I'm looking for Wire-reading volunteers to 'adopt' a label for, if you are unfamiliar, the Wire Audio Companion http://thewire.kargatron.net/. The idea being to check every new issue for reviewed/featured records by that label, then send me pointers if the label's website has audio files/streams for it. It's really not that much work for a single person doing one label, and it would really help fill out some holes in the current Companion, for which I lack the time to spend for multiple labels. Basically, you'd pick a label you like or want to support, make sure they offer audio stuff on their website at all (not much use if they don't do it), then, every issue, just collect the relevant info for the records appearing. (If you're *involved* with a label, this is directly for the label's benefit, so I'd urge you to do it yourself!) You can do a quick check in the Directory listing towards the back to see if your label even appears in that issue - if it's listed, flip through, find the records, and then check what's available at their site. If there's audio available, just grab the required info (see http://thewire.kargatron.net/contribute.html). So how about it? Any volunteers? Just oooone eensy label per person! Not so hard, and it counts towards your community service hours in the sentence handed down from that lenient judge last month. If interested, just email me with your choice - first come, first serve - I'll mark the label as yours, but also as your responsibility (meaning I might bug you if you don't send me info :). Applicable label examples: Mego and Erstwhile (see ish 222 at the site for such listings, for example). Sorry for beating this horse, but I'm insisting it keep breathing for the time being. (My, that's a pretty awful euphemism, taken literally, isn't it.) -- Vincent Kargatis np: VHF - "Ts" (Extracts)
