4real. I wanted to help out w/ sum promo in my area b4, and nobody ever got back to me about that... This was months ago and on more than one occasion I gave y'all sum info. If sum1's willing to do promo for you 4 free, then you shouldn't ignore them. As a fan of Strange I would have more passion to promo than sum regular joe, but if the people @ the label don't care enough to respond time and time again, then fucckkitt. Why should I, right?
thats exactly right

bring on the criticism, buts its nothing new to any of us here. if your down, be down. if not, quit bitchin. we are trying to take a step in the right direction. but bullshit aint gonna help. its gonna take time to rebuild all of the broken relationships with street teamers that have been blown off. but know we are working on it. but if negatively is all you have to offer the label would be better off without it. shit is changing and will continue to change. and S.l.a.d.a.n???? its strange love all day all night. if you aint down with that, get a new hobby...

Well you said and i quote..."I challenge anybody that thinks that they can do a better job than someone else to quit running off at the mouth and do something productive.'' I stepped up to your challenge a long time ago. But theres nothin anybody can do productive without promotional shit and you know it. So before you go on talkin down on people wantin to help you for free..proof read your shit cuz i took that as disrespect. I've sent in my info MANY UPON MANY times. At least i can say for Britton dude has actually emailed back. But since i havent seen anything for 2 years i wont hold my breath. I do want to help out but if yall gonna keep blowin off the people that want to...fuck it.

Oh also so you do know, im not mad or hatin whatever you wanna call it, im just speakin my mind on the shit.

and all is appreciated. it truly is. im working under britton trying to help become more organized. trust me I have been in the same situation. I said something about getting promo stuff for kutts new shit and my city wasn't even on the list and im 3 hours away. that's sad and I know it. but have faith and be patient plase. there is a huge mess to clean up and its being worked on around the clock. I meant no disrespect to you or anybody, but we do have "street teams" that do nothing and that's hurting everybody. we have to weed them out. but the people that are down and have been will start getting treated like fam and not just some flyer dude. I have nothing but love for the label and all of the artists. at times like this when travis is attempting to take the steps to correct the flaws everybody that does have love for the label should understand and for those of you that haven't or can't step up to step back and let the new blood in.

s.l.a.d.a.n.

That sounds like a plan... Im sure Hawke fucked everything up. He never knew what the hell was goin on. But like I've said before and i also told britton the same... Whoever is doin promo in Springfield MO is sittin on it or somethin cuz im all over town ALL the time and never see nor hear ANYTHING. But hopefully you guys can get shit situated and actually get some good promo out for tech and the other artists as well!

I also didn't mean any disrespect, AJ.
Nor was I nut-riding.

I'm not like that, and never have been.


I know Strange has had their faults, especially with Promo, but they seem to be working on it.

I briefly spoke with L.D.S. about it, and how they said it's a weak Promo area.
L.D.S. said the shows sale out around there a lot.

Maybe that's why not-so-much money has been spent on promo there.


That's just what I was thinking, but I couldn't be sure.

WTF?

Yo Trav hit me up about that mod position that just opened up a little wider.

Edit: LDS said "Fuck you" to anybody associated with Strange for using him to promote Killer and then dumping him like a used up whore.

at times like this when travis is attempting to take the steps to correct the flaws everybody that does have love for the label should understand and for those of you that haven't or can't step up to step back and let the new blood in.
Yo man... You guys have all the info I could possibly give you. Get at me and let me know what's up for NY promo when you get everything together.

Honestly people only show up to shows cuz theres nothin better to do around here. I never see any promo for the shows except word of mouth. Theres NEVER promo for albums thats why theres not a growing fan base

Wow...I respect that you have an opinion but I do not think that I know you personally so the personal attacks are not necessary. There is no one to blame for any of this and you all need to stop blaming and help Britton get some shit done. I dedicated 5 years to Strange Music and worked hard to try and stay in touch with everyone. Not humanly possible but tried. Some markets are stronger and get promoted heavier than others. Trav is not a fucking bank so I really dont think that Strange has the physical ability to touch every part of the country all the time. Maybe one day the label will get to that level but right now you are still talking about an indie label with a growing staff, not a major with 200 on payroll.
Try being supportive and promote digitally raise awareness that way. When promo is available for your market, be supportive and help get it out. Spend more time on the computer helping to promote and less time talking shit. That would be stepping up to the plate I think. Make e-flyers and banners, email and text. It does not always have to be physical materials. That is supplemental, not a neccessity. Hell, I have to even give it up to ole Noxious, when he had no materials, he texted, bulletined and emailed the whole damn country.

I've heard several times and from people you didnt do too hot of a job. Its shows through the lack of promotion. Since you was Marketing and Promotions. Im not gonna spend MY money by textin people, or wastin time emailing people thats just gonna delete it. When people constantly post bullitens on myspace and shit its completely annoying, so i wont do that either. So I'll wait for Britton to get some stuff sent this way, if not fuck em. I'll be damned if i send my shit in after that.

Like I said, you are entitled. By the way, you are talking about spending money texting...last I checked texting was cheaper than gas. But anyway like I said, you cant please all the people all the time.
By the way, with the lack of promotion, I remember Tech being number one on MTVu and the number one independent, sold out shows all over the country, beatin out top mainstream artists on B96, shit tons of myspace hits. I may not be perfect but I give 110% to what I do.
Once again, you sat there and thought of every negative and came up with no solution. Kinda like Glum on Gullivers Travels.

How many times have you got an email and said "god damn a bunch of worthless shit i dont wanna read about", or a forward text message, or even a bulliten on myspace? Im sure a bunch of times, if not your lying. If people see a flyer they diggin they'll read it, if they see a sampler they wanna hear, theyll snatch it. Oh my bad I overlooked MTVu:rolleyes: Im sure he did sell out tours, thats all they do. Finally what the fuck is B96? Wow a bunch of little ass acomplishments, MTVu and B96? Im not sayin you didnt put 110% into your shit. Im just sayin your 110% wasnt very efficent. No Im not comin up with a solution cuz ITS NOT MY JOB, like it was yours and you couldnt do it either. So before you comeback callin me a negative nanny come with somethin that makes a lil more sense than Glum like Gullivers Travels, whats that shit?

SERIOUSLY.. WHATS B96???


I was gonna say that his 110% is like a freshman football player that isnt good, but still tries hard but sucks at football but i figured that was a lil too much. I just wish he'd say yea dude I know the promotion wasnt good or organized and thats on me. But he thinks hes GOD.
