i'm glad that moby finally spoke up. it's great that he was able to thank
gwen for any influence and that he was able to get her to sing vocals on a
mix. i think that if musicians were more into working with each other just
for the pure fun (and not just for benefits-which is mainly when i see any
musicians getting together for a song) there probably wouldn't be this line
that divides music into categories. ok.. so maybe that's a far-fetched
dream, but it irks me sometimes. gwen volunteered to sing, not caring about
$$ or anything, she just wanted to be a part of something. it takes real
musicians to make music for fun and not for $$.
as for all of you already getting PLAY, i'm jealous!!! i have to wait until
june, being in the states and all. ::sigh!:: maybe i'll be able to find it
online. does anyone know any european sites that already have it?????
anyways, just thought i'd should say something since i've been quiet for a
while. gotta go to work now.
