Posted: 31 Aug 2010 05:27 PM PDT


Shannon Gaga is arguably the world’s #1 Lady Gaga fan. She lives, breathes, and would die 4 Lady Gaga [link]. In the past she has tried to dress like Lady Gaga, but utilized wig technology to make her hair look like Lady Gaga’s. Fortunately, after a breakthru at her local hair salon / bottle of bleach from her local grocery store, she was able to completely transform her hair in2 something more beautiful.

A Newspaper does in depth interview with ‘the guy who screens album submissions’ @ a radio station

Posted: 31 Aug 2010 02:15 PM PDT

Link: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2010/08/5-ways-to-get-your-music-played-on-kcrw.html


I am still kinda confused about ‘how important radio play’ is when it comes to the success of an unsigned band. I remember hearing stories about how bands would ‘get a single on the radio’, then they would get rich/become rock stars. Not sure if that romantic model still exists, or if blogs have replaced ‘independent radio stations’ as the official breeding ground of underground/independent music.

Do yall think blogs have replaced ‘indie’/'college’ radio?
Is radio ‘totally irrelevant’?
Will NPR ‘go under’, or is their business model going to be all about being a bloggy NYTimes gimmicky content producer?

N e ways, some blog newspaper did an article about ‘how to get ur band featured on a relevant radio station.’ They interviewed ‘the dude who listens to CDs that bands submit.’ He just dished out some tips, wanting to help buzzbands ‘get discovered’ by him.


Have yall met Eric K Lawry?
Does he seem like ‘a pretentious ass hole’?

Meet Eric J. Lawrence. If you’re a musician, he can be one of the most important people in your life.

Lawrence is in charge of one of the most critical avenues to an independent rock band’s success — getting your songs played on -FM (89.9).

As the music librarian at , his job is to dive into the hundreds of albums sent to the Santa Monica station every week and surface a handful of CDs to place on a row of compact wooden shelves in his library. And it is these shelves that the station’s 25 DJs and producers turn to to figure out what to play next.

Seems like a ‘high stakes’, make or break environment 4 the future of rock n roll.

Do yall know if this radio station is ‘legit’? Is it a ‘tastemaker’? Do u have a better chance of getting global fame if u get written about on Pitchfork, or should I just submit some CDs to local + college radio stations?

For indie bands, getting their music played on is a sign of success — and not just because of the estimated 375,000 people per week who listen to the station’s music programming, both online and over the air. That’s because the public radio station has a reputation for being a tastemaker, with its fingers on the pulse of independent music trends poised to be the next big thing. It’s one reason why music directors in Hollywood troll the station for new music to include in their television shows and movies.

As a result, the station gets anywhere from 200 to 400 unsolicited albums each week. Lawrence listens to every album and makes a record of whether it is added to the library or rejected. Of those, only 30 to 35 albums are chosen.

Here are his 5 tips for making sure he listens 2 ur shit.

1. Make it personal
2. get experienced
3. Make sure the songs are “Radio ready.”
4. Include relevant (and legible) information
5. Send a CD

Not sure if I own any blank CDs. Might hire a ‘manager’ to make sure we get written about on pitchfork + get played on the radio.

Worried that my lofi project might not be ‘produced’ well-enough for radio play. Wish I could make indie rock that was as ‘polished’ as the Arcade Fire, Spoon, and the Hold Steady.

Don’t send tunes that are recorded in a garage with an ambient mike from Best Buy, unless that’s part of the sound. “Audio quality is the key,” Lawrence said. “When we play our sets, the songs all have to flow together. If your song is thin and skeletal, it will sound underproduced next to the other songs around it that are more polished. It doesn’t have to be big or loud. It just has to have good audio quality.”

Just want to impress this bro. Get mad radio airplay. End up on a soundtrack. Release an album. Tour across the world. But it all starts with this bro. The gatekeeper 2 the buzz economy.

Is Radio Play ‘important’?
Do people who are ‘relevant tastemakers’ listen to the radio?
Is the radio inefficient as an mp3 evaluation service because u can’t ‘fast forward’ whenever a song starts 2 suck?
Have blogs ‘replaced radio’?
What will replace blogs as buzzband tastemakers/incubators?
Are blogs ‘the perfect format’ for niche bands to expand their audiences?
Do u think buzzbands ‘huddle around the radio’ to hear themselves the first time they are played on the radio?
Do u have any advice for a band who wants to submit their music to a blog? Should they send a CD? Should they send a link to their bandcamp/myspace?
Do u think radio stations are ‘bad for the environment’ cuz they have such a big carbon footprint?
Do u hope terrestrial radio ‘goes under’?
Do people still listen to radio?
If u were in a band, would u ‘even bother’ with ‘the radio’?
Is ‘radio play’ a sign of pseudo-success for bands that aren’t ‘connected/aware’ enough to realize that the ‘indie music scene’ is ‘taking place on the internet’?
Are buzzbands born on the internet, the radio, or in ‘relevant venues in a live setting’?
What is the best way for a band to ‘make it’?

Might just give that bro a call, and ‘demand to know’ why his ‘goddamn radio station’ hasn’t played my chillwave fuzzy buzz lofi sound project.

