Re: [microsound] 12k = HAPPY

["j.frede" <jfrede@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

as i said in my previous email, i welcome this new label, i have been aware
of jpop for a while now but havent picked any albums up due to not knowing
where to start, HAPPY will make that a little easier.

im glad that my musical tastes ARE that diverse, there is nothing more
boring and stagnant than just listening to the same music over and over and
over..... for me anyway.
