Martin	Rob Harding was unavailable for comment.
Martin	Officially it is not supposed to be possible Al,unofficially, it`s the same as the 80`s. The village indie shop which I lived by in the 80`s was the most poorly kept secret Gallup shop in the world. Major companies would send acts down to sign their product, and the 12" singles, double packs etc would leave the shop for as little as 50p and be logged onto the system. A miracle like Nizlopi as an indie, last year is virtually impossible to achieve without the live following they had prior to release, and the superb video which we don`t have. I am quite happy with the rattling of cages currently, and of course the Pope himself is giving us unaware media support at this stage. There is a song from about 1980, called "Christmas Rapping", which emerges every December on playlists(probably one of JK`s, I have no idea), it wasn`t a genuine hit, but this is my long term goal with this song currently. We are getting Paypal sales, but of course they can`t log for a chart position. Major press release on Friday. Thanks for asking.
Al	Martin .. is it still possible to find out which shops submit to the official charts? I recall several bands during the 80s targeting these shops to give themselves a booster. Our last local indie record shop closed a while back. I wish you and Rob success with the Pope song.
Martin	Alas, Rob fans, all this attention and press release work and we are still self distributing! I have to say the DIY approach is rather fun, but come December we will be in the office less. Any e-mail enquiries should be addressed to oneminutealbum@aol.com and marked "Pope", in the title for a download or a cd, Paypal only, failing that we are just mailing copies to indie retaliers, and there is a Christmas gig planned now. It`s all a rather fun project and doesnt it just remind you of the film "Love Actually"? Any tipsters with indie retailers in your own area, that we havent found please get in touch. Cheers wingedley, Martin
The Cat	I looked and the Fab Mag says that Rob is 50 years older than Julie - not 50 years old. So they got his age a year out because Julie is 12. Thanks for the info on Men Without Hats.
