Some good ways to pass the time on a rainy, icy “spring” day in NC: send off resumes to far flung record labels. Watch some Mr. Show episodes. Practice for your first band audition in five years. (By the way, if you happen to run a great record label I know a kick-ass designer with indie cred to spare…) ~
