Script Doctor Eric's Podcast Needs Unsigned Music

2011-12-28T11:19:00.000-08:00

If you haven't checked it out, screenwriter/script reader Script Doctor Eric has a podcast on screenwriting - Scriptcast

And he plays unsigned music on the show.

So, if you want your music on the show, contact him about it.

His website - www.scriptdoctoreric.com - has all his contact info.

I may or may not be helping out with the show.

Seriously.

UC Berkeley Students Beaten by Police

2011-11-10T11:51:00.000-08:00

This isn't cool. Please see the link: Police Beat UC Students

Not sure why I can't embed video, so for now, just check out that link.

Also see the RT coverage of it in their article: Did Police Go Too Far...

The answer of "did the police go too far?" is "yes," btw.

Here's the UC Berkeley Police (UCPD) Code of Ethics from their website:

"As a Law Enforcement Officer, my fundamental duty is to serve mankind; to safeguard lives and property; to protect the innocent against deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation, and the peaceful against violence or disorder; and to respect the Constitutional rights of all men to liberty, equality and justice."

Watch the video and decide for yourself if they are following that code.

Alternative Hip and Cool LA Wedding Photographer

2011-10-16T09:34:00.000-07:00

Yep, another post about an awesome friend.

If you're getting married, first of all, congrats!

Second of all, if you're hip or alternative or artistic or all of the above, are in the LA area, and want a photographer who is the same, check out Linda Abbott's Wedding Photography

She's reasonably priced, and takes amazing (amazing) shots. She's really obsessed with every detail, and wants you to be relaxed, look good, and have a good time.

We may or may not have used her recently for our wedding.

Okay, we did.

Are DJ's allowed to get married? I thought you guys were all students?

Yep. We're allowed, and we are students.

But some of us are grad students...a.k.a. older students.

Savvy?

Use Linda. Have a great wedding. You'll thank me later.

Best Organic Farm Fresh Almonds

2011-10-08T09:28:00.000-07:00

This may seem like a random post (and in a sense it is) but if you read a few posts back you'll see that I talked about how during times like these when I don't have my unsigned music show going to promote some friends.

So here's a friend of the show: Vista Almonds.

The farm is run by a friend from high school and her family. The almonds are organic and literally right off her farm in Central California.

If you like fresh almonds, it doesn't get any better than this.

You can order online, so go to their website - Vista Almonds - and get yours today.

Seriously. Order already.

No Radio Show This Quarter. But...

2011-09-30T08:52:00.000-07:00

No radio show this quarter for me.

Instead, I'll be getting Script Doctor Eric to play all the unsigned artists I like on his screenwriting podcast Scriptcast.

Did I say podcast? It's also a radio show, recorded live on UCLA Radio every Friday at noon (Pacific).

So, if you want your song played on a screenwriting podcast that gets a few hundred downloads a week (I think those are the current numbers...could be wrong), let me know. Find my email; send me a song.

What? I have to FIND your email, DJ Octoon? You're not just going to tell me that it's something like your name as one word at gmail?

No, I'm not going to tell you that at all.

:)

-DJ Octoon

Looks like there WILL be an unsigned music show next year

2011-09-16T10:31:00.000-07:00

So, cross your fingers, but it looks like DJ Octoon will be returning to UCLA Radio for ONE MORE YEAR of "I'm in a Band.."

That means, only one year left to get your unsigned music played on UCLA Radio.

So... Send it to me! I'm still on Summer Break, but am collecting songs to play.

Will come back in late Sept. Like, the last week.

When's the show time? Damn, I'll let you know! (When I know, that is. :)

-DJ Octoon

Promoting Friends and Stuff I Like

2011-08-15T19:23:00.000-07:00

So, even if I DON'T come back in the form of an unsigned music show, I still plan on promoting friends and artists that I like.

Hopefully it'll help some of you talented folks out there get a little more exposure.

So, keep sending me mp3s and links and whatever else you think is worthy of promotion:

djoctoon at gmail dot com

Seriously.

-DJ Octoon

Unsigned Songs Needed

2011-08-15T18:41:00.000-07:00

Hey Musicians,

Send me your best unsigned song...

