It’s wonderful to see how the music industry cares about blogs like this and also, how much work they put into their pr-campaigns. I seriously wonder: Which are the “new bands” that have become Anna’s new faves? Confuse? Fear Of God? Or Pandemonium? Let us know, Anna!
Dear Erich,
I am writing to you because I have become an avid reader of your blog as it seems you report on music that interests me and my friends and it is how I have discovered several of my favorite new bands. Perhaps, this is not the norm for how you choose to discover the music you do but I have become fascinated by an artist from England who has frequented the U.S. in the last year or so, and is starting to garner attention from a few tastemakers (or at least that is what they like to call themselves). I find that you are a real taste maker!
I don’t recall many female artists who write and perform their own material that have received mass attention in the U.K first before doing so in the U.S. I believe this artist, Natascha Sohl might in due time do just that which is the reason I begged her U.S. manager, Aimee Berger at 2 Generations for a job to help coordinate marketing efforts for this artist. In my opinion, Natascha will not remain under the radar for long. She co-wrote and sang 13 tracks on a record titled “Dirty Little Word” alongside U.S. producer and songwriter Russ Desalvo, mixer and engineer (with additional production) Dug McGuirk and noteworthy songwriters Dana Calitri , Martin Briley, Arnie Roman and Tanya Leah.
She recently signed on to be represented by Adam Elfin at First Contact Agency for bookings outside North America and she has been offered a record deal for North America with a subsidiary of Universal Records but at present has not accepted. You can get a taste of her vocal capabilities and songwriting strength at http://www.myspace.com/nataschasohl however some of the tracks attracting attention have not been publicly revealed and those songs include but are not limited to Body Beautiful and Habit. From what I have learned about you, I believe that your taste may be piqued as I have enjoyed your opinions! If you would be interested in receiving an advance copy of the album for your consideration and review, please email me a follow up and kindly include your address. If you have a desire to interview Natascha and/or feature one of her songs on your site, I would be delighted to discuss the opportunity.
Fondly,
Anna

I’m guessin’ that such stilted lingo is what happens when Dad (who is not a native English speaker) gets involved with his kid’s career….or some other, similarly out-of-touch old fart tries his hand at generating a living off the poor tastes of “the kids”. Whatever the intent, it’s one of the funniest press releases I’ve read in a while!

haha seems like your blog is attracting a wide variety of people.

Clearly this chick really digs you and this whole press release thing is just an excuse to get to know you. You should poke her at your earliest convenience!

I am inclined to agree with the last anonymous’ comment, however I regret to inform that I have also been targeted by these neo-marketing scum in the past. Got emails like “i like your blog, would you care to post my bands’ demo” etc. Then you listen to the record and its dire shit so you ignore to post it. Then later you find the record posted all over the place by more naive blogger.
But she is hot though…hu-hem!

Hey – I thought Anna was sending me email ( and was digging my shit). Wow, what a whore.

We’ve all been cheated on. Beatch.

Don’t slag her off Erich! I really think she’s got a crush on you. Why else would she write a song called “If I was a boy”?
[Reply]
She looks like she digs the cocaine. You know what that means: In the words of the immortal Ig “I’m LOOSE”!
[Reply]
there probably (correction)
You should shoot a letter back to this guy/gal whatever and suggest that the hussy creature write a song about her ass. Women singing about their asses are very popular right now in the States; so she can take it to the next level and write a song about penetrating her hindquarters and have some black Southerner with plated teeth interject with lines like “make th’at ass be bleedin’ bleedin’, butt cheeks be squeezin’ squeezin’.”
They can film the video in a luxury apartment and at the end pull the camera up so that it shows an overhead view that reveals the apartment’s furniture (brown leather couches) to be set up to resemble a giant anus, the black rapper can dance in the center while wearing a brown leather Shaft style trench coat so that he resembles a humanoid turd pulsating at the center of the anus. While singing, the peroxide hussy can wear round sunglasses with oversized dark pink frames so that her eyes work as portals into the rectal void.

Milky, I think we all should take the possibility in consideration, that his is a very nice and charming person. When she doesn’t sing.

[Reply]

[Reply]
I’ll scan the label too, it wasn’t released with a pic sleeve.
Just shoot me an email with your address in it and I’ll try to get it out in the next couple of weeks.
I’ve got an LP they released too that’s got standard country songs OLD STYLE really good stuff like “Muleskinner Blues”. I’ll send some other cassette recorded stuff as a suprise.

Did you put a special digital disease in the comment box that makes me misspell words?
Anyway, to Mr. Anonymous who called me a sick fuck; you MR ANONYMOUS ARE rubber bat genitals frying in the sulfur pit of sorrow on the edge of hell and I am magic angelic child of glitter on the bed of pretty and happy. You cannot shoot ugly at me because I am Milky, silky, pure and my blonde wavy pretty hair of sheer masculine power is greater than your ugly rat tooth mutilated gin blossom deformed face. You pig-slut slop anal cloud of Dracula breath. Drink Oprah’s stale urine under the shadow of EVIL nuclear hate. You.
