Post subject:  You Didnt Know??? New Release

It kinda surprises me when I hear a KJ say ..Ive never heard of it ...I have made it a point over the last several years to create a notebook of monthly charts that include new releases..of pop...rock...country...hip hop..rap...as well as information about new broadway showtunes. Now I understand that a project like that might take a lot of work and to be honest..i sure its not something that really that important to a lot of KJ ..but I just feel you should know what out there...even if its a style you don't really care for ( broadway for example )....most new releases don't get by me ...at least I try to keep up todate of know whats out there or whats going to be released not just karaoke

I only buy broadway on requests as with most everything else. As far as keeping up to date, I do that - even buy the worthless 'new release' discs from a couple of manus (Vocal Star and Zoom) just to have, but pretty much knowing the majority will never be sung. Otherwise I buy on request only whether I know the song/artist or not.
It surprises me that kj's still have to ask where to find and buy music.

I certainly don't claim to be familiar with every tune that comes along... I leave that up to my patrons.. I gave up purchasing discs or downloads that I feel may never get sung ... For example, I have one singer who sings one RAP song... and that's the only rap song I've heard at my shows ever. I keep an eye, or rather an ear, on what's playing on our local radio stations... and will sometimes purchase 'on spec' if a song becomes popular, but mostly I rely on my singers to make the suggestions... They know that if they ask, and if it's available commercially, I'll have it by the next show.

I'll have it that night ;) UNLESS it's on a disc that I have to track down.
