This is a spam-free posting from a long-time lurker in alt.emusic.
We're looking for independent bands and artists to be included on our
Internet radio station, Radio HK.
Radio HK is the first station to broadcast continuously and exclusively
into the Internet, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day. We just converted to
technology that makes it possible for a listener to experience a
real-time audio feed through PC' s with modems connected to the Internet
via the World Wide Web. Since making the switch, we have attracted
listeners from 40 countries, 6 continents, all 50 states of the U.S.,
and over 300 colleges and universities.
The audio quality is not too bad, all things considered. A little worse
than AM Radio, and a lot better than shortwave.
All the bands featured on Radio HK receive a listing on our World Wide
Web home page. It gives listeners info on how to buy the music they
hear, direct from the artist.
We don't charge the bands. So how do we make money? Well, we're
negotiating with sponsors for the station, especially in categories like
record, beer, soft drinks, and athletic shoes.
Within the next 2 months, we will also be creating the Radio HK Indy
Jukebox, which will let a listener pick a tunes from a list of indy
bands and play them in real-time. If you participate in the regular
Radio HK programming, we'll let you know about the Indy Jukebox when
it's ready to rock.
How to submit your music
We have interesting legal problems. Since Radio HK broadcasts to the
world, there are several performance licensing companies (like BMI and
ASCAP here in the U.S.) that would seek to collect licensing fees from
us for music that's in their repertoire. That's OK. we like ASCAP and
BMI. But God only knows (or cares) what the local laws are in Thailand
and Estonia (both are among the far-flung places we have listeners). So
an ASCAP or BMI license has little use to us until they straighten out
the international rights issue.
Our solution is to get the license from the artists directly. So at the
end of this posting is a pesky little licensing agreement we need signed
before we can potentially broadcast your music. Even if you are a member
of an organization like BMI or ASCAP.
Two things are really, really important. First, the signers need to be
the owners of the publishing rights to the music. Be sure to get
everyone who was in on the composition of the tune.
Second, if there are different composers to different songs on the
albums/CD's (etc.), you have to break each composition out separately.
It's a pain, but we need it that way.
Legally, there's nothing mysterious here. The agreement lets us
broadcast your work through the Internet (or post it on a web page, say,
for the Indy Juke Box). It says we can't sell your songs. It says that
everyone who has publishing rights has signed. It lets us dupe your work
for two purposes: 1) to put it on the air; and 2) to send out copies of
the shows to journalists throughout the world (we thought you'd like
that).
That's all there is to it. If you want to contact me, reach me through
email at [email protected]. And send me mail (and large quantities of
music) at:
Norman Hajjar
Hajjar/Kaufman New Media Lab
310 Washington Blvd., Suite 1
Marina del Rey CA 90292
Cheers,
Norman Hajjar

Yeah, I just picked up Astrud Gilberto's _Look To The Rainbow_ (
arranged by Gil Evans) and _Beach Samba_. What great music on the Verve
label! No more alternative/grunge even if it's 4ad, thankyou.
Towa Tei's "Technova" is really cool too.
I was disappointed with the Pixie's _Bossa Nova_.
Since I can't get off the list, I decided to make a bit of noise.
(einexile, what was that (IP spoofing) solution to exit the list?)

Hello
Sorry to post this to the whole list but there were so many responses (
and I left the sheet of paper with the addresses on it at home to boot)
Lemonjade are a foursome from Calgary who haven't been together for a
year, but are extremely focused individuals. Their goal is to create
music "that will appeal to a lot of people and on the other side music
that will appeal to only a few people" to quote guitarist Lyle Crilly.
They ventured into the recording studio only days after forming the band
because they were curious to hear what they sounded like. The result was
"Special" a song which hit our Top of the VOX chart in August and
remained there (in various placings) until the early months of 1995.
Their second single (if you could call it that) is entitled "Fragile
Little People" placed at #3 in March and #7 last month. Their influences
vary a great deal from His Name is Alive and Slowdive to Rush, the
Ramones and Kiss; However, all members admit they were raised on Brit pop
providing the common background to base their songs. "It's not hard music
to listen to," says singer Heather Boland. "It's beautifulstuff. You
can't really describe it. It's ambient in some spots...." They maintain
that eventhough it is easy for a band to stick to one style of music they
don't. They are not afraid to try things out and change things if
neccessary. Lemonjade has just released a 6 song ep entitled _Birth_
featuring the two songs mentioned above and 3 other wonderful pop songs
and one swingy jazzy number (which sort of reminds one of The Cure's
"Lovecats" in a way) and is currently retailing for $10 CDN (plus postage
for out of town orders).*This is a condensed version of an article I
wrote on the band for the January 95 edition of VOX magazine.
The Sensualists second release _Lovesongs of Chaos and Desire_ "is a
collection of fifteen sonoros pop melodies and exotic textures. Their
sound is a powerfully crafted mixture of extended studio manipulated
guitars, effects, percussion, and vocals" (from their press release).
Robert Faust, in his record review for VOX Dec.94, wrote "This is the
disc aimed straight for that place in your head, heart, and soul unite.
Forget long, drawn out guitar solos, images of young bodies slamming
themselves against one another, or angst worn on the outside. This is a
deeper drift, ethereal, subliminal messages caught out of the corner of
your eye as you shuffle along the underpass... ...To compare this band
to anyone would only serve as a reference point rather than adequately
describe the talent of this band, they rest comfortably among other
ethereal giants such as the Cocteau Twins or Dead Can Dance but they are
distinct. this is a disc for late nights, early mornings, and if someone
still has time, afternoon tea". Currently LOCAD is retailing for $15 CDN
(plus postage). Their first album _Boone_ was released in limited edition
cassette form with brilliant artwork. There are no more copies avaiable,
but plans are in the works to re-release the album on CD.
If you require any more specific information please drop me a line.
Ciao!

HIs Name Is Alive...It comes from a day in school when Warrens class was
studying Abe Lincoln...while he was taking notes the words "his name is
alive" stood out and he named the band after it. Yes, the single was "the
Dirt Eaters" and it can be found on the Ryko reissue of Home Is in Your Head
(as well as a CD5).
Close to Superfun MI,

Asking for the benefit of the rest of the list: Do you want to know
everything on 4AD that's out of print (the list is quite lengthy), certain
bands, certain formats (i.e. LPs, 12"s, CDs, MCs, etc...)? What gives?

Does anyone know what happened to Frazier Chorus? I realize that
they left 4AD a while ago, but I thought someone may still follow
them...
What are the band members doing now? Does Frazier Chorus still exist?
Where can I get lots of Frazier Chorus stuff?
Much obliged -

I am that "off said person"....What is this guy trying to say ?
That I want to rip off someone by selling a mispress...Mispresses are as far
as I know : always rare!
....considering that Andrew lives in the UK and I picked my copy up there ,
too.....it can be found...otherwise I would not have it.
