the person who is doing the show has to be well informed themselves. ive
heard holly & craig botch track i.d's beyond belief on X2K. to the point
where i just sat and looked at the radio in disbelief.
true. that's one of the reasons that i'm doing web research for them like
forwarding josh's interview with kit clayton - so that they can get better
info. i'm willing to take some of my time to work with the _current_
situation at hand and see if i can help improve it. maybe i can't, but for
each of the cds that we're suggesting i'm also going to give them some bio
info. if helping them is within my sphere of influence, i'm gonna do it.
if they are going to drown quality 313 classics & new tracks with >trance
and Basement Jaxx whats the use....???
i'd rather think of it as getting one or two tracks in the mix... then three
or four... and so on. if it gives even one artist some airplay or even one
listener goes out and buys a cd then it's better than it was. like i
mentioned earlier, the more exposure that they have to <better> (our
opinion!!!) music and good background info the more chances of it getting
played and talked about.
think about *detroit technology* and tell me how 89x feels about >our
music...
ummmm. that's a can o worms that i'm not going to get into - suffice to say
that there was a lot behind the scenes going on. i tend to be a little more
pragmatic and deal with the current situation. yeah, that was a bad
situation - but here's where we are now.
they are actively working with us on saturdays now - and my focus at science
on saturdays is on local labels, dj collectives, etc. up and coming artists
that would never get the exposure otherwise. this is a new direction for
their show and it'll evolve. this saturday, for example is a bang tech 12
release party. who? precisely - 4 local djs that have thrown parties and
are working on a record label. the backing music to the 60-second radio
spot is theirs, and craig and holly have the cd to play this sat on the show
and bio info on all of the djs and the label. it'll be some trial and error
but i believe it'll be worthwhile for all involved.
here are saturdays coming up:
