For once, Google Alerts actually did something useful! I have Google Alerts set to notify me if any of my sound/art projects are mentioned anywhere. Most of the time it's just garbage (do you have any idea how many times the phrase "six heads" appears in news stories and the like? A LOT, that's how many).
