So, how many bands are actually authoring THEIR OWN songs?

Just to reiterate, if bands had to author their own songs to get into RBN, RBN would suck.

Big thanks to HMX for not rock blocking.

I can attest to them not sucking. Their tracks rock and are now on my iTunes thanks to RBN.

Fair enough!

I'd still have taken the opportunity to point out that we don't suck.

Your statements allow for the two following logical conclusions:

1. So you're actively trying to prevent promotion for your band?

and

2. I'm sorry, but I don't swing that way.

Not really, and

I know! I can't wait. It'll be AWESOME. I'll put it in the contract in crayon: "James never has to waste time on the internets again!"

[Markleford]

No! I meant the... erm... "sucking thing".

Interns are good at it.
