(Looks like I’m on a bit of a post rush today – hope you all like the extra communication)
Got a great email today from Jim, who writes:
“In case it helps in your negotiations with RIAA/ASCAP/(etc.), I’ve already bought Shatner’s “Has Been” CD based on Common People, heard on your show. My next Amazon order with have the Eva Cassidy CD for my wife. I’ll prolly be getting another 2-3, I just don’t know what yet. I need to re-listen to your archives.”
I love hearing this – thank you, Jim, and thank you to any listeners who have supported the artists that I play by buying their music if you enjoy it. Coverville should only be the vessel that introduces the new music to you – if you like it, support the artists buy buying their music. I’ll provide links to Amazon, iTunes, and the artists’ sites whenever I can to make it easier (and to get a little affiliate money to keep the show running).
And if you have a moment today, can you please visit Yahoo Podcasts, and leave a rating or review for Coverville? (More exposure in the podcast directories = more listeners & more independent artists)
G’day Brian. Add me to your list of listeners who buy music after listening to your show and tell them that I gave up buying new music years ago because of what I had to go through to check out new music. I just couldn’t waste my time listening to the utter c**p that is most of commercial radio! Then I discovered Coverville about ten months ago THANK YOU BRIAN and have bought 4 cds since which is more than I had bought in the previous 5 years. My most recent purchase was “Lost and Found – Rasputina”. I was absolutely stunned by their Led Zepplin cover. I have always liked mild metal but I had no idea I was a goth chic! So thanks for letting me explore my inner goth. On a different theme if you do another Beatles show you should check out John Farnham – an Australian singer who does a spine chillingly good version of “Help”
Hugs and kisses from Oz.
I know 3 people who’ve bought Paul Anka’s Rock Swings album after hearing it on Coverville. Thanks for bringing new music back to my CD collection 😉
I just discovered your iTunes links from your site. Are you making a commission on those? I hope so. Anyways,just wanted to add that I’m buying songs that I’ve heard from your podcast as well. Thanks for doing up the show!
