[Feedback] Found you guys on StumbleUpon, want to help!

[Andrew Wise]

Nikolaj,

Thanks for the great introduction -- this is definitely something we'd  
be interested in working on together.

Also, of note, Magnatune was one of first licensed labels, and they've  
been great to work with !

We've got a couple meetings this week and we're going to discuss  
working with you guys and what we can do together.

Kind regards,

Andrew Wise
