   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 ..

   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...
