popinjay

popinjay (POP-in-jay) noun

Somone who indulges in vain and empty chatter.

[Via French and Spanish from Arabic babbaga (parrot). The last syllable changed to jay because some thought the word referred to that bird instead of a parrot.]

"We Brits didn't really like the way in which Jose Mourinho introduced himself as the 'Special One' when he joined Chelsea as manager. Being a braggart is so un-British, don't you know -- even if you are gifted with a bit of flair. The 'Special One' ought to have been told we don't go in for flamboyance here. If we act the popinjay we can expect others to despise us behind their smiles."

Hey gang. One of my songs was selected for this, so it would be great if y'all would come and give a cheer when my tune plays. It's all crowd reaction. Not sure when exactly...but this event is a good jumping off before heading to Adaptor down at Annie's Social Club (also on Folsom St at 5th St).

Peace!!

Test Press, San Francisco's Premier Dance
and Electronic Music Industry Networking Mixer

Thursday Evening, July 17, 2008 at Pyramind, 832 Folsom Street, San Francisco “Submit Your Tracks And Be Heard!” Test Press is FREE and Open to the Public

Test Press was founded in 2005 by the Electronic and Dance Music Committee of the San Francisco Chapter of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS), with the desire to bring DJs, musicians, performers, producers, and fans together in a networking mixer to introduce new music and talent.

Artists and producers alike get immediate access to the ears and feedback of Dance and Electronic music industry veterans and their peers, which results in an unrivaled opportunity to showcase their newest tracks and network with labels, press and distribution representatives. During the event, fans, attendees and industry professionals vote to determine the best tracks. Five finalists are selected from each event and will have their tracks voted on by the Test Press committee to determine the artists and tracks to be included on the next Test Press release on Epiphyte Records, scheduled for release in early 2009. (www.epiphyterecords.com) The 2006/2007 Test Press events received over 200 song entries and resulted in the 15 tracks that were selected for the Test Press SF 2007 compilation CD/DVD release, sponsored by Ableton (makers of Ableton Live - www.ableton.com) and Pyramind Production and Training (www.pyramind.com).

The artists/producers submitting a track for evaluation must be present at the event for the track to be critiqued by the panelists and considered for inclusion on the compilation CD/DVD release. All attendees participate by voting (via Applause O' Meter) for each track to determine the finalists. The finalists are selected by a combination of panelist votes and the attendee Applause-Meter response.

Submissions for the Test Press review panel can be sent via E-mail to here ---> [ www.epiphyterecords.com/TestPr...loader/ ] Details regarding Test Press can be found at www.epiphyterecords.com.
