Hey, Jeremy.
Do you still play music from South Africa? My name’s Rowan Stuart & I’m a
South African solo artist. My album’s more alternative pop than rock, but
definitely worth a listen, if I may say so! I’d be happy to send you a CD
if you think your station might be interested. Otherwise, I’ll leave some
links to check out my music, in case you wanna.
Thanks a lot!
Rowan Stuart

An email from Dave between him and another Zoner behind the lore of USS’s new track, “Laces Out.”
Hey Dave,
A quick regarding USS “Laces Out” and the potential Ace Ventura. You are right on the money. Here’s the specific remarks from their manager when I asked:
“Yes – that’s where it’s from. When USS performs the single live, Jay usually asks the crowd if they know which way the laces should go according to Ace Ventura – of course they yell “out” and then Jay gets into a call and response with the crowd with him yelling “laces” and the crowd shouts back out” – now they’re ready to play the song!”
Awesome!
All the best,
Oscar

Coral and I decided long before Madelyn was even born that she would be a music snob when as she is growing up.
Teacher: “Alright class, time to do a sing-a-long.” How about Ba Ba Black Sheep.”
Madelyn: “swa, That song sucks. Just stab me in the ear, that would be easier than listening to this pedestrian shit.”
Keeping with Madelyn’s educational goals, Sara P found this wonderous product. And hey! Madelyn has a birthday coming up…

Go with yourself.
