Phish in Relix (Again)

April 27, 2009

I remember reading the Phish issue of Relix when the band broke-up and I remember thinking that everything, indeed, seemed so final.

There’s a great post up on the Big Method blog regarding the fact that PR companies regularly struggle with (and fail miserably) at communicating effectively with music bloggers. It’s something I’ve experienced first hand on both sides of the equation, and I can really see both arguments to why PR companies need to get [...]
