Help me out here. I think I may have mentioned that I will be releasing a record shortly. Anyway, I need help on promo cos I'm doing what I can with zero budget but the artist is asking me questions like "Why isn't there a bbc show about the release?" so I can see that there is a slight... gap - I suppose would be the word - in expectations between mine and his.
But, more reasonably (I suppose), he is asking which blogs will be writing about it. Again it's not something I can produce for him on demand, in fact I recognise that any blog that agrees to write about it for any reason other than just liking it is not worth being on. But, on the other hand, I suppose that if I sent the sound to a load of blogs, chances are some would like it enough to write about it. Maybe. I dunno. I really don't know anything about how this works. But I do truly think it's a great record (if that counts for anything) and, perhaps more importantly for this thread, if I do that then I know I've done my best (on that score).
So, my question is, what are good blogs that write about new music? And, I suppose, about this type of music - which I will endeavour to describe below.
The record in question is made by a Japanese guy living in Berlin (and who used to live in London). The sound sort of varies between sort of cinematic psychedelia and more garage-punky psychedelia. The band (Jaguar No Me) is named after an old kids show from Japan I think and the singer used to play bass in Fat White Family.... that's to give you some idea of the type of blogs I'm after, not minimal techno or bass music is what I'm saying. I need blogs that support either "all new music" or "guitar" or "psych" or even "indie" I suppose and I know less than nothing about such entities.
Any help gratefully received. Thank you thank you thank you.
