Hm...

Hi Mr. Savage: This is Kerim from Foot Patrol. We're the world's only foot fetish funk band. We're from Austin and we're coming to New York in early August: the 5th at Goodbye Blue Monday in Bushwick, 7th at Union Pool in Willimsburg, and the 8th at Highline Ballroom. I'm writing to see if you might be able to get us some kind of press that might attract the foot fetish community in NY. Our lead guy is blind and an amazing musician, so we're not just a novelty act. Let me know if you think you could help us. Thank you!

I didn't know that a blind lead singer—he's the one with the foot fetish, according to the band's website—was proof that a band wasn't a novelty act. Live and learn. I can't judge their music, though, because all of it was produced after 1970 and they don't write showtunes. Anyone?
