ReplyDeletenice one, too bad its only 128 kb.....but still enough for the car. thank you.
ReplyDeleteEvery month with the new truesound samp. is a good month. thanks a lot for your fantastic work. i like them all
ReplyDeletehutch, I will check that show out. Are you the one who turned me onto them...if so thanks man
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone else too for the kind words and stopping by
Anonymous....I always do the mixes at 128 partly to ease my own conscience
To be honest, I wish the mixes were at a higher bit-rate (some were,no?) but I understand what you're saying. Although, compilation CDs are given away FREE all the time with magazines and at record stores to promote sales of many of these same artists (okay, not many but SOME). I do think that a number of these performers have to be grateful to you for the exposure.
ReplyDeleteWith NO DERESSION magazine going bye-bye and HARP magazine calling it quits, a blog like yours has become a more valuable resourse for getting the "good word out" about folks that just don't have the budget to call attention to themselves. For instance: I work in the marketing/PR business of music and a 1/3 page color advertisment in PASTE magazine costs, roughly, $2,400 and to try and get a song on their compilation CD costs another $2000-some bucks (yeah, I used to think the editors picked those songs and put out those CDs out of the kindness of their hearts too...). Both HARP and NO DEPRESSION were somewhat cheaper, by the way.
That said, you taking one or two songs and giving notice to an artist (that has no or little money) out of the KINDNESS OF YOUR HEART is a good thing and it's nothing to feel guilty about. I would not have become a fan of Wrinkle Neck Mules so quickly (or ever) if it weren't for you and I have PURCHASED both of their CDs because of you.
Thank you.
hey man- yeah, i recommended Jungers to a while back, last year i think. i figured you'd like it. thanks for great mixes and random stuff you put up.
ReplyDeleteI'm away for a little while and you post reams of new material! I'll be downloading it all over the next few days, natch. Thanks much.
ReplyDeleteMan, where's my april truer sounds comp? :)
