Welcome to the very first edition of the Context Free Media newsletter
(i.e. spam). I will be sending out these messages approximately once a
month to announce new releases, activities of Context personnel and
various other bits and bobs. If you wish to be removed from the mailing

Bits and Bobs
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Sutekh recently fell off his bicycle in the middle of a busy San
Francisco street. He cut and bruised his right leg and hand, sprained
his right elbow, and ruined a pair of pants. Luckily, he has recovered
quickly and can be seen once again speeding around town on his trusty
two wheels.
Fashion news:
Safety Scissors is sporting a new self-described "glam mullet", complete
with bleached blonde fringe. Twerk has been growing out his hair for
quite some time and now features a shaggy "indie" do. Kit Clayton has
recently begun to wear his glasses, making him a much safer driver (not
to mention how smart he looks). Sutekh has been wearing the same glasses
for 4 years and sports the same boring shaved head. The others say he
needs a new look. Updates will be provided in the next installment of
the Context Free Media newsletter.
Thanks for reading!
