have instant gratification via MP3 purchases has grown in leaps and bounds, which is great! Having said that, it irks me when I come across an album on eMusic, for instance, that is not available in the UK – similarly for Amazon’s and Aubible’s US vs UK sites. Grr! What is even more infuriating is that there is no real way to (legally) let my friends listen to more than 30 seconds of most of my favourite tracks – Last.fm does a good job, but now that they are restricting streaming to a few areas of the world, and requiring others to pay in order to get to hear the tunes.
