I still get a lot of pr emails despite my attempt at unsubscribing from each and ever pr company mailing list. Any pr emails that get through
I promptly delete or ignore.
Music bloggers have been saying for awhile that the best way to get us to write about your stuff is through a personal email. Unfortunately artists, labels, and pr types were listening. So we all got a ridiculous number of emails saying something to the effect of: “I really like your blog. I see that you’ve written about so and so. I really love so and so. Btw this new artist is a lot like so and so.” But they really aren’t.
So now I ignore all those emails as well.
My new thing is humble little emails. This one from Michael Lambright (the accordion player from the band Madagascar) I really liked.
Also, I released a short album of solo accordion music last year and forgot to mention it to anyone. The album is called Allumwandlung and it’s free to download and share under a Creative Commons license.
Here’s the song “Poirot” from Allumwandlung:
Bonus song from Madagascar:
Goodbye East, Goodbye West
P.S. Madagascar’s most recent record, Goodbye East, Goodbye West, is now available on vinyl here.
