Everyone has their own preferences, I'd love to see Taxi listings trimmed down a bit to look more like this:
DESCRIPTION: Heartfelt Adult Contemporary Songs w/<ale vocals
TARGET: Major Record Label for Multi-Platinum, Chart-topping Superstar that's looking for great songs for his next album.

TAXI ADVICE: Please submit well-crafted songs with meaningful lyrics, a great melody, and a big chorus that sounds like it's ready for radio.
Please avoid overly moody or dated sounding songs for this one. The more uplifting and inspirational the better!

Good suggestion there Paul (and others) on the formatting. Not sure what the challenges are for Taxi as far as making the changes. Some may be a throwback to the day of printed material, whereby print space mattered. I can live very well with things as they are now (by copying/pasting), but more of a "form" style someday would be cool. 8-)

One thing you left out:
Should Casey Submit?: Y/N
:lol:

Best

Well Paulie,
It looks like you got your wish on formatting. Good job!
It seems like the layout you suggested is gradually replacing the old one
and does help with cut/pasting into Google.
Also, direct links on daily mailshots is great.
Well done guys!
