Things you should know about Coolfer.com:

Peoples tries to read every email he gets, but...business school is demanding, and there are times when he won't be able to read and/or respond to your emails.

Coolfer.com does not review albums or concerts. If there is an interesting business-related aspect to a new release, Coolfer.com will try to mention it.

Should you mail promos to Coolfer.com? You won't get an album review, but Peoples wants to keep up with what's going on in the music world. Snail mails and emails are welcome.
