I think they meant a message in general.

Go ahead..their music is excellent. I urge all Prince fans to get to know their music, they won't be disappointed!

Note that they did the last interview as a web chat rather than an orger actually questionning them on camera so its likely they will do that again.

Write to them via their website I guess.

I think I would be just as keen to meet them IRL as I would Prince!

Thanks for being positive you guys . I'll post something on thier forum

The timing might be perfect considering that they are promoting a new album.

Good idea.

SNAPSHOTS

Their new album sounds exciting . Previously unreleased stuff

Yes, looking forward to it....loved White Flags of Winter Chimneys.

They also have an unreleased album called Friendly Fire from aroud 1995 (title not given by them by the bootleggers) which was their work with Trevor Horn. It was never released as they had a difference of opinion with him on the direction it was going. Wendy and Lisa have previously said they don't mind fans seeking it out for download as they don't have the rights to it (the rights are still with ZTT records)

I'm doing an interview with them for my blog to promote SNAPSHOTS.

I might try to get this one out on a few different music sites also.

It won't be a Youtube thing tho.

Thank you for not putting it on Huffington Post.

Well it will go there, but I want it on other music sites as well.

Aight, I see I will have to petition them to *not* allow you to post it there.

I truly understand and fully appreciate your support for writers like myself, but hope you don't petition them not to allow it there. I specifically requested the interview and it was granted for my Huffpost blog.

Huffpost might be making $$ hand over fist but it is not robbing anyone of anything. We are all writing for it voluntarily because (at least in my case) it is opening some doors which are leading to other opportunities.

Sorry, I don't agree with the whole voluntarily part. There is a legal precedent that what Arrianna has done is illegal. I'll gladly share that information with you offline. Don't want to threadjack this any further.

I don't wish to further jack this either but want to make it clear, that speaking for myself only I can say that I was invited on board as an arts blogger and that I am there 100% voluntarily. There have been no exclusivity restrictions imposed on my writing by Huffington Post.

Well, since you didn't want to go offline: http://www.theatlanticwir...uit/36583/

Sorry but anyone who values the middle class, progressive politics, free press and a fair and just society should be boycotting that site. This fight is just starting...don't get caught on the wrong side of the arguement.

I didn't say I didn't want to go offline.

I didn't even mention Huffpost. I just mentioned I was doing an interview as part of the discussion of the thread. You made a big statement then wanted to take it offline. So I simply wanted to be clear, in response to that statement, as to what my personal experience with Huffpost has been. Since I was invited and have blogged voluntarily without ever being promised or even offered the possibility of anything beyond that, I don't feel like I've been robbed of anything. Would I like a piece of that purchase money, sure, who wouldn't? But since I was never given the impression of anything remotely close to that, I don't feel I can complain.

I will use my blog there to open whatever doors it may for me to get my writing to other venues. I might not have had the access to write a lot of the pieces if I did not blog there. Will that shift and change as I become involved with other sites? I imagine (am hopeful) it will.

I won't be caught on any side of any argument because I am not arguing with anyone about any of this.

Contact them through their website with your request.

No, not just post something on the forum. Send an actual email requesting an interview, stating what it's for, etc. When I request one I send a link with samples of my other ones to give the artist I'm requesting an idea of my style. If it's for Youtube, you might want to include a link to your channel, for example.

That's just how I go about it.

Yeah, your not arguing but you are contributing to the unfortunate abuse of talent. Wether you admit it or not. And I am not telling you to do anything. I am just trying to appeal to your rational side and join a growing movement who is refusing to give service to a currupt organization. Abuse is abuse yet time and time again people are hesitent to condemn it at the start. One day you and many others will realize your complacency in this fight.

If I can't get you to agree with me--no sweat. Do what you want and I will do what I want. No hurt feelings. Doesn't mean I am not going to continue to urge writers and artist and politicos to boycott the site. Huffington Post is destroying good paying Labor jobs and any and all progressives should and will see that and stop supporting it. Dancing with the devil eventually comes back to bite you.

How did a thread about wanting to interview Wendy & Lisa turn into a discussion over the Huffington Post's labor practices? Gotta love the Org,

Cause it's a topic I am passionate about right now!

Sorry folks...as you all were.

Is there some kind of insidious negative internet virus affecting Org members this week on a bunch of threads?
