While I don't want to adopt Brock's caustic tone, I agree with this
paragraph completely. When I was a naive indie rocker,
alt.music.independent served pretty much the same function as this list.
Gradually though, a third, and then two thirds, of the posts became
solicitations to "come see my band play at our friend's party if you're in
Small College Town." Eventually, the group became useless. And I realize
I've used the list for my own promotions before, but I hope they've been
infrequent enough to be tolerable.
In other news... Can anyone tell me anything about this BLAU 01 CD I've got?
It's blue (duh), comes in nifty mechanical packaging, looks to be limited to
500. It seems to be by two artists: Stromlinie and Minus 13. The label's
out of Weimar, which shows, I guess, that the Neue Bundeslaender are quite
up to speed. It's a mixture, pretty much alternating track by track, of
dark ambient-ish stuff, and ambient-ish dark stuff with electro influences.
Anyone know how the tracks break down by artist, or anything about the
label?
