About The La Snacks CD Giveaway That Never Happened, etc.

La Snacks' last New Orleans fling.

I owe that one listener an apology for not playing the La Snacks song and giving away a copy of Brown Orange Black Gray. It's a long, complicated story. But good news: I'll be giving away that same CD next month during the membership drive.

Moving on to other news: My next blog will show off my creative graphic design skills using freeware. (Why do I suddenly feel like Napoleon Dynamite showing off his latest drawing of a Liger?) The latest e-fliers I designed feature a band I'm interviewing on "ATX Live" this Saturday. It will be more like a listening party than an interview since I already talked with the band in January, which is alright with me. I won't mention who they are right now, but I'll give a hint: I'm "Not Not Nervous" about talking with them and plugging their show at Emo's. Google the phrase in quotation marks, and the club, and maybe you'll come up with the correct band name.

Whoa - while I'm thinking about the show this Saturday, I should mention that the DIY/ATX Events Calendar is up and running smoothly. If you're a musician or live music lover reading this, please submit your gig or show you're attending through next month. All you have to do is go to the calendar page, and click on the date to enter and post. It's that easy, and your show may get a plug on Saturdays at KOOP 91.7 FM from 4:00 to 5:00 in the afternoon (central standard time).
Feel free to pass info about the calendar to your musician or live music lover friends.

Let's keep each other informed and build a better music community here in Austin, TX.
