eric o Member	Posted: May 1, 2005 1:43 am hey goner community---- we're launching our all-out campaign to break the KING KHAN & BBQ SHOW & HARLAN T BOBO records (and later, down the line, KING LOUIE!).... we're looking for your help in finding appropriate media outlets for this stuff. is there a writer in your town that actually writes about good stuff for the weekly/daily paper? is there a radio station that actually plays it? let us know? the harlan cd is more indie-rock ear-friendly than a lot of the "typical" Goner fare... so keep that in mind. we especially need leads/advice for media and distribution/retail in CANADA (esp for kK & BBQ), europe, england, south america, japan, australia, etc. oh yeah, any websites that are worth a crap besides the obvious- agonyshorthand, terminalboredom, garagepunk, bomplist... ???? we have limited resources but we're tryin' to do it right. we can't get everybody a cd but we can at least spread the word. help a goner out. email us if you can. thanks! -eric / zac goner records

Tommy Trouble Member	Posted: May 1, 2005 2:04 am I'll post some xeroxed fliers. I can do midtown and Houston High School. I'm at your service.
Useless Eater Member	Posted: May 1, 2005 2:16 am \| Edited by: Useless Eater I play the Khan/BBQ record on my show almost every week since they came through town. I don't have Harlan T. Bobo, yet. Stats: 100 watts of power, college town, 1 record store. If you send Dutch some press flyers, photos, I'm sure he'd get them in every bar from Climax to Cloverdale.

razor shines Member	Posted: May 1, 2005 4:26 pm As far as promo in Montreal goes, get in touch with these people. MONTREAL MIRROR: -Johnson Cummins - writer/record reviewer -- jonathan.cummins@gmail.com -Rupert Bottenburg - music editor/writer/record reviewer (also the guy who did the cover story on KK & BBQ back in Feb.) CKUT (the best college radio station in town): http://www.ckut.ca/contact.php -No specific names of anybody to e-mail on their website, but you should find everything you need to know here. CISM (the best French college radio station in town -- will most definitely play your records): http://www.cismfm.qc.ca & e-mail these dudes from the station: -Martin Roussy - general music director - musique@cam.org -Avi Elbaz - "Loud Rock" director - montrealenflammes@hotmail.com CJLO (the third best college radio station in town [yeah, there are only three, but I digress]): -I "work" for these guys -- I've played a lot of Goner Records stuff (Bad Times, Reatards, King Louie, etc..) as well as a bootleg of that KK & BBQ album, and quite a few others have played downloaded versions of that album as well http://www.cjlo.com e-mail these dudes: -Omar Hussain - Music director - altmd_cjlo@hotmail.com -Jordana - promotions director - promo@cjlo.com -Alex Huynh - magazine editor - magazine@cjlo.com The guy who mentioned Chart Attack magazine was right on the money. They promote the fuck out of Canadian music just for the sake of it being Canadian. You shouldn't have a problem getting coverage from them. Also try: http://www.exclaim.ca http://www.nowtoronto.com
razor shines Member	Posted: May 1, 2005 4:31 pm Rupert Bottenburg from the Montreal Mirror's e-mail address (since it won't let me edit my message) is: rbottenberg@mtl-mirror.com and their website is: http://www.montrealmirror.com

eric o Member	Posted: May 1, 2005 7:05 pm and they claim "teenage kicks" is a song that sucks! oops! thanks for the tips!
SinglesGoingNowhere Member	Posted: May 1, 2005 8:15 pm no one who writes on the sire thinks the song sucks...some random dude added that to the list of sucky songs.
BlackJack Member	Posted: May 1, 2005 8:36 pm I have a show at the same station as Useless Eater (89.1 WIDR FM). I've played the fuck out of that King Khan/BBQ record! Also booked their show here. Feel free to email me at mdorbin@yahoo.com for help.

