MOTM

I am pretty quiet on the list, however I am shamelessly plugging a band that I 
have worked with and shared synth toys with to help make them "soon to be 
famous."  ;)  It is American SynthPop at its finest, ala: Erasure, Mouse on Mars, 
High Llamas, DM, Heaven 17, etc you get the picture.  They are great people, 
and put on a fun show.  If you can make it you will not be let down.  Tell them 
Aaron sent you!!  I doubt it will get you anyting free....but then again... you 
might and they may just charge it to my card.....

Thanks to all the really active people who help make MOTM so great!
