It has been thirty days and I am starting to wonder if I got lost in the shuffle. Has anyone got forward or returns for this Dispatch listing?

DARK and OMINOUS ELECTRONIC INSTRUMENTALS are needed by the Owner of a Music Library who’s working with some of the coolest shows on TV. This guy’s been seriously digging the tunes we’ve been sending his way! So, let’s deliver some more great music! He’s specifically asked us for dark and suspenseful Instrumentals that will create a chilling atmosphere of fear. He wants the kind of tension that will make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Please don’t send any tracks that are loud and abrasive. He wants to hear creepy melodies with interesting beats that will remain unobtrusive when played with picture. It will be best to give a vibe of slow building, brooding tension, rather than sudden or jarring outbursts. It’s not about the quick shock value. It’s more about the overall mood of the Instrumental. Think: You’re a cop, close on the heels of a brutal killer. The chase has led you to an abandoned warehouse. You’re out of radio contact and off the grid, but you must pursue. You’re walking down a long dark hallway, where there’s a closed door at the very end. There’s no other way out. Your flashlight’s wet and the little light it casts before you is now flickering. The sound of your breath is almost defining, yet you continue moving, slowly, and reluctantly toward the door. You brush away some cob webs that are scattered from the ceiling, and as your hand reaches for the doorknob… Well, you get the picture. He wants instrumentals that will elevate the tension and thicken the vibe. Tracks with well mapped out pacing, dark beats and a subtle, but tension-filled build will really help you to close this deal on this pitch. Down-To-Mid Tempo Instrumental tracks only, please. All Instrumentals need to be at least 60 seconds long. This company offers an exclusive 50/50 deal. You’ll keep 100% of your writer’s share, and they’ll retain 100% of the publishing. You must own or control 100% of your master and composition for this pitch. Broadcast quality is needed (excellent home recordings are fine). All submissions will be screened on a Yes/No basis. No full critiques. Please submit one to three instrumentals online or per CD no later than Monday, November 4th, 2013 by 2pm (PDT). TAXI #D131104EI

off-subject, for a "congrats"...
for making the front-page news of the Taxi report/email news.
Way to go!
(okay...resume regular broadcast...)

Thanks Peter. Not sure that my news was front page worthy, but I do appreciate the nod. Merry Christmas!
