YOU have NO FUCKING IDEA what MY LIFE is like, and why I do what I do, and why I asked people to send me demos, and for your information I barely scrape by doing what I do, simply because I love it, so why don't you shut the fuck up before you know what the hell is up!!! WORD!!!

I am not begging, and why do you have to resort to name calling to try to belittle me? Pretty sorry! I am letting artists know that this vehicle is there for them if they want it, and it is their choice if they want it or not, but it is out there for them! I am sincerely interested! I personally put every bit of my free time into music in one way or another, and as a matter of fact, I recently have been "demoted" here at my fabulous little corporate america job, because I spend so much time doing work I really believe in, music related work, that DOES NOT PAY (or when it does, it isn't much), but I do it because I believe in it, and I love it, and it is my life! I too continue to try to make ends meet in my pursuit of my art and my love, but it is not easy! I happen to have just chosen a fork in the road, that certainly seems to be the one less traveled, and I have chosen it because it is my love, so it is interesting that this jaded letter came from you now of all times that it could have come. Say whatever you want Dark Swan. I am strong, and I know why I do what I do, and you can never take that away from me nor stop my journey. My intentions and my actions speak louder than any words you could ever say! Time will tell, time will tell.

It happens to be the small labels that I am most interested in helping to promote! I am down with the DIYers, and I am one myself!!! I CARE more than you will ever know Mr. Dark Swan. Why don't you try reading my techno review of Chair Recordings in XLR8R issue 38 for example. Also, for your information, no one at XLR8R is growing fat and rich off of that publication! Those cats work their asses off, and are constantly out and about at everything! Once again you have no idea. Your comments are completely ignorant and unfounded!

No... you give me a fucking break!

Yes, maybe you are, and maybe you are bitter, sorely mis-informed, and completely without compassion or a drop of love in your whole being too!!! What is a person like you doing writing about MUSIC of all things anyways???!!! What a JERK you are!!!

I am interested in small labels, and in music that I think is pushing us forward, or also just simply kicks ass on the dance floor! I don't want to bug Alison or Susan, but thanks for the name dropping. I wanted to ask the artists of communities of people who are part of a larger community and movement that, I too am a part of, and I want to see grow and flourish. I want to push forward the school of thought and social consciousness of sharing and helping one another in our artistic pursuits... In bringing art and love back to the masses, where it is so needed these days!!! In bringing hope for a true happiness back to us all, not these bullshit lies of a happiness you can buy from an ad on TV! I want to help push forward these artist and provide them larger recognition, and expose the voice that they pour out from deep within, because they must!!! I do this because I love it, and because I believe in music, art, and these artists! Maybe this is just something you simply cannot comprehend, and that is why you wrote this ignorant letter. Here's wishing enlightenment, peace, and love to you in the rest of your "dark" life Mr. Dark Swan! May you one day find happiness! =) Love, Forest "I do it for the joy it brings, cause I'm a joyful girl, cause the world owes me nothing, we owe each other the world. I do it cause it's the least I can do, I do it cause I learned it from you, I do it just because I want to... I want to." Ani D.
