"Podpeople", "Brush Against Me", "Dirty Work", "Going Back To Vegas" and "Perfect" were all featured this past week on some of the biggest and best shows out there.

"The thing I like so much about [munk] is there really is no pigeon-holing this guy... I love that. I love that he has not had to give in to the corporate machine that says you can only create one kind of music and fit into a corporatized mold of what people expect you to sound like. He's free to create and be creative. That's what I believe this new phase of the music business is all about."
