Considering the incredible resources now available to anyone with electricity, it’s growing harder and harder to predict where new fans are coming in from. Ten years ago it was all Radio with a splash of TV and Movies like some kind of entertainment martini. Now it’s an open bar.

I’ve noticed that people are more passive about the way they find music- they don’t browse through record stores, they hear about a band from… somewhere else. If you’ve become interested in a new band, artist, album, or song in the past year, let me know what tipped you off!

Another week, another batch of radio stations has added Goodbye Planet Earth to their rotation. If you please, hit ‘em up with some request calls and ask ‘em to play your favorite GPE tunes!

I’m happy to announce that my music is hitting college and good old-fashioned mainstream RADIO stations in the US. The folks over at Tinderbox are working hard to put Goodbye Planet Earth in the rotation at a bunch of college stations.

I could seriously use your help, however, making sure those stations keep playing my stuff. Over at the fan site they’re keeping a list of the latest stations that have added me to their playlists. If you can call in and request one of my tunes from time to time, it’ll make a big impression!

I’ll also post the updates right here and in the sidebar whenever there are new stations added to the list:

A lot of folks already know that Chel Pixie has been volunteering a LOT of time and effort to help get my music out there.

Well last night I was able to recruit four friends to help me mail 300 CD’s to radio stations. They didn’t even ask me to buy them dinner (though you can bet your tailfeathers I’m going to), they just did it ’cause they loves a piano rocker.

So many, many thanks to Jen, Trigger, Justin, and Aaron for becoming my mail room last night. Hopefully all this hard work will pay off in the coming weeks!
