I get what you're saying...
But noncommercial 'alternative' (not 'grunge', but non-mainstream)
radio programming is also a specialist audience that needs attention.
I dont want to turn this music into top 40, but I do want to see it
validated as a 'real' form of music.
I WOULD buy things word of mouth, but by the time the word from whatever
mouth trickles down this way the fraggin disc has been sold out for months!
So I'm either out of luck, or I'm going to find a way around it, which
means that bootlegs are fair game, and that I will ask for promos, or
whatever. It isnt like I am a drooling groupie. I dont beg, but I do
pursue every possible avenue to get the music I prefer to play on the air.
I'm just waiting for the day when writable CDs and CD writers are
cheaper.
Anyway...