I know, I'm on summer break.

But I just might have a place for your music here in a week or two.

Stay tuned...

-DJ Octoon

Send tracks to djoctoon at gmail dot com

Please attach an mp3 to your email. I tend not to click on links.

On break for summer

2011-08-05T19:21:00.000-07:00

In case you hadn't guessed...

Not sure if we'll return in the Fall - will let you know.

Meanwhile, check out all the great shows on UCLA Radio...

Support college radio!

Support unsigned artists!

Seriously.

Script Doctor Eric Needs a Theme Song for Scriptcast

2011-06-27T12:07:00.001-07:00

Hey Unsigned Artists,

Script Doctor Eric is looking for a theme song for Scriptcast (A Screenwriting Podcast)

Make the song 30 seconds to 1:30.

Include the name of the show in the song. Maybe say something about screenwriting, television writing, the hosts (Matt and Eric)...or not. The name of the show is the most important part.

Send your mp3 to eric@scriptdoctoreric.com by Monday, July 11th. They'll pick the song on Tuesday, July 12th, live on the podcast.

So basically, even if they don't pick it, if you create a song, Eric and Matt will play it and discuss it on the air.

And the best thing is, it's not just on the air once, the podcast is on iTunes. (Check out Scriptcast on iTunes) so your song will be forever on that episode...

Good luck, my unsigned artist friends.

-DJ Octoon

Script Doctor Eric Will Be In My Timeslot Over the Summer

2011-06-16T12:43:00.001-07:00

Yes, the show is usually Tuesdays, 4pm-6pm on UCLA Radio.

But this summer we're taking a break.

In our spot will be Scriptcast (A Screenwriting Podcast) from none other than produced screenwriter and friend of the show, Script Doctor Eric.

I think is pretty funny. Especially if you like screenwriting or movies or life in general.

And maybe if you bug them, they'll start using unsigned music in their podcast. (Podcasts are a great way for unsigned artists to be discovered.)

So, check out Script Dr. Eric's Scriptcast on Tuesdays.

And keep checking back here - I'll still be posting now and then on unsigned music and what not.

Seriously.

-DJ Octoon

Cool Artist Chicks - Hand Drawn, Paitints, Etc.

2011-06-03T21:56:00.000-07:00

Know they probably wouldn't want me calling them "cool artists chicks," but oh well.

Check out Rima and Liz's "drawing a day" project on their site: RimaLiz.blogspot.com

It looks like you can buy stuff on there too.

Nice.

We'll see if I can get a discount for this post... :)

Script Doctor Eric's Scriptcast

2011-05-07T15:41:00.001-07:00

This Tuesday, from 4-6pm, my time-slot will be taken over by screenwriter and screenplay consultant Script Doctor Eric

Eric will be recording his weekly screenwriting podcast, Scriptcast. He couldn't do it at his normal time next week, so we've generously donated our slot so he can keep the recordings going, without missing a beat.

Don't know Script Dr. Eric? Check out his site if you're interested in movies or screenwriting - www.scriptdoctoreric.com

Like me, he's fond of talking about himself in the third person...

Ha.

Then for May 17th the intern will be taking over again.

It's been a rough quarter, folks! Sorry about that!

We'll be back with a regular "I'm in a Band.." on Tuesday, May 24th.

Or wait, is the intern supposed to do that show too?

I don't know what's going on anymore...

Check back soon and I'll let you know when we get this schedule straightened out.

Today's Show - Intern Rules

2011-05-03T09:58:00.000-07:00

DJ Octoon can't make the show today, so he's handing over the reins to his intern.

Not sure what he'll be playing...but...enjoy!

Be sure and bother him with AIM messages and phone calls, especially if you want to hear your song played...

He won't bite.*

You may have to listen and get his email address to send your song...

If this all seems mysterious...well...great! Listen to "I'm in a Band.." - the BEST in Unsigned Music

Tuesday (today!) at 4pm (Pacific)

Only on www.UCLAradio.com

See ya next Tuesday..

-DJ Octoon

*I actually have no evidence if the intern will or will not bite the listener if angered.

