great work. Rochelle Subject: IndepenDisc 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 frank Hi Gary, Once again, I am impressed with your writing style and honest grasp
of our scene and what goes on around here. Excellent
job! Thank you very much for mentioning my name; it’s nice to know
that your efforts are noticed and appreciated. I’m sure I’ll see you around soon. Take care and thanks
again!! Frank Subject: okay here is some feedback You have great content, but the navigation and presentation need to
be taken up a notch. I can 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.
Subject: Thank you very much! Subject: Saucers - What We Did Subject: Customer 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 Inquiry: 53-4936 Thanks for your swift service, you don’t play! Claude. Subject: Re: IndepenDisc Order Confirmation Hello, I received the cd today, everything is OK.

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: [IndepenDisc] IMC

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 saying: THANK YOU PROFESSOR EARDRUMS! Dear Professors - Okay, we knew you guys were

this time. Well, must go....Cheers!! Subject: Re: [IndepenDisc] IMC
‘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: [IndepenDisc] IMC
‘Zine - Issue #43 - Nov. ‘02 Gary, thanks for the great review! The best part for me, though, is
that you’re absolutely dead on: You get it! Though I also appreciate when people
bring their own interpretations, it’s really gratifying when someone really
understands the intent. Thanks!!
Subject: Angelwing review ([IndepenDisc] IMC ‘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: [IndepenDisc] IMC ‘Zine - Issue #31 - Sept. ‘01 Gary, Thank you so much for your glowing review. I don’t know how well artists sell on the net
but I guess we 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

review of our CD. Thanks, Subject: natural selection review Hey there. Dan dropped me word about your review of Natural Selection
on 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: [IndepenDisc] IMC
Zine Supplemental Issue Dec ‘99 Hi Gary— Amazing! Thanks for the
