makes you wonder if this is an independent PR person, someone at an agency, in-house, or maybe someone at a company that has zero PR background?

There's nothing sad about keeping it small, so long as you're happy, right?

You think I'm Pitchfork or Rolling Stone here?? I could probably grab a beer with any one of my readers. And sadly I really like it that way.

There's a LOT that doesn't reach that far up…

Exactly! It's not that difficult, and it sets you so far apart from your competition.

BTW, I originally read the beginning of your comment, “with my mom, and pop-music blog.” I was confused.

Even with my mom and pop music blog (that barely ever reviews new artists) I still get a ton of awful emails from music PR firms (with comcast or hotmail accounts). You can tell they were just blasted out with 'fill in name of site here' then hit send.

But the other day I got one from an artist in Berlin who started with the same method as everyone else, yet took one tiny different approach that made all the difference in the world. He commented about a specific post on my blog. What a shocking notion. He did his homework and didn't make it all about himself.

Moral of the story? I listened. I loved. He get a quick response. And look for a very cool piece on my mom and pop blog about Jim Kroft coming soon

The unfortunate thing is, you know how bad your agent is, but do the people that hired (and pays) them? It seems agents bad performance — the genesis of your cringing — doesn't reach that far up.

In life, I've learned to ignore people addressing me as Gordon – close enough, I guess. But Robert? Someone copy and pasted without thinking.

I just don't understand why anyone would make that awful mistake about names. People adding an 'e' to Jasmin is enough for me to hit the delete button!
