So Sign of Descent, let me clarify, yes iacmusic is full of multi-talented incredibly gifted musicians, it is great resource of a tremendous variety of artists, and I think all of what you are asking is being attended to by the people who handle iacmusic.com as we blog this subject out. If you read up on the front page there are some major changes going on here, but to the effect of promoting artists music to radio or marketing their music, that I doubt, although I could be mistaken, there will be some aspects that will be covered to some degree in that way, i would imagine the best people to answer that question are those that are involved with improving the whole purpose of iacmusic itself and taking it perhaps in a different direction that could assist you and me and the artist community in general..but as for promoting ones individual music careers, well I would leave that to the professionals, those that know the business. although this could be something that iacmusic is partnering up with others in the music biz to expand their horizons in improving their service profile, I am not completely sure, just conjecturing
Radio Radio, my god what has happened to Radio
Marketing your music/ cds et al to Radio,
I could spend an hour or more providing the various aspects of how the industry works,how it use to work and how it works now, the landscape has changed drastically in the last 7-10 years, and I have promoted many artists using various systems for getting their music out there into radioland, lets face it, its a whole different ball of wax, it is still in a state of flux, but we may just be turning the corner finally after years of strangeness, I know something about the industry, not a lot, but I may just take the time again and lay it out again here, but if you want some great reading and insight, check out Bryan Farrish radio promotions and read up and subscribe to http://lefsetz.com/wordpress/ the guy is phenomenal with his insight and knowledge base
there is no easy way to explain, there are many books, support guides and magazines you can subscribe to, it is all about the business of music and not just about the music
here is one of the best info centers on the radio promotion gig thing you could ever read
check it out, it will open your eyes and enlighten you....I hope........it is all about getting a TEAM behind you , advocates who believe in YOU, and your willingness to be in it for the long haul and take rejection and wins in stride..
it is somewhat dated, but the principles remain the same
