Motherfucker it IS called Talkie Walkie (as opposed to the other way around)! Who the shit labelled my mp3s wrong!?? Bastards...

Yeah Tony; Brian was pissed that he couldn't hire you. But I heard the same thing as Beck- he's really pushing to get you back in. And this one bitch quit too, so there's definitely an opening.

Yeah, it's all good Al. I know what you mean, and I realize it too. But I can't help but somehow feel cheated when everybody told me to go to University instead of do what I actually wanted to do... only to find out that that was a big five-and-a-half year mistake. Oh well. There's still lots of time. It just makes it more personal when someone you know is doing it and you're not able to, y'know? I'm totally already over it, but at the time it was pretty infuriating.

Just to throw more onto the pile, Tay some people get big in a year and some guys take 20 year! Everyone has their own time to get themselves somewhere. Obviously we are young and impulsive and we want things now! Well somethings you can get very easily. Take getting a engineering job for example, I'll eventually get one but it will take some time. I have to keep on applying, working every angle, I know things for me take alot of effort just to get something small. Some people might get the same job in 1 week of applying while it may take me several months. It doesn't matter you try until you get it!

puunnnnnk music as Danny calls it, prides itself on that very DIY ethic -you're fuckin' PUUNNNNNK now Al!

Tay you have been given many chances to go to something bigger and better. You can only blame yourself for not taking these chances by the balls and exploiting them. If another one of these chances comes and you "drop the ball" so to speak, go bang your head against the wall. Sides chances are small and they build on each other. Obviously Sam Weber took the chances and built on them. So stop complaining and go out and get some, can't do shit by just moping around here.

From Listen Records:

V/A - The Beastie Collection Vol.1 - Strictly Breaks - 2LP
        - "The Beasties always had beats, but never more so than on Paul's Boutique (with the help of the Dust Brothers). The first volume of The Beastie Collection focuses entirely on their classic sophomore release, including an entire side dedicated to the cut-and-pastery that is "Shake Your Rump." More Louie than Phil Rizzuto and Doris the Thinkasaurus." 34 tracks.

*Wolfnote - Sacred Bodies - Black Box - CD
        - Following the success of a critically acclaimed EP entitled "Si! Si! Si!" (Farway Records) and their debut full-length entitled "This Is The Getdown" released on Black Box Recordings in the summer of 2004, The Wolfnote are back with another groundbreaking, genre defying release‚ Sacred Bodies. This all-new collection of songs explores new areas of The Wolfnote's signature raw and gritty - yet danceable and well-refined sound. Described as a much darker effort, this record still relays all the passion and memorable hooks for which the band has become known. It is these catchy and passionate songs that have garnered them such great support from a cult of loyal fans, college and community radio, as well as support from some of the biggest and most well respected entertainment publications in the country. With all previous work being completely self produced, the most notable difference on this release is the presence of renowned producer Alex Newport, who's previous work includes At The Drive In, Mars Volta, The Melvins, Panthers, Curlupandie and Brazil. Newport brings a new dynamic to the bands production, focusing on translating their energetic and cathartic live performance to disc. This live performance is what the band have become most notorious for‚ consistently leaving audiences in awe, exhausted from dancing and becoming a first-hand subscriber to The Wolfnote's "Party Politik". This summer will be no different as they embark upon an extensive month-long tour of Canada in support of "Sacred Bodies". This will include a week long run of industry and media showcases in Southern Ontario in mid-August. This summer The Wolfnote unleashes another chapter in their quest for total and complete dance floor domination, an attempt to revolutionize the way people feel and think about music.

Hey Tony, from what I hear, head office put Brian on a hiring freeze because he hired so many people in such a short amount of time. He's trying to fight it though because the people are needed; there's no shortage of work, and some of the people he hired last month are gone already. We'll see what happens, I'm sure he's not trying to screw you on purpose.
