Hey Mr. J. I was flipping through my Magnet Magazine yesterday and just happened to see one y'alls reviews quoted for an album.

I was like "Hey!"

REALLY? what was it??!?!

I can't remember right now. It was a ad for an album. I think it was... Caroline or something like that. The quote was to the effect that this was one of the best albums of the year.

Your quote was listed first.

Oh! that! yeah. okay. i think i have a copy of that ad somewhere. I thought it was just something they included in their press kit. but heh, i guess the label was making me feel good about it.

i guess i should actually review their record now lol.

fair enough, but seems like all sites could be potential snoop zones if someone wanted it enough.

Yeah, but Myspace is a worldwide top 10 website, so it makes it that much easier to find people. Lazy people like senior executives with too much time on their hands know about it so it's just easy.

i really can't blame employers for checking out what potential employees are doing, especially if what they do involves either sensitive material or dealings with children. seeing what happened to janik was a real wake-up call to me; i'd heard about teachers being fired for having myspace accounts and associating with students online.

That's the thing. Janik is a PHOTOGRAPHER! He's human and allowed to his opinions as well, but at the end of the day HE TAKES PICTURES! Why anyone would pull their business from a photographer they didn't agree with....I thought it was about talent, not if someone conformed to the ideology of whatever company...

I assumed it was the Dallas Morning News, and if that's right they would have pulled their business not because they disagreed, but because they wanted to avoid any hint of association with someone who could be looked at as biased - even if he's not writingfor the paper.
