There's some good news and some more good news. The good news is that we have the winning spots and promos from the Firsty Awards on this month's Cassette. The other good news is that the response for tapes for this month's Cassette looks like our best yet; however, since the Cassette is mostly Firsty winners, your tapes will be held for the September Cassette. So, if you sent in a tape last month, no need to submit another one this month. If you didn't, you have a few more weeks to get one in for the September Cassette.
Side one features work from Joel Moss, subject of this month's interview, followed by the Firsty promo winners. Side two features the commercial winners. In the Commercial Campaign category, we used only one of several of the spots submitted for the award. Finally, on this side, is a sample of the Brainspeak sounds from FirstCom's Maximum Impact library.
