it was a good manuscript that should be published, so it was relatively easy to write the review. but yes, that's the last thing i "owed" anyone this year, so it's a good feeling.

Team9 is the work of the English-Australian producer Neil Mason. Most of his work is unauthorized mashups. Team9 formed in 1997 as a five piece band and released two albums, Gas and Air in 1999 and My Tape Machine in 2002. Originally playing guitar based pop, by 2002 Team9 were incorporating samples, loops and synths into their production.

Good Lord, been talking on two very intense Zoom calls since 11:30 AM. Mouth dry, coffee cold. Now comes the inevitable flurry of emails with questions even though I ended both meetings with "does anyone have any questions." AND I have to go to the USPS which will be a zoo, but at least I can treat myself to a lavender latte or a rose latte on the way home. FWIW, anyone in Astoria -- Sip a Cup across the street from Mount Sinai has AMAZING flavored lattes for days when you are feeling fancy. The lavender latte no doubt has a zillion calories but it's so F'n cold out you can justify it by saying you'll burn it off walking home. At least that's what I am telling myself.

But yeah, I have to walk right past Sip a Cup to get to my PO box, and I'd rather patronize a small business than the Dunkin Donuts across the street from it. I was intrigued by the concept of a floral latte, the last lavender latte I had was amazing so may do the rose one today. Check it out if you ever have an appointment at Sinai and/or have to hit the circle of hell masquerading as the 30th Avenue USPS.

You know, I still have never gotten a request for any Hanson Xmas song at my 90s gig. Seems so weird.
