1999 Edges from the Postcard2: Call For Submissions!
We're officially extending the deadline for this (but not for much longer!) so if you're new to the Postcard2 mailing list or you figured this deal was past due, well...send us your songs! Last year's "EDGES FROM THE POSTCARD 2" featured unreleased material 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

Re: 1999 Edges from the Postcard2: Call For Submissions!
Dear Edges guy: May I ask for a clarification and some advice? The submission from Scrimshanders was recently rejected from this compilation, yet the deadline for submissions has been extended. I was kind of surprised to see that. I can only take this to mean that a certain bar was set for the level of the material to even be considered, and our work didn't pass muster . . . it was placed in a "definitely won't make it!" pile. You must have had to extend the deadline because the "good enough" pile was a few beers short of a six pack. I can understand. While we Scrimshanders are nowhere near a Fulks, Ireland, Wooden Leg, Five Chinese Bros, One Riot One Ranger, et. al., we're pretty proud of and serious about what we do. In the hopes of improving ourselves, we ask: why didn't we make it? Do the songs blow, was the performance too shoddy, is the demo-quality recording not good enough, or some combination of the above? Had we sent a picture, I would completely understand rejection based on the hairstyle of our lead guitar player, but you've never seen him. Thanks for your time.
