NOTE:If this is your first time coming to the Asian Man newsletter and are wondering what the heck this newsletter is??? Well, it's just my place to rant about anything, so for real news, etc.., please email:miya@asianmanrecords.com and just request to be added to the mailing list and you will be sent news that actually pertains to the bands we work with.

Is it finally over?? Actually, there's 2 hours and 24 minutes remaining. So technically it's still X-mas, but thankfully the pains of the X-mas season are over. You see, the Asian Man Records humble garage only gets crazy busy one time a year and that's X-mas. We shipped exactly 1,387 packages from the day after Thanksgiving up til' December 24th. A big thank you goes out to our intern Mark who has turned out to be an amazing help.

With more cookies and candy being shoved in my face than ever before, I'm ready for a detox session. The unfortunate reality that I love cookies is an incredibly difficult obstacle for me during the holidays. Why is it that everyone bakes this time of year? I'm battling 3 different types of cookies right now and 4 unopened boxes of chocolates. Hmmmmmm... What to do. I can feel my waste line tightening as I type this. UGGGHHHH....

Next week is new years eve and then two thousand and friggin five starts. 2005 2005 2005 That looks so strange. Can it really be 2005 already? Anyways, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I'll be touring non-stop this next year, so hopefully I'll keep meeting amazing new friends. Have a wonderful new year.
Peace always,
Mike Park
