Everything below is [sic], except I deleted the correspondent’s name. Note to all seeking coverage: Study this email to know what not to do.
my name is xxxx xxxx. I work w/a producer who is releasing an album featuring some of seattes top urban artists like vitamin d, choklate, the parker bros. etc. we would like to meet with u to get sum press onthe album coming out. it is differentfrom anything coming out now because it isnt all rap, it is music. please hit me back ,u will be pleasantly surprised
What is this music he speaks of?
Wow, I'll never cease to be amazed by how stupid people can be... Does no one realize that just because its a creative medium, it doesn't necessarily mean you can get away with totally substandard business practices?
Is the mistake that they wrote the Stranger for coverage? They aren't emailing you about Girl Talk, or some horrible scenster dj-night, or an awful tour diary for some terrible dj. They should know that the Stranger doesn't care about music.
Ah, nerd. I think the mistakes are the many typographical/spelling errors, and the implication that rap isn't music. But you're right, it's probably just because Segal doesn't care about music.
