|    RED MARTIAN to All    |
|    Giving away about 900 of our CDs .. real    |

      From: martians@sdf.lNoOnSePsAtMar.org              We've still got about 983 of our CDs we've decided to give to anyone who       wants one - anywhere in the world. We've already sent out several hundred ..              We're a DIY band from Seattle and we record and press our own CDs and vinyl.       Our music is influenced by bands like Sonic Youth, NEU!, My Bloody Valentine,       Cute (Japan), Bob Hund, Yo La Tengo, Current 93, Red Stars Theory and Joy       Division. This particular recording has near subliminal vocals, NEU!/Sex       Pistols style drums, melodic bass and bendy slow motion guitar. The lyrical       content is mostly abstract recorded words and phrases we said while in       dream/waking states.              We've tried using the various online shops, but we don't like their corporate       requirements for Universal Product Code (UPC symbols) nor the fees they       charge .. because of their fees we would be forced to price our CDs for more       than we feel comfortable with. Besides that, some shops won't even carry       this particular CD because it 'does not conform to standard CD size' ..              So, if we sound interesting .. just email us and tell us where to send a CD.       If you like it, invite us to come play in your town ..              Kram,       Stephen, Migiwa, Molle & Kumata - Red Martian       martians via sdf.lonestar.org              P.S. This is truly a gift from us to you .. record labels are obsolete        Some people have emailed us saying they were surprised to actually        receive our CD. Well, we really mean it .. also, your address is        hand written on the envelope and is discarded afterwards .. we're        not collecting for a list. Do not worry about postage or cost ..        its our gift .. we'd spend the money on chocolate anyway...       --       martians@sdf.lonestar.org              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
