We've officially extended the deadline for this so if you're new
to P2 or you figured this deal was past due, well...send us
something! Last year's "EDGES FROM THE POSTCARD 2" featured unreleased
tracks by Robbie Fulks, Kimmie Rhodes, Mike Ireland & Holler, Wooden Leg,
Five Chinese Brothers, The Meat Purveyors, One Riot One Ranger, Bill Lloyd
and Elena Skye among many others, and we're looking for this volume of
EDGES to be just as unique. So regardless of whether you're a seasoned pro
or a ready-to-go newer act, get us your stuff!--Your Twang Gang
---------- Forwarded message ----------
Even while the wildly-acclaimed "Edges From the Postcard2" still continues to
grace the CD changers of the urban hip intelligentsia and sexy librarian types,
it's time to issue the call to you music makers out there to send us your
nocturnal (and diurnal, for that matter) emissions for consideration for the
1999 version of Edges. In other words, send us your songs!
Of course, we've got some ground rules here, mainly to help the selection
committee maintain the shred of sanity they have left. So here they are:
(1) We're asking for original, previously unreleased material. If you submit
a cover tune, it will probably be passed over unless its sheer genius causes
the selection committee to have simultaneous orgasms. The tunes submitted may
be demo versions, but realize that you will need to have a well-recorded
version in our hands if we chose your song for the compilation.
(2) Since the Edges CD is first and foremost a reflection of the Postcard2
community, we ask that all submitting bands have at least *some* tenuous
connection to the list--in other words, either a band member or someone
connected with the band (manager, booking agent, bail bondsman) should
subscribe to P2.
(3) No more than four songs will be considered, so don't bother sending
more--they won't get listened to.
(4) We will need THREE (3) identical copies of the submitted tunes, in cassette
format only.
(5) Send these submissions, along with generous bribes, to:
Dave Purcell
720 Overton St.
Newport, KY 41071
Be sure to email Dave at [EMAIL PROTECTED] after you send the material so
that Mr. P can confirm that he got everything he was supposed to.
(6) If one of your songs is chosen for the CD, we'll eventually need a
professionally recorded DAT copy of it, so keep this in mind.
(7) All proceeds from the project will go toward the staging of Twangfest3 and
future Postcard2 projects. Honest. If you saw what kind of cars we drive, you
wouldn't even *ask* if we were skimming.
That's it! Last year's Postcard2 CD has done quite well, and we think
that this year's will do even better. To paraphrase what Tom Cruise said
to Cuba Gooding, Jr. in "Jerry McGuire": help us help *you*. Send us the
results of your talent, determination, and substance abuse today.
Love,
Your Twang Gang
