TOP Ten reasons Beastie Boys nominated to RR HOF not TOP by: Al Carlos

by

10.People who nominate have the value system of oil executives.

9. RR members consider Beasties intellectuals.

8. A Brass Monkey trumps a bowl legged Monkey.

7. I guess you literally do have to Fight for Your Right to Party.

6. TOP is actually out and about doing new music around the world and not in rehab.

5. The prolonged effect of cocaine and quiche caused them to forget that rap is not real music.

4. They place Oakland music in the foreign country category.

3. TOP has played on as many records as Madonna has,… musicians.

2. Jan Wenner and Dave Marsh rig the whole thing for fun and profit.

1. You get what you pay for, I agree with the Sex Pistols POV.

Mingo Fishtrap is launching a KICKSTARTER campaign

by

We just got news that Mingo Fishtrap is launching a KICKSTARTER campaign.  Here is the info from the campaign page:

Be a part of Mingo Fishtrap’s new album!

We’re so glad you’re checking out this campaign!  For those of you KS supporters who aren’t familiar with Mingo Fishtrap, welcome!  We’re an eight piece band based in Austin, TX.  Our music has its roots in the soul & funk from New Orleans, Muscle Shoals, Memphis and Detroit (with a twist of Oakland & Philly!).  We’re on the road a good deal of the time, and we’re eternally grateful to those who have supported us through the years!

For those who are new to Kickstarter it basically works like this: We have a limited amount of time to reach (or surpass) our goal.  For this project, that’s 45 days total.  It’s an all or nothing thing – if we don’t reach the goal, the pledges are not charged and the project isn’t funded!

Mingo has been recording what we feel is the best batch of tunes we’ve written. We’re hoping to team up with you fine folks to give this project the wings we feel it deserves.  We’ve laid down most of the songs and had some preliminary mixing done. A bit of the funding will help us to finish recording, mixing and mastering the album.  The majority of the funding will be dedicated towards the release & promotion.

The total budget for the project, between what we’ve spent already and what we hope to get done, is right around $50,000 for a release with a 3-4 month publicity campaign.  For an independent band – particularly one with eight mouths to feed and eight butts to haul around the country – that’s a lotta dough!  The way it works for most indy bands – including us – is you record and release an album on your own, printing 1,000 copies at a time, selling them at shows and eventually online if there’s demand.  You take the modest profit from those and record and release another and so on and so on…

Unfortunately there’s no real budget built into that cycle for promoting the album properly.  So in order to kick that part of our game up a notch or three, our options are limited; either sign a record deal to get the publicists, radio promoters &distributors we need, or hire them directly to handle the project.  Although there are some labels out there doing great, honest work for their artists, it’s getting tougher and tougher to find that perfect fit.  We feel we’ve made the right connections to put together an amazing team that will help us to better share the music we love to make!

So we’re hoping, with your help, to start a new chapter in the band’s history. We’ve set up 10 pledge levels, each with a corresponding gift package.  Take a few moments to check out the different rewards.  There’s obviously a big dose of patronage here on KS, and we are humbled by that.  We’ve tried to come up with some unique rewards for those of you who fall into that category.  But we’re hoping this will also be the first choice to get the album for about the same price as you’d pay online or at a show.  But you’ll get it first!

Just remember…it’s a Cinderella story and the clock is ticking!

Peace & grease!
