As announced in the L-Soft newsletter<http://www.lsoft.com/news/issue5-2010-us.asp>, we have just released part 1 of a techno-romantic musical about e-mail and the Internet. The hero, Permission Man, sets out to war, firmly intent on burning all spam on a "pyre of joy" and returning his beloved's inbox to the "purest sweetness" of a spam-free world. Caught between his longings for love and battle, the tormented hero cries out his soul to the tune of Celeste Aida.

When I agreed to perform one of opera's most difficult arias and allow myself to be recorded, I had no idea how much more difficult it would be in English! Although I could adjust the new lyrics, challenging words like 'subscriber' or 'double opt-in' had to be in the text whether I could sing them or not. As a compromise, I was allowed to sing the very difficult finale in the original language (with subtitles and translation), and it felt like a walk in the park in comparison :) I have uploaded another video (also with subtitles and translation) where I sing the famous drinking song and dance from La Traviata so that you can hear my voice in a language I am more comfortable with.
