Thanks for the thoughts. If I made a type of music that I would expect
to live on ever in my life I would indeed pull my stuff from there.
There's also the idea of "Fox" who in my opinion is right up there with
Satan.
However, the idea that Fox would use my ambient wacky music for
something is almost enough for me to put up even more.
Imagine it, fox breaks to emergency news coverage..
and Ambient IDM from myspace is playing! Hell if i knew fox was going to
use my music I would've send them a cd a long time ago.
Ok, I've had too much vodka tonight.
