Sampler CD Gary, I’m sitting
here listening to the IndepenDisc Sampler...what a great
collection!...great stuff, indeed...I especially like The Who Whos
track, the Jennifer Parsignault track and the Cloud track, that has
fire. Thanks so
much for the copy; your role is truly a labor of love. Regards, This letter was received in response
to our article on The Rolling Stones; Subject: (no subject) First of all, let me
say, that it sounds like all of you at the Stones show in Philly 1978
were SOOOOOOOO wasted that you wouldn’t even know what songs
they were playing!! Secondly, I was at that show, and I must correct
you on many points!! I was NOT WASTED!! The Stones played a very good
set that lasted 90 minutes plus! (I keep a journal and have the
clippings and reviews to back this) Mick was told to cancel this show
because he had a 102 degree fever and the flu, had a sore throat and
was dehydrated but HE insisted on not cancelling; he did not want to
disappoint YOUR SORRY ASS!!) I’m sure you didn’t know this
because you never took the time to read the newspapers the next day! I
DID!! If you care to bash the Stones again, at least get your facts
straight! Our
response: Subject: Amazing Truly.
That was an incredible article. You hit A.O.A. on the
head— that is the like the ultimate sleeper work of genius. It gets NO props, and I think it is
some of their best work...<snip>
Thanks again, Subject: from

what goes on around here. Excellent

I’ll see you around soon. Take care and thanks again!! Frank Subject: okay here is
some feedback You have great content,

be so opinionated because “making the web work” is
my business. Subject: some feedback hey there. I just wanted to tell you I just discovered your web site, I think it’s wonderful, and what was written about music perfectly articulates how I feel. Thanks and keep up the good work.

Message: 22-7623 got my cd’s today. thanks for sending so fast. Subject: the badge - London Live I just received the two
CD set of the badge, with the third bonus CD, London Live (great disc -
thanks). Can you send, or
publish, the list of track titles so I can enter them in my Music Match
jukebox (for my iPod play list)?
Another thing - you could consider updating
the Musicmatch play list with the titles you carry, since most are not
in the CD database (until I update it). Cheers, Subject: Customer

‘Zine - Issue #64 - Jul. ‘04 Hi Gary-
we were out late last nite but checked in
around midnite and saw Peter was so happy that
you went thru the I’m sending out
this month’s update and will send everyone to the site. hell, you even made me
want to buy the record. we’re
so excited about being featured and having our music brought to a wider
audience than we ever could reach.
so for that, thanks so much.
and the comp you sent is really great. some of the bands I had
never heard of, and funny thing is that I heard one song in particular
and said “hmm, that is an awsome song” and it turns out it was Deep City Elm. The Jellyshirts song is
one of the ones I love the most that the BLB does so that was a nice
treat to listen to. we’ll be seeing
you around. Subject: Re:

of enthusiasm and love in the world of music! Dan Emery Subject: Billy Boyo
Feature FANTASTIC! What a great feature.... I guess you really
enjoyed the CD, I’m so glad of that. Thank you for taking the
time to express your feelings like that to the members of your music
club. I still play ZZ and enjoy it.
particularly for the feelings BB put in there.
I am going to forward this link to the person,
Morris Griffith, who was instrumental in getting me off my ass and BB
off the shelf. My favorite right now is
the Roots Rasta Party,
that’s my speed. Dancehall
is doing OK. Rockers will be soon. I am negotiating with
Phillip Fraser for some extra trax for “Blood of the
Saint” so I can release it as a full CD and not a Maxi. thanx again Subject: The Bon Mots

‘Zine - Supplemental Issue - Apr. ‘03 Gary- Jesus H. Fucking Christ!! I wish I had known of your site when I was putting together the CD. I needed someone to write the liner notes and when I finally found someone, he had to back out at the last minute and I ended up doing them myself. You could have done a much better job. Thanks so much for your kind words. I am sending this message after writing another one that I don’t think you got. If you did just consider this one another kudo to you and your kind words. Rocket From The Tombs may
be playing in NYC in June. When
there are more details I regards Subject: Re:

bring their own interpretations, it’s really gratifying when
someone really understands the intent. Thanks!!

