Send music from the upper left.

Who can submit

Artists based in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska, British Columbia, and the wider Northwest orbit. Any genre. Self-released is welcome and common.

What happens next

  1. I listen to everything. It is one person, so it can take a couple of weeks.
  2. If it fits, the track goes on the active playlist.
  3. If you gave permission, an artist page goes up with links to your Bandcamp.
  4. After a run on the active playlist, the song moves to the archive and stays findable.

Because of volume I can’t reply to every submission — but nothing gets deleted unheard.

1 · The artistWho I’m listening to, and who I reply to.

Alaska is included, along with the wider Northwest orbit.

2 · The musicOne song, not a whole discography. Pick the one you would want a stranger to hear first.

A Spotify track link is what lets me add your song straight to the playlist, so it is the one link I have to have. Send the track page, not an artist, album, or playlist page.

Needed only if you want an artist page on this site. It is also where listeners are sent to buy from you.

3 · PermissionsBoth are optional, and neither affects whether I listen.

This may include public Bandcamp details, images, music links, and related social or website links.

New playlist adds, local artist features, and submission updates. No spam, unsubscribe any time. Unchecked by default.

Free. No account needed. Your details are only used to reply to you.
