"Life in a Flash", the new single from Eightfold Path's "timeandplace" EP, is in the hands of Sloppy Joe and 92 KSJO, the San Francisco Bay Area's biggest rock radio station. For the song to climb the local charts (which creates a local buzz...which gets label attention....which helps some poor starving garage bands get big, fat, juicy record contracts), we need all of you to e-mail Sloppy Joe and request us on Homegrown, airing Sunday nights at 11:30pm. Please drop him a line at: sloppy@ksjo.com
