As I said, I'm taking a hiatus from Radio for the summer before looking for a new home for Brave New World, but if you're a musician, I'd still like to meet your new CD. As a music supervisor for commercials and TV I can help in other ways besides radio airplay! Please read on for submission policy though ...Three-Step Submission Policy for bands and artists:
1. Snail Mail Don't E-mail.
If you want me to hear your music, send CDs to:
Tricia Halloran/HUM
1547 Ninth Street, Santa Monica, CA 90401
I LOVE discovering new music, but find the most productive way to discover is to listen to your submissions via CD rather than reading about your band in emails or listening to music online. I go for volume and try to listen to everything rather than pre-sort by who I know or who sent me e-mail.
2. Silence Is Golden
I PROMISE that I listen to everything you send. In fact, I prioritize listening over answering your emails asking if I've listened to your CD! If you send it I'll listen, if I like it, I'll try to help. It's just impossible to stay in touch with everyone personally. IF I am playing your music, I'd love to be on your mailing list to get info about shows and stuff. Use this email: bnwtricia (at sign) gmail.com, NOT the MySpace page.
3. Don't Spam My Friends
This is a place for fans of Brave New World to gather. Please respect that. It's not a place for you to promote your band. That's what your page is for! If I've added you as a friend, that means you are a fan of the show, it doesn't mean I've listened to your music. If that is your goal, see numbers 1 and 2 above.
See The Blog for this month's favorites! All-time favorites: The Pixies, The Mountain Goats, Wedding Present, Sonic Youth, PJ Harvey.
It's a good time to read "Summerland" by Michael Chabon. What a great tale of summer, baseball, and wild adventures! I'm also reading "Brunelleschi's Dome" by Ross King, which is about Florence and architecture, and is quite fascinating.
