Notorious

The Best in Underground Rock Since 2002

About Me

As of April 25, 2007, Notorious Radio is now 100% powered by wind energy!!! For more info on how easily & cheaply YOU can convert to wind power, click here. .
First off, to avoid any confusion, WE ARE NOT A RADIO STATION. We are a promotion company who promotes bands TO radio stations, both "terrestrial" & online. If you are interested in our services, please...pretty please...send us links to your music...which is as simple as sending us an email at [email protected] so we can go check your MySpace page.
***We admittedly do not check our MySpace email too often so the above email address is the quickest way to get your music listened to. We'll let you know if you fit the format of the DJs we promote to, or refer you to another company. Now then...
We started this company out of passion for "Underground" music. As a result, we primarily work with Unsigned bands and musicians. We strongly believe in every artist we work with & hope that with our help, others will believe in them too. In an Industry with less & less traditional opportunities for an increasing number of bands, we believe it is now more important than ever to helps bands get the exposure they deserve while giving the typical music fan the option of something different...and better. You can check us out on the web at: www.notoriousradio.com
***Please note Notorious Radio HAS never participated & WILL never participate in Payola. That's what ruined Radio in the first place. Money should NEVER be a factor in the success of a record, end of. We get records played based on merit & will NEVER resort to such antics. Shame to any company who does. In case you didn't notice, we feel VERY strongly about this.***

Calling All Touring Bands

As some of you know I've started a second company so I don't burn out on music (which is why I've been off MySpace so damn long). However, being a music freak, well, THIS one ended up about music too....

Botox & apologies

Does anyone else find it odd that Botox has chosen "Express Yourself" as it's theme song for it's Commercial campaign? Doesn't Botox kinda kill the ability to show emotion? Isn't that it's job? No fac...

Much Sadness

If y'all haven't seen this, see it. They didn't include the uber-scary shot of flames coming up behind Griffith Observatory, but...this breaks my heart. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/18562491/?GT1=9951...

NetFlix Once Again Rules.

Go to your NetFlix account, click on "Watch Now". Indeed. My desire to only leave the house when absolutely necessary is once more made THAT much easier. NetFlix fucking rules.
