I wonder how many collaborations or other opportunities MSP passed up because "they don't do email" - these things matter.
Thats bollocks.... their agents have email which is how collaborations usually happen... *my people will talk to your people*

Aye, surely most of it goes through the management? If someone really wanted to work with them, I doubt not being able to email would put them off?

Yeah.. they've had a hell of a lot of collaborations since the turn of the century actually. Off the top of my head, Andy Cato, Nina Persson, Charlotte Church, the midget from The Enemy, Ian McCulloch John Cale, Duff McKagan, KT Tunstall, Cate Le Bon, Lucy Rose, Green Garside, Andy Cairns, Jamie Roberts... And the opportunities? What, like appearing on Jools Holland every time they've got an album to promote, Saturday Kitchen/Sunday Brunch or whatever it's called, Strictly Come Dancing, getting their songs on Match Of The Day and other sports programs and having their first ever US TV performance on the Late Late Show? Yeah, they don't do badly...

I'm always making the effort to communicate with him through the traditional means of knocking on the door. He doesn't answer. ....Think the court order came through the traditional means of the post too....

I only possess a mobile because someone gave me one, then another one. I don't understand the concept of mobile. I like email...mainly cos it means you don't have to talk to people
