From arielpublicity.com July 22, 2009 Newsletter #102 Hello from Ariel! In This Week's Issue:
THIS WEEK'S FEATURED CLIENT
30 years ago, in 1979, the Iranian revolution put an effective stop to the artistic lives of a great number of poets, composers, and singers in Iran. We will never know what could have been. Iran is again poised for change. Why you should pay attention: Since a serendipitous introduction in 2003, American/Dutch vocalist, Monika Jalili has worked tirelessly to revive the touching works of these Iranian artists, some of whom are no longer with us, and most of whom have lived the past 30 years into their old age unable to express themselves as they once could. It is their songs that Monika sings with passion, appreciation, care and love. Monika Jalili brings to life the rich history of Iranian culture through its music and poetry.

“I
feel like my brain is vibrating all day long,” says Reid Genauer, the
singer/songwriter behind Assembly of Dust, discussing the band’s new
album – Some Assembly Required. “It’s hard to sleep, I’m so excited. I
feel like Lex Luthor, or the Mike Myers character, Dr. Evil. I’m
sitting here twiddling my thumbs, dreaming up this demonic scheme,
getting ready to release this germ on to the world.”

http://www.neverendingwonder.com Network of four internet streaming webcast radio stations, archive of album and CD cover artwork, original Weirdsville cartoon art, cosmic collage. An online library of fiction, poetry, artwork, drama, resources on the arts. Free music mp3 downloads. NeverEndingWonder Radio is a "freeform" internet radio station. Q: How much time do you spend listening to a song before turning it off? What grabs your attention and makes you take a closer look? Not long, honestly. When I'm listening to a new artist who wants to be on NeverEndingWonder Radio I'll listen to a song for maybe 45 seconds. If it doesn't grab me right away, I'm on to the next one. I'll usually check out four or five songs by the same artist if the first one doesn't grab me. What I'm looking for is something I haven't heard before. I want to be surprised. Take me somewhere I've never been before. A unique turn of phrase will get me listening. KaiserCartel caught me with their quirky songwriting. I/OI got me with their all-out experimental approach.Q: If you could be star musician in any genre, which would it be and why? Well, if you can call "comedy" a genre it would be that. From my childhood to today my favorite artists are the ones that can make me laugh. There's enough drama in the world, right? Let's bring some joy to people. When I was young the classic artists were Spike Jones, Allan Sherman, Stan Freburg, Dickie Goodman and The Chipmunks. A little later there was Frank Zappa, Ogden Edsl, Da Yoopers, Bananas at Large and The Bonzo Dog Band. More recently we've had Weird Al, Bob Rivers and Stephen
Lynch. These people make life bearable. Running NeverEndingWonder Radio
I've come across a lot of funny musicians- from internet superstars
like Three Dead
all about. I would love to hear how Blue Cheer could have turned Summertime into a power trio noisefest. Adam Lambert could do a cool version that would be unusual and interesting. Gnarls Barkley could do something unique and worthwhile with it as well. Sound crazy? Don't knock it if you haven't heard it. Q: Using the Twitter format in 140 characters or less, how would you both describe and attract new readers/listeners to your site? Looking for your favorite music? It isn't here. Discover a new musical adventure. Your mind, your soul and your heart will thank you.Q: In a sea of innumerable sites, what makes yours unique? We're the only internet radio station with an elf in a jar. He imbues our website and our station with a bit of magic you'll find nowhere else. It's a crazy, mixed-up approach that has no formula other than trying to introduce visitors to experiences they've never had, take them down a path they might not have known even existed and delight them with what they find there.
