So why start 25 Records? After working in recording studios for a several years, recording some great songs, it became annoying that nobody ever got to hear them. A lot of the bands I was working with seemed to be really bad at promoting themselves. Thus a single was released, just as a one off project. Other bands then approached me, and slowly the one off project turned into an out of control monster.

i'm more sexy in real life, [if real life exsists] Who works for 25 Records? Today the label is run by myself [Mark] with a team of helpers. Various people such as Anna and Big [Gay] Al do things such as listen to the demos.

Whilst Maggie does some word processing on her rather old 386! Fortunately the office machines are a little faster! Angi is back in the USA, but is still on the case via the Internet.

Heidi is our latest member of the team and has been helping out with updating the web site as well as typing up reviews.

Whilst I'm supposed to be in control, I get all the nice jobs like cleaning the kitchen, being nice to the bank manager and answering the phone.

When you phone the office and no one answers, it's because we are working some where else, trying to earn the rent money. 25 Records just about breaks even, and none of us earn any money from the label. Apparently, our reward will be heaven, or was that Helen [yeah right . . .].

So who's your favourite? I often get asked if I only push my favourite bands on the label, after putting out tracks by over a 100 bands they all cant be my favourite. The answer is no, I will push one band here and another band there, but this is because I think the subject of the pushing would like that particular band.

So can I make a band famous? Well if "the big five" [opps "the big four" will be the big three after the end of October] record companies can't always break a band, what chance has a smaller label. Everybody was a nobody once. Once our first band breaks through, there will be lots more following on, very quickly behind!

Valentine Jokes
Marriages are made in heaven. But so again, are thunder and lightning.

If you want your wife to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.

Marriage is grand -- and divorce is at least 100 grand.

Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.

When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: either the car is new or the wife.

A couple came upon a wishing well. The wife leaned over, made a wish and threw in a penny. The husband decided to make a wish, too But he leaned over too much, fell into the well, and drowned. The wife was stunned for a moment but then smiled, "It really works!"

Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you say. After marriage, he will fall asleep before you finish.

Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, understanding, economical, and a good cook. But the law allows only one wife.

I recently read that love is entirely a matter of chemistry. That must be why my wife treats me like toxic waste.

A man is incomplete until he is married. After that, he is finished..

Marriage is when a man and woman become as one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