Get your song Played on the Station

2011-03-24T11:09:00.000-07:00

What's the station?

www.UCLAradio.com

Does that really count as a station since it's online?

Yes.

Okay, how do I get my song played?

Well, you may want to check out this inconspicuously titled post: How to get your song played on UCLA Radio

But I don't like to click on other posts, can't you just tell me?

Basically you email your song as an mp3 attachment to djoctoon@gmail.com then request it during the first 30 minutes of the show.

When is the show?

Tuesdays, 4-6pm.

How do I request my song?

AIM: BruinRadio
Twitter: @djoctoon

You can call, too, but we're trying to get away from phone requests, especially since it's internet radio and you'll need to be online to listen anyway...

Get three requests and we'll play your song for sure.

For sure?

For sure.

You're not just saying that to get me to listen?

No. Try it and see.

Alright! Is that it?

Yep! Send me your (Unsigned) song and I'll see ya Tuesday! We start playing requests at 4:30 so be sure to listen!

Thanks, DJ Octoon.

No problem. But please, just call me Octoon.

Tomorrow's Show: Alexandra Wallace

So, instead of taking your requests for unsigned music, tomorrow's show will be entirely dedicated to discussing Alexandra Wallace and the above "Asians in the Library" video.

We'll also discuss racism, talking in the library, free speech, why the backlash against Wallace seems unnecessarily harsh, and why issuing a statement will never help anything, Chancellor Block...

What to join in the discussion?

Listen live Tuesday, March 15th at 4pm to UCLAradio.com

AIM: BruinRadio

Send me your song and I'll play it on the show

How? Email that bad boy to djoctoon at gmail dot com

Then listen to the show Tuesdays, 4pm-6pm, only on www.UCLAradio.com

Want to GUARANTEE that your unsigned song will be played? Then request it THREE TIMES between 4 and 4:30.

Yeah, that's the first 30 minutes of the show, and it's the only time we take requests.

There are a lot of great artists out there in need of cash, so I hope you're using the holiday season to support them.

Me, I'm supporting a few. Here's one you should help out:

The Make.Shift Music Project

That'll take you to their Kickstarter page where they're trying to get some funds for a project up in Washington.

And here's their video pitch:

I'm throwing in $50. You?

And if you got any projects you're looking to fund, let me know! The better we can support each other, the better off we'll be.

Artists unite!

Daily Bruin Radio

2010-11-20T00:15:00.000-08:00

Not sure why The Daily Bruin has their own radio page and podcast (and logo! wtf!?!) but they might want to join up with the already well-established radio right there on the UCLA campus.

Of course, I'm talking about UCLA Radio.

Why would the Daily Bruin go off on their own and not simply work with the campus radio station?

There might be more to this story...

UCLA Radio Blog - Unsigned Song of the Week

2010-10-23T01:00:00.000-07:00

If you've been to UCLAradio.com's Blog recently, then you may have seen my regular posts, "Unsigned Song of the Week."

Basically, I'm picking one song that I play on my radio show and profiling it on the station blog.

The song may be something new, or it may be an older track. There really isn't any rhyme or reason, besides what I'm in the mood for.

But I have to play it on the show, so in order to be eligible, see this post: How to get your song played on my radio show

Any questions?

Good. See ya Tues.

UCLA Radio Interns

2010-10-17T15:03:00.000-07:00

Not the Average UCLA Radio Intern Experience

If you listened to the show last week, you realized that we have two interns on "I'm in a Band.." this quarter: Eric and Jennifer.

Welcome them to the show by shooting them an AIM during the show.

AIM: BruinRadio

Just a quick, "Hey intern," is enough. Let's not get carried away.

But if you're an unsigned artist, they might be good people to get to know. Internships at UCLA Radio work like this: You intern for a quarter, then the next quarter you have your own show.

So basically, it's me and two future DJs on air.

So keep that in mind when you're chatting them up. If you make them a fan early, maybe they'll play your stuff on their show...

Seriously.

-DJ Octoon

UCLA Radio Show Airplay

2010-10-15T14:56:00.000-07:00

Howdy,

A listener - and unsigned artist - asked how they get played on the other shows on UCLA Radio.