SAMBEAUX Member	Posted: May 2, 2005 5:44 pm You should send radio cdrs with photocopied cover artwork. If you send them real cds it'll just end up in some asshole thief dj's private collection.
arman Member	Posted: May 2, 2005 5:52 pm i know a shitty fanzine in chicago that likes rock and porn
Razor A Go Go Member	Posted: May 2, 2005 6:20 pm Bejeezus, although it only comes out a few times a year.
picklepants Member	Posted: May 2, 2005 7:34 pm in boston, try wmbr (www.wmbr.org) and wzbc (http://www.wzbc.org). both really great stations that have shows that play some excellent shit (late riser's club, lost and found, etc). they'd likely play the shit out of 'em.
enough already Member	Posted: May 2, 2005 7:38 pm Please send FREE copies of all Goner releases to: Brian Costello Apt # Above the Yuppie Neighbors 2432 W Cortez St CHICAGO, IL 60622
Happily Ignorant Member	Posted: May 3, 2005 6:16 am Eric - send to me here in Chicago for our radio station www.wluw.org also www.wnur.org and www.whpk.org have good coverage.
Heir ick Member	Posted: May 3, 2005 6:29 am Eric, please send to WCSB Cleveland. www.wcsb.org I'll get the address ;ater. I can think of atleast 5 shows that would play it. Lables! Send us shit! We are an old-school freeform station. We likes the rock!
Useless Eater Member	Posted: May 3, 2005 9:03 am You should send radio cdrs with photocopied cover artwork. If you send them real cds it'll just end up in some asshole thief dj's private collection. Too true.
SAMBEAUX Member	Posted: May 3, 2005 3:05 pm When I was at WHPK, people would even steal copies of cdrs. Somebody stole the Essential Logic compilation that my buddy had burned from vinyl (which makes a little more sense than taking the cdr versions of the Creepy Drifter releases which were readily available).
rigid Member	Posted: May 3, 2005 3:50 pm An Unofficial Guide to Australian Independent Radio: * Melbourne: 3RRR-FM attn: Bec Hornsby PO Box 2145 Brunswick East VIC 3057 Australia www.rrr.org.au (8+ Goner-friendly shows per week) 3PBS-FM attn: Sarah de Borre 47 Easey Street Collingwood VIC 3066 Australia www.pbsfm.org.au (8+ Goner-friendly shows per week) * Sydney: 2SER-FM Level 26, Student Union Bldg Sydney UTS Ultimo NSW 2007 Australia ww.2ser.com (1 Goner-friendly show: Wayne DZ, best in Oz?) FBi attn: Nick Boyakovsky PO Box 1962 Strawberry Hills NSW 2012 Australia www.fbi.org.au (3 Goner-friendles, incl. Nick's show) * Brisbane: 4ZZZ-FM attn: Chris Yates PO Box 509 Fortitude Valley QLD 4006 Australia www.zzzfm.org.au (4+ Goner-friendlies) * Adelaide: Three-D Radio attn: Tim Kelton 28 Nelson Street Stepney SA 5049 Australia www.threedradio.com (2-3 Goners) * Perth: RTR-FM attn: Brad Scott PO Box 949 Nedlands WA 6009 Australia www.rtrfm.com.au (who knows what the fuck goes on here) Most stations are humble enough to ask for one studio copy of a CD. In Melbourne & Sydney a star system is in place and they ask for one per announcer if you want any airplay - I send a DOZEN of every CD to both Melbourne stations. But if they got Goner shit in the studio, a handful of 'em would go nuts for it.
eric o Member	Posted: May 3, 2005 5:54 pm yes! thanks!
trickknee Member	Posted: May 3, 2005 6:29 pm Eric - try Froggie at Clear Spot in the Netherlands. He has good taste, buys in quantity, and pays regularly. Email me if you need his contact info.
sexual chocolate Member	Posted: May 3, 2005 8:46 pm Crypt always had a full page spread on the back of Moo Magazine if they even still make that...I'm so out of touch.
BlackJack Member	Posted: May 3, 2005 10:17 pm www.widr.org To be more specific.
