you know, I love the Black Tie Dynasty but the last I heard from them was the Bloody Basin split with [Daryl] and man...that was a weak show... But maybe they have a new album that I should find?

On A Winning Listen and a Few Extra Pics

on a serious note (a first for me here at texasgigs) I support your concept, I have always believed that a popular movement is the surest path to change, but I have to agree with Cindy. So long as fat cats at Clear Channel, Infinity, Entercom, and CBS radio own well over half of the radio stations in the country (and more than 80% of the high-watt towers) attempting to effect change through the medium of radio is a task I don't think we can accomplish without surgical strikes on key party members. Local artists sell 10,000 records, national artists sell 10 million, who stands to get the most listeners and therefore the most advertising money? And if you wanna jockey for position on the lower end of the dial, forget it, most people don't turn the dial that far (I should know I hang out at 88.1 FM) and again the sole purpose of having a station at a dial that low is because they don't have the resources to get a high-watt tower so they need a frequency that can travel on 100 watts, so, they still aren't going to get heard. I think also we should sit and wait to see what digital radio does, promises of less advertising and such makes it seem like radio may not go quietly into that good night. I will however disagree with Cindy's suggestion of trying to break into Clear Channel's playlists. Yes go talk to Venable, and whatever guys are already spinning tracks, but personally I say forget CCC and their money grubbing. We need an alternative, and when I don't have 4 final exams on my plate, I'll pitch one.

On Radio Request Day

I would just like to note that my show is on Wednesdays at 6pm EST and I play local artists, in fact, DFW bands make up like 60% of my show easily with a smattering of East Texas and Austin bands as well as like...two bands from El Paso, one of them is At the Drive In...on El Paso...livin' on a man made line.