As a reward for reading this far, we have a bonus tip! You can always try to follow up with Lawrence either via e-mail or a phone call. His “office hours” are noon to 3 p.m. every Wednesday. Calls are cut off at 3 sharp, and the hold times might be insane. But if you get him on the phone, Lawrence can personally relay the status of your submission and perhaps why it did or did not make the cut. The number is (310) 314-4640

Laters, this bro

Best Coast drinks 2 much, blacks out, passes out on sidewalk, her bro tweets pix of it

Posted: 31 Aug 2010 11:04 AM PDT

Link: http://twitpic.com/2jlxh7


Best Coast is known for being ‘super in2 weed’, but it seems like she is ‘pulling an Alice Glass’ and going hard, partying til she drops, or ‘blacks out.’ It seems like she had a wild night out, spending it with a few fans from twitter and real life friends. After a few too many drinks, it seems as though she ended up on the sidewalk, unable to stand up, much less focus on her job as a buzzband.

Do u think she looks like she is posing in a sexy American Apparel advertisement?

Do u think her bro ‘exploited her’ by tweeting these pix just to ‘prove he rages hard with Best Coast’, or is do people from LA genuinely like 2 party til they drop?

Have u ever ‘got 2 drunk’ then woke up the next morning to find 100 tagged photos of urself on facebook where u were ‘blacked out’? Did u do anything zany, like ‘get naked’ or ‘get in2 a fight’? Have yall ever passed out in an alley after getting 2 drunk?

Oh Besty…
Hope ur okay
I know life as a buzzband can be difficult
but stay strong
4 the fans
hope this was a 1 time thing
and ur not trying to ‘escape’
be vulnerable with us
and don’t ‘turn 2 the bottle’
Use ur art to explore pain.

But if u do ‘hit the bottle’ hard
Make sure u make a bleep bloop electro core project
and roll around on stage
having spasms [via Alice Glass stage presence]

R u worried about Besty?
Is she ‘over’ dank?
What is better for u: drinking or smoking weedijuana?
Is Best Coast just ‘riding chillwaves with her bros’ and h8rs should ‘stop hating’?

Should Best Coast be ‘pissed at her bro’ for tweeting these pix, or does this help her brand, enabling her to look like she only cares abt partying/’having fun’?
Do u hope to see ‘blacked out’ pix of AnCo soon?
What is the drunkest u’ve ever been + what were the digital/real life consequences?

AZN Hipster falls asleep naked on the Tokyo subway/light rail

Posted: 31 Aug 2010 09:22 AM PDT


Sigh…
When will those hipsters ever learn
that it is unchill to be azn
and to fall asleep bare assed
on the subway
We’re just trying to get home
And ur here being an ‘effing freegan’
who doesn’t care abt society

Probably just got done
not just for food
but for penal lubricant
to help yourself ejaculate in a totally unique way

When r u going to learn that u r a ‘slave to rampant consumerism’
and that listening to bands like
MGMT
MGMT
MGMT
Vampire Weekend
Vampire Weekend
Vampire Weekend
is going to get you no where.

People aren’t looking at you because they want to be you
They don’t want to copy your look
They are laughing at you
They think you are a big effing joke
U r not an individual, nor r u a free spirit

This is
built for getting the public to and from different parts of our beautiful city.
And you just had 2 pull down ur pants
and take a lil nap.

Vibes are really harsh
Seems like ur just another unchill azn bro in some way or form
and I wish u’d just realize
that you’re just a 20-something
who needs to get his life 2gether.

R yall tired of effing hipsters being 2 alt to ‘follow rules’?
What’s the difference between a subway and a light rail?
Have yall ever slept nude in public?
Do u like his tight lil ass?

Katy Perry plays slutwave song on the TODAY show, ruins chill family vibes

Posted: 31 Aug 2010 06:02 AM PDT


From what I understand, the is a popular morning show that people who are unemployed or stay-at-home moms watch. Sorta like a blog in morning show format, featuring news, in depth interviews, recipes, healthy lifestyle tips, and even live musical performances by popular artists. It looks like Katy Perry showed up to ride some slutwaves on the . Seems like parents probably had to explain ‘the birds and the bees’ to their kids after they all got hard + wet watching Katy Perry ‘shake her shit.’

Are you a “California Gurl”?
Do tweens really relate to this song?
Should I live in some sort of hyper-reality candy world and vibe out half naked?

Seems like things ‘got crazy’ cuz she brought candy on stage, then wore a sexie lil outfit to make sure no1 changed the channel. Guess she is just accepting that ‘sex sells’ instead of being another female pop star dressed like she shops at JC Penny’s.

Really seems like this might be ‘too slutwave’ for a morning show, but I guess they are in trouble and need to book whoever the can. From what I understand, TV is kinda like the internet, and u have to try to get ‘mad hits.’

Here she is singing the song “Teenage Dream”, and it seems like she struggles with the vocals + movement during her song. Worried about her. Some1 needs to get her a ‘solid backing track’ so I can focus on her body, instead of her vocals.

Is Katy Perry the #1 slutwave artist?
Is her career going to be more successful than other slutwave artists like Lady Gaga or Miley Cyrus?
Does Katy Perry have ‘an awesome voice’or did she only get famous because of her ‘luscious breasts’?
Who is yalls favourite anchor?

Would u ride slutwaves with Katie Couric, Ann Curry, Kathie Lee Gifford or Al Broker?
Is “California Gurls” the song of the summmer?
Should I cut off my peen and move 2 California?
