Dear listeners, friends and fellow pop purists:
No doubt about it, we are living in difficult times. Unemployment is high, morale is low and savings accounts even lower. Everyday it seems another trusted social and economic pillar crumbles right in front of our eyes. Its in times like these that we need music more than ever. We must find refuge in rock, salvation in soul, peace in pop and even normalcy in new wave. And its clear that P&C is just the multinational conglomerate to do it. We here at P&C laboratories can hardly contain our excitement. We start a new month, and a new season with exciting news: the merger of two of musical broadcasting's greatest enterprises, P&C and E&L. Which at first glance might spell PCEL but I'd like to think it spells SUCCESS. This merger has been in the works for some time, with high-level negotiations going on daily in our Zurich mountaintop office. After much consideration and examination, I wholeheartedly welcome the newest addition to P&C, Miss Gina Zee Esq. Her pop credentials are of the highest quality and her rock and roll expertise spans great musical expanses ranging from The Velvet Underground to Wesley Willis. I have nothing but great things to say about the honorable Miss. Zee and I think you all will find her musical tastes to be a fresh and welcome addition to the P&C pop canon.
AND NOW A MESSAGE FROM OUR NEW P&C CO-CONTRIBUTOR Ms. G. Zee, Esq.
Since the dawn of the new millennium, Pop and Circumstance has been one of the leading enterprises in the dissemination of good tunes and good times to an audience of renowned celebrities, average Joes, and everyone in between. A dynamic and leading force in the industry, P&C always strives to create an experience for the listener that is at once invigorating, educational, and therapeutic. In an effort to continue ensuring that today's pop consumer has access to top-tier audio artifacts, P&C Global Conglomerates has acquired boutique music scavenging outfit Electricity and Lust Industries. E&L is a visionary corporation that has shared P&C's goal of bringing all things good-sounding to the ears of people the world over since E&L founder G. Zee and P&C CEO Dr. M. Hotpants collaborated during their days at broadcasting giant KDVS and nights in Suite 213 at the legendary House of Flowers.
As E&L's founder, it is my pleasure to bring you this exciting news. I look forward to working closely with Dr. Hotpants on this endeavor, and I am confident that the results will be both titillating and enlightening. To celebrate this alliance, I give you my first offering as part of the P&C family: a collection of songs featuring people singing together.
Ms. G. Zee, Esq.
