You wanna know how you best send music to radio?

I just did a radio show around how you send music to radio. And yes I can tell that even more experienced PR people should take listen to this to have a better chance to get on the radio.

Someone has to play it first

I got the Airwaves. The first smaller program will test shoot today. A program to discover new music with the catchy title "Someone has to play it first". A show where I play things I just heard or discovered. I will do this show monthly so it will be re-runs of it.

Back to work

Yes, I have been a bit slow past two weeks. Quite much work with Live at Heart and me trying to have some vacation (which didn't succeed with) I now have figured what's next on the whole blog and other things. I guess the things people really want to read is the drama or something that can relate to them. So more drama and more persons.

From time to time I also tried to introduce new music in the blog. I feel I failed in that. It's a lot about the industry but really whats drive the industry is the music. I also feel that I get less and less exposed to new music.

So just posting once a week, and this time with marketing. See how it goes. And then we get it on with our new thing. I got my own radio show on Cashbox radio. Last time I had a radio show was like 25 years ago. It was a student radio show at a school and we were just mainly talking rubbish on air. This time it will change. I want to have the drama, I want to have new music.

So yes I want to interview your band. Or you as a person if you are working in the music industry. But you have to be prepared to answer the hard questions.

So my premiere? You know ....I have to start this series with an interview with Dee Dee Ramone. I have been holding this gem in the drawer for almost twenty years. I just finished editing the stuff. Soon it will be the start of my new radio show.

The problem is in the song most of the time.

It's not hard to find someone to do the radio plugging and take the money. The hard part is to find the plugger that actually get it on the playlist, said the artist.

I bump into this quite often. The error of no success is someone else's. I would rather think here that it's the song that doesn't hold quality enough for radio to play. In 98% of the cases that is where the error is.

Or that the story is not strong so the song can compete with songs in the same level. Well, it's the same problem that it's not good enough, just good to compete but failing in execution.

In all cases, it's not the Pr firms error. You can probably give an unreleased unknown great hit by Elvis Presley to any PR firm and they will get the song on rotation on most radio stations.

The problem is the attitude here. The artist is never wrong. All that they create are great. They are just misunderstood genius all of them.

I can prove that wrong also. Over time most artists get tired of their old masterpieces and the last record is now a piece of crap in comparison with the new they just wrote.
