I actually left some rare Merck & Lackluster vinyl + cds in St. Petersburg
after a gig at Fulldozer Fest there in September. We'll see if the
distributor there is able to shift them records - there was an ultra-rare
Merck Squadron Sampler (yep, the one with the non-Squadron-CD Brothomstates
track. that one.) and whatever.
Am setting up a mailchimp mailinglist as we speak. Just exported all
Lackluster Yahoogroups mailinglist people to it, and discovered that
Bandcamp offers Mailchimp integration too - and some sort of export. So,
here I am with a 435 person mailinglist - seems like a decent start. Even
if half of them bounce, it's still a good place to start.
I'm kind of new to all of this, so let's see what happens.
btw, you seemed to neglect to mention getting published ( think Aphex Twin
and Chrysalis Music Publishing ) - that's supposed to be pretty neat-o too?
:)
Yours, Esa
