Re: Radio/media for tour/record promotion?
In a message dated 99-03-10 10:12:41 EST, you write: My band is setting up a very short tour up the Mississippi corridor from Austin to launch the record that we'll be finishing any day now. We'd like to have (gasp!) people at the shows, even though we don't get out of Austin too much, so we're trying to find media outlets that we can barrage with hookers and blow. I'm thinking radio appearances, reviews of the record, in-stores, mentions in "recommended" lists, etc. I'd start out getting my hands on a copy of Musician Magazine's Guide To Touring And Promotion. It's not everything but I have found it to be extremely helpful. Stacey's Hellcountry website also has some good leads, a lot of it is New England based, but not all of it, and it can give you ideas. Good luck! Elena Skye

Good luck, Alex. Not all of us over here are for *any* bombing, so take care, and know that we're pulling for you.

Alex,Sure hope that whatever happens you and your people will be OK. As Matt says, the way Americans think and the way our government acts can be very different. Usually it's been pretty faceless when the use of force is threatened, and used. We *are* pulling for you. b.s.

Re: Radio M show about No depression music
Hey there, Linda post scripts... np. The Mary Janes. All of you must get this record. Must. Except for Jon who can sell his back if he wants. I can't remember ever being so bowled over by a first record. I must say the first time I saw the band, maybe 3 years ago, now, at Schubas, they were a mess. Um, I saw em at Schuba's 3 months ago (w/ Jim Roll and The Damnations TX) and although they werent a mess, there were not above average. Later... CK It's a common failing of the listening public that they listen to old Rhythm and Blues records and miss the fact that this is folk music.

The second song you saw, which was the last in their set, was an a' capella ballad--which doesn't work for Ryan Adams, either. It was a bad idea. Well, now let's both be fair. I saw four, they were as audible at the bar as they were a few feet from it, and as Chris says, they were about the same at the Jim Roll/Damnations TX show. I loved their entire show, but the record is much much better. Give it a chance. For free, sure. For money, no. Bob

I can't believe they're this much better on CD than in person. They did an OK set opening for Robbie Fulks this past weekend -- I liked the lead singer better than Tracy, who as I remember was pretty underwhelmed by them in general. 'Course, I haven't been listening to them for three years, so I don't know how much they've improved. But just walking into their set the other night, I didn't feel interested in spending money on 'em. I wouldn't avoid them as an opening act, but I wouldn't see them as a headliner, and I wouldn't buy the CD. Bob