The answer: Contact the DJs of those shows!

You COULD submit your stuff to the music department at the station and hope it ends up in general rotation...

However...

That may take months. And there's no guarantee your CD will be reviewed or even get played.

Better to just do it show-to-show.

So, go to www.UCLAradio.com and check out the schedule. Find a show in your genre, listen in, and hit up the DJ on air! (It also doesn't hurt to compliment them. :)

Seriously.

Where to Mail Your CD to get Radio Play

2010-10-09T19:04:00.000-07:00

Not DJ Octoon

While I have a whole method for you to submit your mp3 to my radio show, I know some of you artistic folks out there took the time to design a CD cover, get it printed, and all that 1990s-style technology.

If so, great! I'd be happy to play your CD on UCLA Radio. Send it to:

DJ Octoon - MUSIC SUBMISSION
c/o UCLAradio.com
Kerckhoff Hall #118
308 Westwood Plaza
Los Angeles, CA 90024

Make sure my name is big and bold so your CD doesn't end up in the huge stack in the general station music.

And be sure to request it during the show! I only take requests during the first 30 minutes...

Seriously.

There may or may not be a show tomorrow

2010-10-04T09:46:00.000-07:00

Meanwhile, check out this article in the Daily Bruin which calls for more publicity for UCLA Radio.

AND...

If you email the author of the article AND/OR student media and tell them how much we NEED to have UCLA Radio back on the air, and especially "I'm in a Band.." - The BEST in Unsigned Music with DJ Octoon - I will play ANY SONG you like on our next show!*

Be sure to "cc" me on the email, so I know you sent it.

Their email addresses:

pzymet@media.ucla.edu

Mine:

Awesome sauce.

*Of course, that song must be unsigned.

Apologies, but today's show has been CANCELED!

There appears to be NO ACCESS to the UCLA Radio station at the moment.

Wish I would have known to tell y'all earlier...but it's college radio...surprises are the only certainty!

Or something.

See ya next Tuesday for BIG show!

-DJ Octoon

New Show Time - TUESDAYS 4-6PM

2010-09-19T05:25:00.000-07:00

Listen up!

It's now Fall Quarter, 2010. And a new quarter means a new radio show time.

Well, sometimes it does.

I switched times this quarter because so many people were forgetting about the show on Sunday mornings. My slogan "Skip church, listen to UCLA Radio" just didn't catch on...

Plus, I'll be on campus Tuesdays, so it's convenient.

So remember: To hear the BEST in Unsigned Music, go to www.UCLAradio.com every Tuesday from 4-6pm.

(That's 7-9pm Eastern, for all the mathematically challenged East coasters out there.)

Until Tuesday...

If you're wondering why this list is shorter than most, it's because DJ Octoon did a bunch of talking during the show.

There is no way DJ Octoon left early to meet his relatives in Pasadena for lunch at 1pm.

That definitely didn't happen.

Tune in this Sunday, Sept. 12th, for a BIG show

2010-09-06T18:20:00.000-07:00

Tune in to UCLA Radio this Sunday, September 12th, 10am - noon (Pacific) for a BIG show of Unsigned Music.

Why will it be big? Because we didn't have a show last week and so we'll have TWO weeks of unsigned music to send out over the air.

Want your song to be part of the show? Email an mp3 to djoctoon@gmail.com and then request it during the first 30 minutes of the show!

How to request:

AIM: bruinradio
Twitter: @djoctoon
Phone (if you're old skool): 310-825-9999

Three requests and we GUARANTEE we'll play it.

We Will Play Your Song on the Radio

2010-08-27T10:05:00.001-07:00

Howdy,

DJ Octoon stopping by the blog to say, yes, the rumors are true: We WILL play your song on UCLA Radio this Sunday. Yes, any genre.

Here's what you have to do:

1. You must email your mp3 to djoctoon@gmail.com

2. It must be unsigned music. (For example, this band "The Red Hot Chili Peppers" keeps sending us their stuff, but it turns out they are signed...)

3. You must request it during the show!
