The head music director is on my ass about not getting albums into the station. Can you guys help me out with some albums so I don't get fired and the three metal djs at the station have something to play aside from Victory screamo "loud rock" bullshit? I play local bands and promote local shows but I'd love to be able to just do a show of entirely local acts and other djs would be able to play locals rather than me being the only one bringing cds or going to myspaces.

Hey man, who says you only have to play what gets mailed to the station by promoters and the big indie labels? Get on the horn and bug the hell out of every label and band in the known universe. If that fails, download new albums and throw in burns so that other djs can play them.
And local bands and labels, support independent radio and hook the brotha up!

We've got some policy where we have to play two new songs from the rack (most of which comes from promotion companies). I've been contacting labels like crazy to no avail. The most I get is a "Oh yeah we'll send you some stuff" email. Definitely going to burn some new albums for the rack though. Just got Craft's Fuck The Universe and all three of the Crushing The Holy Trinity splits.
