February Birthdays 
The deadline for Continental Magazine #16 is November 16th, so if you'd like to get your CD in for review, would like to place an ad or submit a song for the 20+ track CD you have about a month left. Here is the scoop on the upcoming issue:
Ad Rates For The Continental #16
Set to feature: Laika & The Cosmonauts & Rockabilly Rave USA report, plus tons of reviews. Please reserve space in advance (especially if you are interested in the inside or outside covers). Payment must be received with ad by the deadline specified below. You may now pay for your ad with your credit card, cash, check or Paypal. Ads must be submitted as computer files, preferably e-mailed as a PC format .jpg or .tif file. Your ad MUST fit the dimensions specified below:
Full Page (5.0 inches wide x 8.0 inches tall) $75.00*
Half Page (5.0 inches wide x 4.0 inches tall) $45.00
Qtr. Page (2.5 inches wide x 4.0 inches tall OR 5.0 inches wide x 2.0 inches tall) $35.00
*Outside back cover is $140.00 Inside front and back covers are $95.00.
Note: The ad and song submission rates are slightly higher this time, due to the fact that starting with the current issue (#15) we now spend a little extra to have the compilation CD properly mastered in a studio, ensuring that sound levels from song to song are as even as possible.
Issue #16 will be out December/January and will feature interviews and tons of CD and DVD reviews. As always, this issue will also include an exclusive CD sampler with cuts from many great surf, garage, lounge and rockabilly combos!
If you are in a band or run a label that produces surf, instro, garage, rockabilly or exotic music, you can have your song on the next Continental Magazine CD for only $65 per song. In exchange you will receive:
- 12 copies of the finished magazine with CD (these retail for $5.95, so if you sell all 10 magazines you will make $71.40).
- 1 half page advertisement in the upcoming issue (measuring (5.0 inches wide x 4.0 inches tall)
- 1 link to your band or label website from www.dblcrown.com
If you have sent a CD for review in the last 6 months I probably have your CD and can just take a song from it. If not, then I will need you to send a CD or CD-R with the track or tracks you'd like to submit. Payment can be sent with your CD (cash/check/money order), or you can send a Paypal payment for $75 to: records@dblcrown.com
This is only available for songs that are surf, instro, garage, rockabilly or exotic music. There are probably some songs that are outside these genres that will be acceptable too. However, I don't want songs that are obviously outside these genres - no techno, modern/alternative rock, modern country, folk, classical, etc.
Ad/Song Payments and Promo CD's can be sent to:
