In this exciting interview he answers the questions, “What can Indies do to make sure they don’t make the same mistakes as big label artists?” AND “What taste does Top 40 radio leave in a PD’s mouth?” You won’t want to miss this!!

 Letter of the Month

The quality of bands and artists on fame games is truly amazing. Having just done my first reviews I'm so impressed with the standards that are being set by these bands /artists.
I will confess to cheating a little bit and copying the tracks on to cd so i can listen to them in the car before reviewing them(dont sue me please) but it has been the first time I have ever listened to such a wide variety of music in one sitting and enjoyed it immensly. From country to power pop, easy listening to rock and everything in between it's opened my eyes and ears to some great stuff. (Ali Robertson)
