Solo set, supporting Jill Sobule.

307 E. Main St., Carrboro, North Carolina
I think a really good way to get out the noise and funk on him and familiarize the "Triangle" of Universities (NC State, Duke, UNC - Chapel-Hill, Wake Forest, Central Carolina, etc...) and then Athens, GA (home of Univ. of Georgia - Bulldogs) is to call into the local radio shows and request a song of Matthew Barber's that you like, enjoy or have just come to be fond of via this site or Flagpole Magazine or The Last Broadcast (great reviews both of them!) or any others out there and there seems to be a bunch!
I have songs that you can download on my review and interview of Matthew Barber and "Ghost Notes" and then the player has a button that will re-direct you and allow you to download and send to them to whatever station, if they do not for some reason have the song. You could also just simply say 'go to this guy's site and grab a song. For the day I will make available the folder so they can use all of the "Ghost Notes" songs, as you or the station can download whatever you request off of there and make it available, uber fast.
This is in an effort (from my own personal music collection, not through anyone else or on behalf of anyone or anything else, but my own collection that I am sharing and JUST FOR TODAY) in helping "GET OUT THE VOTE OR SONG (in this case)" of some good music by a musician willing to drive 1000+ miles to play his brilliant tunes for us? Who does that? We owe him at least some effort on our end, seriously.
I have one minor request if you do this.
Please email me at brasshat@riddledphantasms.com or ross@brasshatgroup.com or brasshatgroup@gmail.com some info for my records - what time you requested, what station and if you were able to get air play and best yet if you were able to get any sort of recording of this airplay so I can link it and post on it (that totally is not required so don't feel pressure to do this). Really any info would be appreciated and I promise to give you all something special in form of a shout-out and some rare music or something from my collection of goodies or something neat (and yes people still use that word, no chuckles please), if you are able to pull this off an email me.
Tomorrow night Matthew Barber is in Athens solo, sans Jill Sobule, which I think gives the town much props. The station, at least college UGA wise can be contacted at http://www.wuog.org/contact/ and you can contact them direct on that link or as seen listed below, and having been a DJ there a few years back (again no chuckles from those of you who know my age), most DJs play what is requested and that they can find. If you give them again, the link to my site and either day this would totally help!
Also a good place to look if you are wondering "what the #@$@" is the Milltown and who is Jill Sobule - you might know her as author of the first "I Kissed a Girl" way before Kate Perry decided to make a trendy pop version of her own on the topic, even though Jill's was a Top 5 hit single in 1995, (but, totally not limited to that song, she is really talented and deserving of her own review and worth a listen) and honestly check her out...
Also I found this blog about the Milltown, which speaks to the ninja in all of us!
Here is a list of the stations to call today, request a Matthew Barber song, do it for the love of music, not because I am asking and before the show if you can, but really whenever is cool too, because time is not the cage master of music, there is no Rancor, of sounds, songs and albums, WE ARE THE JABBA THE HUTS in this situation. Pick a station or 2 or as many as you want and call if you are up to it, it's fun and def. something different, but I think would help Matthew Barber whose music :
- WKNC 88.1 FM NC State's college radio station, based in Raleigh - http://wknc.org/contact/ 919.860.0881 or 919.515.2400 AIM wkncrequests; Twitter wknc881
- WXDU 88.7 FM Duke University's college radio station, based in Durham Make a Request 919-684-8870 & 919-684-8871
- WXYC 89.3 FM University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill's radio station-919.962.8989 (Actually don't bother with them...UNC is a step or 8 behind the rest of the pack as they do not email or have computers, they rely on some form of arrogance/courrier pigeons/smoke signals & oompa loompas to get their stellar West Nile Virus - Swine Flu dance tunes, let's move on)
- WDCC 90.5 FM Central Carolina Community College's station. This Sanford, NC-based station plays hip-hop and top 40 hits.
- WPAW 93.1 FM This Winston-Salem-based country radio station, also known as "93.1 The Wolf" can be heard throughout the Triangle.
Solo set.
May, 15 2009 08:00 PM - Farm 255
255 W. Washington St. www.farm255.com, Athens, Georgia
http://www.wuog.org/contact/ - 90.5 University of Georgia Radio if you go to the:
New Listen Live a screen with a player pops up on the page and you can listen on iTunes, Real Player, and Winamp or their player off your comp or whatever. It's a big difference since the lat 90's lol.
The rest is up to you...motivate! Down with the bong (at least for like 10 minutes) and make a quick call to those jokers on the top floor of the Tate Center (in Athens, GA - Central Campus area) forcing us to listen to their obscure music, and sometimes lousy stuff (I can say this as I used to DJ there, have I made mention of that fact enough?), let us hear some good indie tunes for a change! Play us some Matthew Barber - "Ghost Notes"!
It's all up to you in NC and Athens. And just so you know that it does work they played "Somebody Sometime" for me at 12:25 PM EST. The DJ is super cool so be sure and give him props as he has a 24 hour DJ shift, the number to call for requests is 706-542-4567...As for the 24 DJ shift, wows, that is almost as insane/bada** as Matthew driving from Canada to Athens!
Thanks friends!
