while it might sound like a lot of rhetoric to you, for me it was 
very important, internally, to come up with a precise concept.. one 
that had relation to 12k's more "proper" label aspect... it was 
important to me to make this distinction as opposed to just slapping 
some MP3s up on the web..

if it's too much for you to deal with you can ignore it and just 
download the files.. or ignore everything altogether.. but, like it 
or not, when one is trying to run a label (or any business for that 
matter) writing press releases that make an attempt at sounding 
interesting is part of the whole job..

i suppose i could take your advice and change it to say:

"12k presents term, a bunch of MP3 releases"

it's catchy.. in a britney spears sort of way..

taylor,
