Sweeteners are gladly accepted with no guarantees

And finally, here’s an addition to our freebie corner hall of fame.

This week’s column has been written with a gobful of Fox’s Glacier Fruits. Thanks to our friends at SiebertHead for their thoughtfulness.

They join the good people of Green & Blacks, who sent us oodles of choccy last month.

Our news values are, of course, impervious to such sweeteners. But they sure make the day after press day taste better. By the way, if anyone’s sending us album cover design work, don’t forget to include a copy of the CD. Cheers.
