Hey Kris, thanks for the plug. Identify yourself next time you're in the
shop. I think the "owner" you talked to last night was a different owner,
as it wasn't me!

Anyway, here's the scoop on our mail order trials and tribulations, because
I know some folks are curious. I finally got the computer system and e-mail
account set up directly from the store, and we've been furiously typing up
a catalog that can be sent by mail or by e-mail to interested parties. Plus
we figured out a system to actually have the weekly updates happen on a
timely basis, as I've been promising for the last year.

Then, three days ago the computer broke down!

So now I'm back in the studio typing this, we're fixing the computer, and
hope to have our promised AJ mail order services up and running soon. Plus,
mid-June or so we'll have a web page as well, so everything is looking up.
We might get delayed a bit as I'm heading to San Francisco for a week at
the end of the month but rest assured, our mail order system will be a
regular running thing soon (I know I've said this before! Bear with me!).

In the meantime, you can always call or e-mail me with requests. Our store
phone number is (407) 246-0072. You can ask for me (Michael), BMF, or John.
And our new email address is badmood@earthlink.net .

I'll keep everyone up to date on this. Hope this wasn't too 'spam'-like of
a plug.

On the AJ/hip hop tip, though: Dr. Octagon! What more can I say? This
sucker has infected the brain like a "space doo doo crystal" only could. As
CK Smart said to me about this album, "Schwing!!!". Check it, folks. And I
know it's out on Mo Wax in Europe/UK now. Does the Mo Wax vinyl contain the
track about "Mr. Gerbick... half man/half shark" that is only a CD bonus
track in the US? If anyone knows, spill 'em beans, because that track's
worth getting the import vinyl for...

PEACE 'em
