Subject: Need song ASAP today to replace U2's "Beautiful Day" - lyrics about coming home (scene is troops coming home from war)

*Please forward this email to any artists or bands you may know who may fit this description*

 

**Note:  Due to the volume of emails and songs we receive, If you do not read and follow these instructions, we will not pitch your song.**

 

**Only submit music for this project if it meets *exactly* the style we are looking for.  (If you think "I'm not sure if this song will work, but I'll send it anyway" it probably won't and will just be a waste of time for us to listen to.  Please note that there are thousands of artists on this email list and we receive so many mp3s for each music request.  It's incredibly time consuming to listen to songs that clearly don't fit the criteria, so please be respectful and only send appropriate songs. 

 

Also, DO NOT ask us to "check out track 3" on your CD (or send us a web site link for the song).  We have hundreds (thousands) of CDs here and there is never time to do that.  Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding.)  Future music needs will be sent soon.**

You are receiving this email because you have either sent us music in the past or are an artist or band that we've heard great things about (or are otherwise involved in the music business as a manager, attorney, A&R, etc).

To unsubscribe from future event notifications, please email: unsubscribe@truetalentmgmt.com and specify if you'd like to unsubscribe from True Talent's database entirely or just from our music requests.  We certainly can't imagine why you'd leave though since we've placed now over 45 songs in film/tv, including "Sex and the City" and "The OC".  Major labels, artists and managers have asked to be added to the list.

Be careful if you llok into deals like this dudes!  But it may be  straight up. "CD Baby"
is much the samae and a lot of people have very good results with that.

Hi Hank,

My name is Luigi, from Your Indie CD.net
I am working on a new project to give exoposure to independent music and CDs from all over the world.
If you released your CD and you would like to sell it, you can visit this webpage :

SELL YOUR CD

You can find out how to submit your CD.

I am also excited to announce that I got a terrific deal with TRS The Radio Station, which is a cool radio channel down in Rome (Italy).
TRS was born back in 1976 when the golden time for independent radio was on Air. Since then TRS had been featuring only good music: monsters of rock (led zeppelin, deep purple, AC DC, and many others) and many independent bands saw real success thanks to the airplay that TRS was offering.

YOUR INDIE CD.net & TRS are now able to offer the secret of a successful music career: Airplay!

If you are interested in some good promotional airplay or you need any further info, feel to contact me at info@yourindiecd.net


Warm Regards

I would love to play the famous Crystal Palace. I have heard nothing but great things about it. Will you call Jerry Hufford 661.328-7517 and tell him you want me there??? have all your friends call him too. thanks and hope to see you soon. ASHLY RAY

 

PS BE NICE TO HANK!

 

 

Here’s a great opportunity for you… Fox has a new show coming out in the fall called “Next Great American Band”. The people who are producing this show are the same ones who produced American Idol. :)

They're looking for bands to be in the show... you’d get to perform on national TV and there’s even a chance to win a recording contract. All you have to do is go to the American Band profile and submit a video of your band performing.

Submissions close on Monday, July 31, so there’s only a few more days…

I have not checked this out, so be careful. "CD" Baby
'is similar and is OK.
