Hey all,
I'm super excited because NPR featured on of my songs on their Open Mic podcast today!!! I sent a demo in almost a year ago, and then just this past week got an email saying that the song was going to be featured this week. If you wanna check it, the blurb is http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6816049 right there. Shameless plug, but I'm excited none the less!

NPR? It's like the radio equivalten of PBS.
Yeah, Bit Crusher, I posted that track a while back here, maybe like only a month old. Kinda funny, it wasn't even on the Demo i sent them, I sent it to them forever ago, guess they liked the newer stuff better

Quote:NPR (National Public Radio) is an internationally acclaimed producer and distributor of noncommercial news, talk, and entertainment programming. A privately supported, not-for-profit membership organization, NPR serves a growing audience of 26 million Americans each week in partnership with more than 800 independently operated, noncommercial public radio stations. Each NPR Member Station serves local listeners with a distinctive combination of national and local programming. With original online content and audio streaming, npr.org offers hourly newscasts, special features and ten years of archived audio and information.
translation = it's a great source for news and current events as well as some quality arts and entertainment programming, news analysis, and general background noise while driving. NPR is pretty much the only station I listen to in the car, although we have a local college station, WTJU, which is really great, too.

Aw man, I wish I got NPR instead of 'Grandpa radio'... lol, seriously it's a choice between country or a fuzzy bluegrass station. I like bluegrass a lot, but the static's too much.

I sent a demo to WARP years ago, and they still didn't answer me, so the only explanation is that they too receive a lot of CD's...
I guess....
