I am a DJ looking for musicians to play on my radio show!
This is the real radio, heard in the stereos of everyday people! At home, the workplace, and in cars. Broadcasting throughout Southern Maine and streaming .. to reach a worldwide audience. The mainstream radio ceaselessly ignores great original music, and it's my goal to do what I can to correct this imbalance.
The Dollar Grab Bag is my weekly program on WMPG every Wednesday from 1:30-4am Eastern. More info and playlists are available at the geocities page , and playlists are in my blog too, along with some commentary that I can't yet rightly call reviews. More info about WMPG is available at the wikipedia entry .
WMPG is a community radio station in Portland Maine, broadcasting on 90.9 and 104.1, and streaming .. 24/7 to the whole world!

Make sure you include your MySpace address with the CD so that I know who it came from. Please also send me a message here .. and let me know that you sent something so that I will be expecting it and I can let you know if anything goes wrong with the mail.
Featured MySpace Musician
Every few weeks I will feature a musician from MySpace, here on my profile, in my blog, and more importantly, I will play their music on my show on WMPG. If you want to be the featured musician, send me a message and I will check out your myspace. Be sure to let me know if you believe WMPG has a CD of yours or what.

Bis (MySpace Page)
Glasgow gave us this band in 1994, an unbelievably well-mixed combination of punk, techno, pop, ska, and j-pop, that somehow becomes more than the sum of its parts. Upbeat and pissed off, you will jump and scream and love this band. Social consciousness is here. And you can watch them mature from their earliest efforts and into 1999 and 2000 when they went more into a purer technopop vein. Bis unfortunately disbanded in 2003, but they are still one of my favorite bands. ( their article on Wikipedia )
Important info about myself as a DJ and music lover
I am very very serious about music. If you make music to get laid, make big bucks, party, or just to inflate your hollow self-image, I have zero interest in you (except for laughs). But if music is serious to you as well, and you have a need to create music that expresses authentic human experiences, intellectual concepts, and seek to ever refine your understanding of music and powers of performance... then we should talk.

I'm using this site more and more for the purposes of networking in music and keeping up with a bunch of my friends who have gotten into it, and finding old classmates and such.
Anyway, I'm a DJ at WMPG here in Portland and I live with my girlfriend of two years. There's not much else to tell beyond what you can glean from the rest of my profile.
I've just updated some of my profile, especially my music list. Apologies, if it seems especially long; but, hey, I'm a fucking DJ, so what do you expect?
