    Payola Anyone? -- Shake That Laffy Taffy!!

    I certainly agree that getting consistent play on a clear channel station is good exposure. There is a difference, however, between "clear channel airplay in a major market" and "we've been played on a clear channel station before." If you're getting a consistent spin even once in a while, it...

    Ways to get gigs?

    Do you mean throwing a show yourself at a rented hall, or a similar sort of thing?

    Payola Anyone? -- Shake That Laffy Taffy!!

    Don't take this as me talking shit at all, but it really doesn't mean much without knowing the frequency of your rotation, and the format of the show you were played on. I first learned of a favorite song and artist on a clearchannel station - Radio 104.1 modern rock, Hartford CT - during the...

    Midphase hosting - avoid them

    Amen. Let all who look on the fate of the poor despondent Pinky learn from his misfortune. Go to Staples and spend $9.95 on a plastic filing cabinet. :D

    Is it pointless to start promoting our our band without our CD?

    Good idea. My plan of attack would be: 1. Figure out who you're going to contact. Zines, venues, etc. 2. You might wanna throw up posters like "Look for the debut album from JOJO AND THE MUPPET KILLERS available this December." A few prior to release. 3. If the list is huge, start calling...

    To flash or not to flash!!! Web help please

    Agreed. An entire flash site can be obnoxious unless its done very well. HTML site, flash tour. Best of both worlds.

    Stifled creativity. Inspiration. I feel like dying.

    Amen to inspiring live shows! Seeing other artists perform is an absolute creative catalyst.

    Stifled creativity. Inspiration. I feel like dying.

    Acid, this and your later post were both insightful good advice, from someone in a similar situation. It's positive and helpful, exactly what this forum should be about.

    Stifled creativity. Inspiration. I feel like dying.

    I'd have to agree. Journaling certainly keeps your mind in the game, generates ideas on top of ideas, gets you in the mood to write, etc. You might find that your depressing lack of inspiration yields an incredible amount of inspiration, odd as it sounds.

    Stifled creativity. Inspiration. I feel like dying.

    Honestly, I must admit that this thread has become much too harsh. Yes, a $50K/year job is a great success fresh out of college, even more so at 19. I'll have a master's and won't make that much. Quite frankly though, I pity anyone who finished their college experience at 19. Take a step back...

    Parental Advisory labels

    I'm not positive that one really "needs" parental advisory stickers. I'm under the impression that record labels throw them on as a consolation prize to Tipper Gore.

    Any One Know About Shooting A Video?

    Once I used a mac and (insert software name here) for a school project. It was honestly the most painless and easy process I can imagine. I don't know how easy it would be to sync the recorded song to video tho. :( In any event good luck

    New Website Up . . .

    Agreed re: the banner Songs sound good recording wise. Good vox. Rock. the "back" button looks odd - note that I'm using firefox - as do some of your section borders. They don't quite line up right. All around good!

    Jesse Malin - Wendy

    I am certainly not an indie music snob. I was simply stating that Jesse Malin is not mainstream enough for Walmart to stock.

    Jesse Malin - Wendy

    Odd, but glorious! It doesn't surprise me that walmart doesn't carry him. They carry very little of worth in the first place. He's much too indie.
