RE: Criminally Underappreciated Albums
O.K., just the other day I saw a reference to the original Clem Snide, i.e. where the band got its name, but now I can't remember what it was. Help! I'm coming off of a 10-day pledge drive -- my longest night of sleep was 7 hours and that was only because I slept through my 4 a.m. alarm -- so I am BRAIN DEAD!

Rufus Wainwright
I'd say that Rufus Wainwright's debut has only sold 35,000 copies so far because it doesn't sound like anything else on the market right now. We filed the cd in rock at Vintage Vinyl but I'd be hard pressed to name an album that rocks less. Folk/Country/Americana is clearly the wrong place, though, if he were filed with the McGarrigles a few people would stumble across him. I thought about putting him in Pop Vocals but I don't think people looking for Rufus are going to look for him along side Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennet. KDHX has Rufus filed as rock, as well, a decision made before I started, by the way. How'd Dreamworks manage to spend a million bucks on making Rufus' album? What was Van Dyke Park's fee?

SXSW wristbands
Hello, Austinites! I am coming down for SXSW and I have my badge and a hotel room so I'm hooked up. However, I just got a call from someone I work with who has decided to travel down with a band but needs a wristband. How much are they this year? Are they still available? Does anyone want to be the middleman in this deal? Last year, 3 of us went down and bought wristbands the first day of S Tony Renner music director KDHX St. Louis Community Radio 3504 Magnolia Avenue St. Louis, MO 63118 314 664-3955 314 664-1020 fax
SXSW Wristbands
Hello, Austinites! I have some friends asking about the current availability of SXSW wristbands. Are they still on sale? How much? Does anyone want to be the middleman on a wristband purchase? I have my registration, etc., already so I'm set. Last year we had no trouble in picking up wristbands at Waterloo (and on the 2nd on 3rd days we saw plenty of flyers from people trying to get rid of wristbands). Anyway, any help would be most appreciated! Thanks. Tony Renner music director KDHX St. Louis Community Radio 3504 Magnolia Avenue St. Louis, MO 63118 314 664-3955 314 664-1020 fax
