Question:

How do we get you to play our stuff?
(’cause we’re like, in a band and we’re really cool and can you mention our show and have you got our CD yet and why aren’t you playing us already?)

If you’ve dropped off a CD, talked to our Music Director, and emailed a genre-friendly DJ, you’re just going to have to become more awesome. Calling every day is not going to get you on the air. If practice isn’t working, write better songs!
