Thread Name: Shameless Self-Promotion - does it work?
Subject: RE: Shameless Self-Promotion - does it work?
See, Mick? That's the problem. You and Art and Dan and Jed and Seamus and others are reluctant to say anything about your recordings, and people want to know about them. When you record a CD, people want to see some information about it. A list of the tracks on the CD is a minimum - lyrics to songs and a discussion of the songs are certainly appropriate.

Then we get other "singer-songsmiths" here who want to talk about nothing BUT their own recordings. They'll start one for two threads a week (for several weeks) when they have a new recording, and they'll refresh each thread hourly. And they'll start a new thread for every damn gig they do. And the rest of us soon decide they're obnoxious, and most likely we'll attend one of their gigs when hell freezes over.