‘Zine - Issue #40 - Aug. ‘02 Hi Gary- thanks for the
great review. What a pleasant surprise! Also thanks for the info on the
message group. I’m not really sure how I go about accessing
it. Do I send a message directly to you to be posted?
Occasionally we will announce an upcoming
radio interview and that would be a good sound-board. Let me know
please, and thanks again for all your support. Rick Subject: Hi Hi Gary— I’m not sure if
you got my e-mail to your other address.... Thanks so much for your
support of me and so many other indie musicians.
And thanks for bringing your daughter down for
our final show—it really meant a lot to me that you were
there! I think you should know
that I admire you a lot, and that you are one of the most inspirational
people I’ve met thru music! Peace, love and music, Subject: [IndepenDisc] IMC ‘Zine - Issue #41 -
Mar. / Sept. ‘02 Hello Gary,
it’s I’m in a hurry,
but I just wanted you to know that I loved the review (how could I
not...) and that I feel very inspired to sing today. Eva Parker Ps. Thunder In My Heart is a happy disco-tune (Carlos and Klaus didn’t know about it, and when I played it for them - after recording it - they really got a shock. They thought it was a sweet ballad. It’s not!). Subject: Re:
[IndepenDisc] IMC
‘Zine - Issue #33 - Nov. / Dec. ‘01 Gary, I just wanted to say
thank you so very much for the extremely thoughtful review you gave us. It’s really a
great read. I hope
you agree with the line I extracted from the review on the
“critics” page of our web site.
The quote really makes us sound MUCH better
than we are. If it
were me, I woulda said “Black
& White...same ol’ crap”
:) Thanks again! Subject: Re:

‘Zine - Issue #31 - Sept. ‘01 Gary, Thank you so much for

will see. Keith Subject: IndepenDisc
Party! Hi Gary! Thank you for an amazing
time...it was really a pleasure to be part of a celebration of
IndepenDisc and you, too! We
loved the music, the people...and the cake! FYI—I’m
going to take a couple of months off from playing music to clear my
head and be sure of what my priorities are. But knowing and working
with you has certainly been a highlight so far. Dan Subject:
Big Thanks from WOW! Subject:
Thanks Gary Gary, First
of all, sweet job on the site! We have you linked from the website and
I’m sure this is going to work out well. The review is
awesome too. I’m trying to collect a bunch of our reviews to
post on the website by the end of the summer, I’ll be sure to
put yours front and center. Subject: wow! ([IndepenDisc] IMC ‘Zine - Issue

the song of the week selection. you are truly a wild-man, and
i’m lucky you are. i loved so much of what you had to say

your comments, except to say: you’ve got a great ear, a big
heart, and a way with words. i

[IndepenDisc] “Song of the Week” Hi Gary— Thank you for the
incredible vote of confidence expressed in your review of our CD. Thanks, Subject: natural
selection review Hey there. Dan dropped me
word about your review of Natural Selection on www.independisc.com, so I
checked it out. Great job, man. As a writer and a critic, I appreciated
your analysis of the music—you really nailed the feel of the
music in the writing. And while I’m
not nearly as crazy about the new disc as you are, I have to say that I
share many of your sentiments about the band. When I heard L&A, I
knew, thematically, this was a great, great band, and I was thrilled to
join. And, of course, thanks
for giving the band such high praise. We couldn’t do without
it. Rock on, Subject: thank
you‘ Hey This may sound totally
unhip and uncool and non-rock and roll.
But i wanted to thank you 100,000 times over
for the amazing review. So, thank you.
I don’t have the energy to type out
the other 99,999. I
just can’t get over what an amazing review it is. thanks ORION, king of bass/ruler of rhythm Subject: Re:
