That's 'cause we only want "cool" people to visit our website. Not just any
Internet rabble!

But seriously, it seems to get harder and harder these days to get search
engines to pick you up. The de-democratizing of the 'net continues. Hell,
I'll bet you can still get Mystery Dates and The Rent Boys (my previous
bands) on the top 5 search engines (I haven't tried), since they were
submitted years ago when $$$ wasn't an (or as much of) an issue to them
"engineers."

So please, kind P2 web masters, link us to your sites -- we'll link to
you,too, we swear!

Np: The unreleased Radney Foster album ... in my head, at least (got to
hear two great cuts from it on Shane's show last night -- some enterprising
indie should pick that stuff up!).

I would also like to recommend the "surf.to" site for band with websites
but unable to afford a "personalized" domain name. It's worked pretty well
for us -- our website is actually hosted by geocities (which is free, of
course) but we've used "listen.to" as our re-direct so that we can have our
name in the url. It's much cooler (and easier) to promote that way, until
we can afford our own domain.

Check it out at

http://listen.to/

or

http://surf.to

our website is at

 Hey all you struggling band types without HTML skill, here's a little
heads
 up.
 There is a website at http://www.fyou.com and the guy who coordinates it
is
 Gabe [EMAIL PROTECTED].  Basically he's interested in putting up
 pages free of charge for independent bands, with audio clips...and for
some
 bands, having something on the web for free can be a very good thing.
 
 Just thought some folks might like to know, and Gabe encouraged me to
spread
 the word.  Now I haveg.
