This is the latest edition of my periodic news on behalf of Radio Crystal Blue, my weekly Internet-based freeform podcast. Radio Crystal Blue continually masters the art of freeform radio, with music from top indie, underground and touring artists from all across the Web and the Earth at large.

THE LATEST
If you’ve read my posts on Facebook, I kept you abreast of my half-week journey via Greyhound from South Philadelphia to downtown Tacoma, arriving on Thursday 10/16. The experience was harrowing, as I had some trouble with the boxes that contained all my worldly possessions. The boxes would eventually be shipped from Columbus OH to Tacoma, and it was a matter of waiting for them to appear. I enjoyed seeing the scenery of the Western States, especially in Oregon, Colorado and Utah. I only wish I had packed my point-and-shoot so that I could capture the experience. In the process of picking up the boxes, I would lose my laptop bag, which was carrying most of my identification, so I’m not exactly out of the woods yet in getting all settled in.

I am living with a couple, Tim and Lora Nichols (the latter whom you may know better as DJ Flowerdove) who are fans of my show and they have successfully figured out the technical aspects of getting the podcast set up. I had forgotten the actual settings and where the wires connect but now all appears well. Now the connecting to public-relations people, artists and their managers is starting. I aim to record a new podcast early next week, when given the appropriate time to do so.
I have added a 2nd phone number, and have officially changed my physical address. All other contact information remains the same.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
I focus on CDs as opposed to downloads, though I make exceptions in the
event of albums that are digital releases only. Music must have a 2014
release date. All new albums debut on RCB Novus Ordo; on rare exception,
some debut on Radio Crystal Blue proper.
I’m also interested in featuring, great compilation or soundtrack albums
track-for-track, to help tell the story of those album (see above).
EPK (Electronic press kits) submissions can be sent via one of these
companies.
