How do I...

i can DEFINITELY get your songs played on the radio. it'll be a&a radio, and only rory and andyhix will hear it, but whatever, beggars can't be choosers.

I'm already on A&A radio, and really, it's pretty gay. Any radio station that will play nakatira's shit band isn't credible.
 
I've had a few tracks played on Community radio & had invitations to do an interview as well. I've not done the interview because I'm a bit shy & only 1/2 of the writing team.
I was asked if the station could have permission to play my songs - they were going to play the MP3s.
I said yes but asked if I could send them a CD instead to up the quality - a few other tracks were played as a result of the CD being with the station.
I have to admit, though, that the initial contact came from the DJ cruising mspace for music/performers that had tagged themselves with our city (Wollongong).
From there he made contact etc etc.
I don't spend any energy on the page - I set it up with a bio, links to soundclick & ytube for vids & every so often change the songs. Essentially it keeps itself.
I also cobbled together a few simple vids & popped them on ytub with links to soundclick & mspace as well as imbedding the soundclick player to override the inbuilt dud.
last December - because I was bored & couldn't develop the songs I had any further - I used google to bung together a blog that has a combo of all the things from ytub & mspace. I update it each time I have a new song/vid or when I've come across an album from HR which I like. - I'll write a rant with links to the distributor, seller, performer etc & bung it up there. It's linked into capt crawl which means people doing searches & hunting download blogs for music will have it appear in searches based on the tags I put in for each new rant.
Each of the above took a couple of hours to set up & less than an hour each time I decide to add something/update.
I'm not looking for money, love or fame but like the idea that someone, one day, will come across one of my songs & like it.
The links to each of these things are in my signature section.
The only one that causes me trouble is soundclick - to which I've not been able to successfully upload for over a month.
Oh, our national radio broadcaster (JJJ) has a website for unsigned bands to post music - they automatically enter many of them into competitions etc - prises being opening for national tours in local venue etc etc.

Besides the fact that you might make 6 bucks on a good day?

You're an idiot if you think playing music will get you anywhere.
 
While we're discussing this...can someone tell me how to get lots of hits on my web site about my cat? My cat is very cute, and I want lots of people to come to my site. Oh, and I don't want to be on Google, I just want people to see my cat.
