I've been hunting the Internet for more music, preferably Scottish artists that I can play on the tartanpodcast. I could just go to purevolume.com and scour the pages, download mp3s of music that I like and that I think you guys would like, and then just play it on the tartanpodcast.But as a member of AMP I need to get the artist's permission first, and I'm cool with that. So far I've been refused permission once. (Which was silly of them, eh?)But what I've noticed over and over is that artists don't always put their contact details on their purevolume.com page.
Oftentimes they'll have, instead, a link to their site. And quite often the site is very pretty and reasonably functional;
bio page, photo page, download page, gig page etc etc. But no email or contact details!!
I mean, are they crazy?
What use is a FORUM?! A forum that you have register to post on, and hope that the artist reads the post and gets back to your EMAIL address, rather than just replying on their forum...coz I've got ALL the hours in the day to keep going back to check a post I put on an obscure forum.If you're in a band or if you're a performer, please, make it simple, straightforward and obvious how to contact you.People want to hear your music.
