Why we chose:
Terry Lynn – What isn’t there to say about Terry Lynn? She’s been around the music scene for decades, and always helps out where she can. For several years she hosted an open mic night, and even though she bounces from venue to venue she always pulls through with one of the most successful open mics in all of South West Florida. It is an honor to be able to return the favor to her and place one of her songs in our show. I chose to showcase her music, because she spends so much of her time showcasing others’ music.
Day – Thank you for the most well put together press kit I’ve ever been handed in well over 10 years of working in media. This puppy came with 2 cds, 1 single promo song, 2 8×10 glossy photos, a 2 page bio write up, credentials from some who’s who of independent music, and a logo embossed bright orange folder. Their music backs their presentation as well. Corey, thank you for running out to your car at 2 in the morning to get me the kit.
In Violent Sleep – Raquel’s music rocks. This song was the random cookie found when going through the artist submission forms online. I think she might be local to David or myself, and I’ll have to keep an eye out for her band playing in a town near me. Do yourself a favor and keep an eye out for her band playing in a town near you too.
Mr. Bella – Sometimes I get confused if we state why we choose the featured artist that we choose or not. I’m going to get in the habit of telling you, because if you just spent an hour listening to the episode to catch them, you deserve to know. And in Tampa, the band that promotes the hardest award goes to, Mr. Bella. Easy enough on why we’d choose them, they work their ass off promoting themselves. We are just here to help.
Noted Links (Bizarrely loaded edition):
Earth Stood Still – Listener Question & August 4th Cd Release
We couldn’t get an Earth Stood Still song into this episode, since it didn’t fit the motif, but we were able to get them to ask David a question. Why let them stand out in this way? Simple, they have a new Cd that came out last week. Go to their website and give some of the music a listen. If you do that for me, then in a month from now when I say brand new music from Earth Stood Still, you’ll say, “It’s not new, I heard that last month.”
Episode Roundup
As a follow up to Elysium’s interview, David recommends listening to MC Lars‘ track HotTopic is not Punk Rock
