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?

is everyone at Texas gigs a lush?

yeah he went insane what with all the cocaine he's done over the years

i'm terribly un satisfied with the entire list. I voted for Fishboy more times than I can remember...

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.

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.

word on the street is i'll be back june 23rd

rumors I tell ya, but possibly verifiable

we can make smores

crap

i guess I'm gonna have to handcuff myself to a building...AGAIN!

everytime you say "ok, this is the last time" as rubber bullets pound your rib cage and clouds of mace waft into your eyes, but everytime you just lie to yourself...

1. I don't know...singular girl?
2. I don't know...Satellite RideS?
3. I don't know...yo momma

so faris really is crazy... those myspace messages make sense

all this damn Euro-crap tour but no tour in the states!

bastards...

yeah dude, your guys air blows, hard. but your streets are remarkably clean...you should see Boston, I was knee deep in trash once...and this time I didn't fall into a dumpster.

i'm still pissed I got shafted on best radio show...

if you go to the beta entertainment corporation's website you can see their "packages" they have including $1500 for a 3 song demo and $50,000 for a 10 song CD. I don't see any info on who pays for that. I assume the label fronts the money and then you recoup the losses as the artist. Local bands shelling out 50k for a 10 track CD? Bogus. BOGUS. You don't drop 50k until you know you can make it back, that's a big freakin' investment. Plus the $1800 more for the "marketing super star package" Also, "CD & DVD Duplication" sounds sketchy, no immediate listing on numbers, plus the word duplication implies use of a duplicator instead of a press. I can run a better record label out of my basement but I sure as s* won't trick anybody into joining with some fancy contest and a paltry $5000 advance. But I'm what some would call an idealist.

my roomate used to take shots of concentrated instant coffee before class. it wasn't so much the coffee that woke him up but rather the intense blast of "flavor" hitting his system.

Later that year he failed out of college...

feel good ending...

the mavericks?

psssshhh

I quit...

wanna record deal? doesn't wanna equate to "want to" not "want a" ?

just a thought...

yes but If I blog it, more people will see it, and more people can know that BS is afoot.
