Many forum members are aware of an internet radio show I do with my Program Director, Dan Coleman....the show I am referring to is TWANG SHEBANG. Dan and I have been working together for almost 3 + 1/2 years and are real proud of the things we have produced as a team.
Besides TWANG SHEBANG, I also do another internet radio show called "YourSpace Radio". This show is all-genres. But, because of my passion for surf music, EVERY EDITION of YourSpace Radio contains surf instrumental music, without fail.
Both of these shows stream from www.myrealbroadcast.com, by the way.
The way Dan Coleman has things set up (and discussed in another thread begun by Tim Ferrell), there is a companion website to www.myrealbroadcast.com where one needs to create an artist profile. That website is www.myrealtalent.com (the same prerequisite for getting your music played on TWANG SHEBANG needs to be followed).
In addition, and this is pretty cool is you ask me, you can upload up to 20 songs on there. NOTE: THE SONGS MUST BE ORIGINALS, NO COVERS. You can set your songs for stream, or make them available for download. You can sell merchandise from there, create blogs, announce shows, etc. And, hey, it's free!! No fees, no percentages, go to Dan or I; it is strictly non-profit.
There is a specific sub-genre website for SURF MUSIC within MyReal Talent, by the way: http://surf.myrealtalent.com/. Note: this is a wonderful website, user-friendly, and has been really pulling in a lot of hits and full-song listens as of late.
I urge surf artists to:
1) sign up and create a profile at www.myrealtalent.com, specifically the sub-genre, http://surf.myrealtalent.com/
2) start uploading your original music there; from this music, I create both of my show's playlists
3) forward me your promo copies of your CDs because undoubtedly I will hear something on your albums that you have not uploaded, and we can work together to get my choices put on http://surf.myrealtalent.com/
4) address to send me your music are:
a) UNSTEADY FREDDIE, 676A 9th AVENUE, BOX 444, New York, NY, 10036
b) schizofredric@yahoo.com (one mp3 per email please)
OK, DO WE ALL UNDERSTAND HOW IT'S DONE?
coooool!!
Both of my radio shows have been down for a couple of months but we are now poised to bring you all some great shows, with some surprises that I cannot yet announce.
The newest edition of YourSpace Radio is edition 41 -- and it's now available -- here are the instrumental artists you will hear on the show:
THE BUCKRABBITS
THE ELIMINATORS (special thanks to Tim Ferrell for his enthusiasm and help)
TERRY 'BUFFALO' WARE
THE POPOUTS
THE DEL-VAMPS
Again, this is a mixed-genre show, whereas TWANG SHEBANG is essentially all-surf instro.
So, thank you for reading this, and I appreciate the artists that have, to date, create a profile on http://surf.myrealtalent.com/ and/or www.myrealtalentl.com, and worked with to get some original music up on to the site
Let me give you the ways and means to hear the show:
1) go to www.myrealbroadcast.com (at the moment the show is there waiting for you to listen); when it's not the lead show, simply click on 'YourSpace Radio' - which will take you to the page where show #41 is ready for your listening pleasure
2) in the alternative, there is a companion website for the show, www.yourspaceradio.com; that site always has the playlist for the current show, and a direct link to the show can be found there as well
So, I thought a thorough introduction to the show and how to get one's music played there was in order; future posts in this thread will be like other radio threads found in SG101 -- that is, when the show is available, and what the playlist is
So my friends and first-time listeners --hope you like what I am doing in my ongoing efforts to keep the twang alive and well
UNSTEADY FREDDIE
