Awwwwweesome! Good work! I am quite literally going to go out and buy this magazine now. I am also insanely jealous you met Heath Bradbury. Not exactly ‘in’ Karnivool but close enough to whip up significant envy.

Not bad, Andrew. You could have been a little more critical, though, and emphasized the “lightning strike” nature of these placements. You might also have pointed out that there are a lot more opportunities with lower-profile placements that make for a lower reward. Finally, some figures on how many tracks are available for placement but never placed would have put the whole thing in perspective.

These kinds of pieces are a nice, positive thing but leaving out the reality check just contributes to the mythology of popular music. That puts them in the same category as Australian Idol …

But congratulations on your piece. It’s a great leap forward for you and I hope it leads to greater things.

I’ve almost finished my PhD, so feel free to contact me for a quote whenever you like … :-)
