I with great pleasure present to you
Volume 9 of Merry Rock Against Bullshit Christmas!
I’ve put the call out each year and l await with baited breath.
Whom will yield my call this time.
All l ask for is an original track some what about the season of tinsel and baubles, recorded and mixed and l do the rest.
I master , produce and distribute this ( with the help of my super friends Ernie, Kyle , Andrew ) then to radio stations all over Australia and the world.
Every year it blows my mind, the music that is submitted is amazing.
All kinds of genre and styles.
All sorts of artists from everywhere come together to Rock against the bullshit .
This is a not for sale item, it’s a gift to the worlds ears.
I remember l time when l would get a xmas single from my fave band just because l joined the fan club.
I remember a time when I would get a free zine or cassette from a gig l went too.
I remember those times fondly and this has been my way of trying to keep that alive.
I just use the excuse of Christmas as the vehicle to put out a great cd of awesome music and if someone hears a tune and digs the artist then follows up by seeing them play or buying some of their sounds then our job is done.
This is about trying to get real music out there past the industry gate keepers and to keep the spirit of D.I.Y alive and rocking.
This is the final one so with heavy heart l say goodbye and put this project to rest.
I am very grateful to all the wonderfully talented people who have contributed their master pieces over the years.
I am also very appreciative to all the radio shows and D-js in Australia and all over the world who have gotten behind this project and supported it with airplay.
Thank you thank you thank you
Please enjoy this volume 9 and perhaps all the others as well and remember to always rock against the bullshit when ever possible.
Mwhaaaa
