THE SONG WRITERS KUNG FU
If you wanna win a fight you need to learn the best moves possible.
In gaming language these are called "cheats" or "shortcuts" but I'll just call it good kung fu. Here are some of the best musical KUNG FU moves around.
MAKE A CD
BULK
CLICK HERE to visit Discmakers for rates as low as US$0.74 cents per CD (if you know someone in NZ cheaper or equiavalent let me know) These guys are good for BULK ORDERS.
MAKE TO ORDER
Amba from TUNE TANK put me onto this next crowd and you can buy for as low as $1.60 per cd and from 1 cd upwards with $3 for shipping. This is better for someone who wants to supply to demand. CLICK HERE to visit KUNAKI. Check out their software which comes free with the service. I love it.
WHAT ARE YOU MESSING AROUND FOR? SELL YOUR MP3 TUNES BY MOBILE TEXT - Get "Jiggy" with it. CLICK HERE and look to the top right of the site for "ARTIST SERVICES". Jiggy is owned by Dave Gibbons who manages RADIO ACTIVE. So you'll be supporting a KIWI company that is brilliant at supporting KIWI music.
RADIO ACTIVE
CLICK HERE to check them out. Start the revolution. Listen to kiwi music. You know you want to do it.
After a brief foray into NZ radio working as a general manager for Classic Hits and Newstalk ZB in Wairarapa I can assure you that the best radio stations are the ones that keep it kiwi and invest in local industry. While I applaud both TRN and RW networks for keeping it kiwi, they are big enough to promote themselves. So here's to the guys that allow emerging talent to break through. I don't like the kiwi hit disc mechanism due to the simple commercial fact that three people (2 from commercial radio and 1 representing us) basically decide what goes on radio. I'd like to see a group of people representing us with one representing the interest of each genre. I totally get the commercial need and demographics, but I think as an industry we should fight even harder to get more kiwi music on radio. We're all biased. The system needs to be more democratic.
KIWI'S SEND IN YOUR DEMOS!

Brad Carters TXT Tunes is not an "either / or" proposition with JIGGY and other vendors. I use BOTH services and suggest check out my review in the BLOGS. I encourage you to list with BOTH services which are NON EXCLUSIVE. Isn't that great? You don't have to be monogomous. Your music can sleep with everyone. I have already raved about TXT TUNES more than any sane human being should. You know what to do.
