This time it is real, Bela fleck is being rejected totally by me because

why ISN'T this the title of a real song yet?!?

Nick, you seriously get an award today for your post!

bela never posted on ILM.

don't get all worked up.

and I am not Nicolas Quemener.

you need to turn these posts into lyrics, the lyrics accompanied by lo-fi songs, and get some brooding sepia-toned pics and a sullen font for the album cover, and i guarantee you'll be a star

we're being completely serious here. if Cat Power can do this, you sure as shit can. You just need to find the right avenues and the right sound. Remember, keep to the lo-fi end, and you'll be golden.

He played Dracula is Abbot and Costello meet Frakenstine.

I thought he was a contemporary Jazz dude that plays the kaytar.?!

Which also conveniently means that you don't have to wait for your Avalon preamp any more.

Seriously. I know you don't want to hear this sort of cynical male advise, but I concur with Gear and Kingfish. Make an album of songs with lyrics like (or culled from) your posts. If you make an actual album - 8-10 songs on a CD - and send it out to the press, it will get reviewed, and it will get reviewed well. After all, people here like Xiu Xiu, which you should check out: you will probably find the music "ugly" but the sentiments are real and pretty heart-rending.

It will give you the audience and the platform to do what you ultimately want to do.

Again, I'm sorry if it comes across as patronizing, but this is sound advise.

many of us on this board were college DJs, and many spent a good deal of time going thru all the new arrivals in the mail. If you get your stuff out there, and get it in a case that looks right(the whole sepia photo & proper typeface thing), people will find your disc and you will get on the air. It's as simple as that.

Hell, make sure you give your contact info on the packaging, and you'll probably even get emails from some of the DJs telling you how much they dig your music.

MY TRUE BELA FLECK STORY:
I worked with a guy at my college radio station who was a HUGE Bela Fleck. The Flecktones were coming to down, and this guy acted like Linus anticipating the Great Pumpkin. He got an interview booked, and for like a week, I had to listen to this music that sounded like a banjo being picked apart on some sheet metal.

The day finally came. Fleck was held hostage by this fanboy for at least an hour on the air. Finally, Fleck said he had to get away and go to the venue where he was performing. Fanboy didn't have a car, but oh, young Pleasant Plains did.

So Bela Fleck and I walked through the residence hall and laundry room to my car, Fleck shaking his head and grinning about the last hour taken from his life. We get in my car and I turn the ignition. Since I had been in the car by myself last, the radio was all cranked up. I quickly turned it off, and Fleck looked at me with sad eyes. "Do you mind if we turn that back on?"

I say that I don't mind and he turns the radio on. AND IT'S THAT DAMNED BANJO BEING PLUCKED ACROSS SHEET METAL MUSIC AGAIN. Poor Bela missed out on hearing his own song on the radio for nearly ten seconds.

So I can definitely see how he'd be a lotharious heartbreaker.

BELA SMASH

I am his cousin.

You are also mentally derranged.
