I just just signed up for BBC Music Introducing, their open new music service . I can submit two tracks every 30 days, but apparently it can take six months before tracks get listened to. I couldn't find an 'experimental' genre, so I ticked the boxes next to 'Electronic' and 'Spoken Word'. I uploaded 'I Like Trains' and 'Number Stations', which are both on 'Least Worst First', because I thought they showed a good range. The BBC's algorithm has picked these shows to listen to my tracks:
'BBC Music Introducing in Beds, Herts & Bucks', 'BBC Radio 1 - Introducing Dance with Jaguar ', 'BBC Radio 3 - Unclassified (Classical/Ambient/Electronic)' and 'BBC Introducing on 1Xtra with Theo Johnson'
The opportunity to be ignored by a major broadcaster was just too good to miss. At least I should give some spotty intern a laugh.
I also registered for Music Brainz, and I think I managed to import my Bandcamp catalogue into their database using Tampermonkey, a Javascipt extension (oooh).
I'm off to listen to 'Unclassified' on Radio 3. I'd never heard of it before, and it sounds quite groovy.
