Hello Indy Rockers,<\/p>\n

I am about to expand my podcast to include song breaks, and there’s a great way to do that — independent musicians. This is an open call for musicians to get in touch with me, introduce yourself and and submit your favorite stuff.<\/p>\n

I’m looking for a wide diversity of material, from world beat to new wavy, to rock to classical. Electronic and experimental music is absolutely welcome, as are spoken word recordings. I need some intro\/outro material for programs, as well as audio beds and other uses. We need good quality but not necessarily studio quality recordings<\/em>. So if you stay up late making recordings on your Zoom, which sound pretty good but are not perfect, send me a sample.<\/p>\n

I will introduce you to my audience and point people to your website or other web location that’s useful to you. <\/p>\n

In order to participate, you’ll need to own your recording, and be free authorize its use. You can submit your recordings as CDs or as audio files via YouSendIt or on the web. I won’t be able to use material from every artist, however, there’s a good chance you’ll get on the ‘air’ when the moment is right. Just to give you an idea of my musical tastes, I remain a Deadhead, I love David Byrne in every incarnation (particularly the Catherine Wheel and the “Great Curve” era), and Brian Eno is one of my heroes and role models. My favorite currently-recording act is Radiohead. I am a Kate Bush fan going back decades, same for Laurie Anderson, and lately I’ve been f*cking obsessed with Lost at Last. <\/p>\n

If someone out there has a dream of being a music editor, please contact me as well. I have an idea, long in planning, to expand Planet Waves FM to include music programming, and I want to promote independent musicians. It would be fantastic to have someone assist coordinating this, or even to have a voice presence. Please let me know your experience and describe your concept of commitment when you write in. Remember, these things always take more work than you might expect, and Planet Waves is a dependable outlet; we keep our schedules and produce consistent quality work.<\/p>\n

Interested people are invited to write to me at my personal email address, dreams@planetwaves.net. Please be clear in your subject header, such as “music submission” or “music inquiry.” If you don’t hear back within one to three days, please write again. Mailing me over the weekend or early in the week is strongly preferable to the Weds. through Friday window, which is a bit busy around these parts.<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p>\n
