day for a gallery full of Photos from tonight’s Premier Party at <a href=http://www.livebaitcantina.com/nonflash1.htm>Live Bait Cantina</a> in Long Beach. You just might hear some of your music and see your name in the credits too; I know we have some Bjorn Lynn and some Dirt Surfers in this episode...

OK Hahahaha I'm laughing but if you don't like this deal you surely won't like my comedy. My friend the show is a cable access show in regional distribution. It has aspireations of being more but currently that is all it is so the $1,000.00 compensation is actually very good when compared to most op...

That’s right folks, I have just been given this assurance from Poorman and the producers of Poorman’s Bikini Beach. Every original Theme song (30-90 seconds) that is submitted will at some point be used somewhere in the show. Here is how it is going to work. The show is set to begin airing in the Lo...

Bob, yes as I have announced with less marketing oriented posts in the past there is a fee associated with production of the video. I only post it at the request of Poorman who will gladly provide all details but the answer across the board to your questions is Yes, there is a Fee - $500.00, yes con...

Bobby I am interested in Instrumental and or vocal. This particular show is looking for a lot of instrumental and some vocal. I will database all submissions though and submit them to any upcoming project that arises. ------------------ Bobby Bensley CMAP Music International http://media3.javamusic....

When submitting music please always include full contact info. As sure as God has a sense of humor the one submission with out contact info is always the first one a producer wants to license. Of course it is hard to negoiate licensing if I can not contact you. ------------------ Bobby Bensley CMAP ...

Thanks Ken, I spoke with Rick on Friday and he will be expecting your email. I totally understand the business behind checking sources so I have no real problem with it and in the end your confirmation of it can only be a good thing. To double confirm with the artists here about packages received. A...

Ken, I can appreciate your diligence in this matter but I can assure you I am working with Post Modern on this project. I work directly under company President Rick Warren and the specific show I am working on for them at this given moment is Poormans Bikini Beach Party. Marla has never met me and i...

I always felt that if those seated in tables at the middle of the room or further back from the stage were having to lean close together to carry on a conversation then not only was it too loud but was quite likely that the highs were to high in the mix as well. Those who sit close to the stage tend...

I have received email responses from a few forum members and look forward to their submissions. This is an on going opportunity with other fims and shows being developed as I type so from here on out I have a large need for music to choose from so if interested in seeing your music become part of fi...

I just finished listening to an album that was submitted to me for film licensing that was a great joy to listen to. The production was rough and noisy by today’s standards and some of the vocals were a little off key and on occasion the drummer even dropped a beat but it had some really beautiful P...

I have recently changed jobs. After a year of working as the A&R rep for Javamusic.com I have moved on to a job that allows me to be of greater good to Independent artists worldwide. I am now working as a musical director at Post Modern Edit, which is one of the worlds top Post Production Houses...

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Carl West this afternoon at a small Coffeehouse in downtown Brea, Ca. Spent about 3 hours with him chatting about the Bakersfield sound and Country music in general in the late 50's and 60's. He shared a wealth of knowledge with me and I really enjoyed it. Was most ...

It is true, lo-fi does not translate production very well. It tends to compress the Highs out of existance.

Overall though We have found that Lo-fi is a very useful tool for promotion.

Personally I think it is better to provide full length tunes then clips and here is why. I can cut 30 seconds of good out of just about any piece of music. So clips can be decieving and also they are simply to short to really give me the flavor of the song. You can't cover verse chorus bridge in a 3...

Thanks Dave, i got the numbers and will give him a call on Monday.

I very much enjoyed listening t the disk and hope we can still bring it uin under the JavaMusic distribution net and help bring it to the world

Ok, this is the A&R guy and promoter coming out in me but I have to pose these next questions. <b>“What kind of opportunities do you see that the Internet presents to you as an artist?” Do you simply use the Internet as a place to hang out and share with friends or is it something you see as a v...

BIlly, would you please add me to your mailing list and keep me posted on your show dates? I would like to see your band perform but have family obligations through August.

Thank you,

If so I need to contact him or anyone in his band Cactus Choir. A few months back they sent me a shipment of CDs for distribution on JavaMusic but provided me with no information to establish an account. I need to contact them so I can either add them to the program or return the shipment to them. I...

The site is coming together though I admit I was hoping the Bios had been added since they were not there on my last visit. I left a review earlier in my thread though I am not a Steller myself. Just a lowly singer songwriter http://steelguitarforum.com/smile.gif I will have to catch a show from you...

Dave, it was my pleasure and I really enjoyed the tune. Hope to hear more soon.

Netscape 4.7 or earlier is incompatibale with the JavaMusic site. Any newer version of Netscape of any version of Internet Explorer should work fine there. If you have never listened to an artist at JavaMusic - There are several hundred to choose from then they do ask you to create a fan account. Re...

I received a package full of CDs from my father yesterday. I am still listening through them and am blown away hearing this man perform for the first time in my life. Since the members of this forum were instrumental in my finding my father I thought I would put a few of his tunes on line to share w...
