“I am a Tennman / Interscope Records Artist!!! (Take deep breaths, Mom. You’re screaming.) That’s right! Today, I officially got full-fledged distribution for my album with Interscope Records!

Ah, that’s more like it. Evidently, it gives Mr. Morris — featured in a Q&A earlier this week on Advocate.com — great joy to yank our chain. (Nice work, BTW.) But really, who didn’t see this coming? Evidently, Jimmy Iovine, who’s been in the business long enough and knows when he’s got something special on his hands, had the same reaction that we did when we saw Morris last month at the Bluebird.
