That's pretty nuts.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16150135572952331382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291247664835034127.post-88177071892469284502008-05-21T12:51:00.000-05:002008-05-21T12:51:00.000-05:00My band is listed on Myspace as "regional Mexican....My band is listed on Myspace as "regional Mexican."<BR/><BR/>I used to think that was pretty funny, until I realized that lots of promotion sites get their info directly from Myspace.<BR/><BR/>So now our Summerfest gig is listed under "regional Mexican".<BR/><BR/>Oh well, que sera, seraPsychoToddlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874353280798371891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291247664835034127.post-4132668431851817142008-05-18T05:19:00.000-05:002008-05-18T05:19:00.000-05:00you sure do, Ben.

So I guess that's part of the answer. <BR/><BR/>I just wonder about this from my cousins vantage point. How can we help get things in front of him unasked for, at least once in a while, so that he has the opportunity to have his imagination sparked. Whether he takes the bait or not is his business, but right now we haven't reached him.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16150135572952331382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291247664835034127.post-27468973274380666082008-05-18T03:30:00.000-05:002008-05-18T03:30:00.000-05:00every week i try and solve this problem by hosting...every week i try and solve this problem by hosting a jewish music radio show! i wish i had more exposure. its true, there are so many great bands out there! by the way, i love your blog!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291247664835034127.post-52987221941741048562008-05-15T21:28:00.000-05:002008-05-15T21:28:00.000-05:00This is a big problem for the Jewish music industr...This is a big problem for the Jewish music industry. MySpace doesn't even have a category that fits Jewish music. We have to use genres like "Roots," "Folk," and the dreaded "Other." It's difficult to attract an audience when you can't even search for something "Jewish" related. And since Jewish music is not part of the mass-media juggernaut, devotees still must make the extra effort to seek out music that appeals to them. Plus, there are so many sub-genres of Jewish music that it's hard to even tell someone where to begin. Just thought I would help jumpstart the discussion.Klezmer Podcasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07250713468067836272noreply@blogger.com
