BLATENT SELF-PROMOTION

Self-hype is something I've always hated about many other blogs. Yet what is a blog, ultimately, but a loveletter to ones self (smoochsmoochsmooch)? It's now official Valley Boy policy to lay the hype on good and thick whenever possible. So here goes: Go check out my piece on Anthony Batt and Buzznet in the October issue of Los Angeles Magazine. Anthony's an Internet pioneer who just hasn't been able to catch a break. But Buzznet may finally be his ticket. I'd give you a link, but L.A. Magazine is a bit slow in getting its virtual house in order. So pick it up and read the piece, spread the word. Do whatever you need to do.



Also, it's been out a few months, but I produced and wrote a fairly intense episode of VH1's Behind the Music on Pantera -- how's that for hype? -- which you can watch, thanks to my friends at YouTube.
