I always wondered what A&R stood for...

That guy's kind of an asshole, ain't he?

I'm not exactly a Total Raleigh Insider, but my recollection is that
blackgirls was over well before Dish started, and that the so-called
Raleigh scenesters or whatever loved both Dish & Motocaster. I don't
recall this supposed "you changed your sound" backlash.

And only a superficial listened-to-the-first-30-seconds A&R dickwad
would think the Dish stuff just sounded like Tori Amos. The Dish CD is
probably one of the 20 best releases to come out of NC in the 1990s; I
don't know if I'd put the Motocaster full-length on that list or not
(it'd be up in the top-50, at least). It was nice of Interscope to put
it out, anyway. I guess that was back before NPR had really embraced
"new music" to the extent that they have nowadays, or else Dish would've
been huge. I guess they would've had to play Lilith Fair or something.

I still like that Motorolla single, though.
