Yeah sure.
I want to change some of our stuff on there though.. the stuff I sent you is way out dated at this point.
I will get done whatever you send... It should only take about 2 hours if I can take over a lab...

Ok Bentheman, I bought a spool of 100cds to send you, I'll print out a glass master of the fall sampler. Do you need me to send the cover sheets, or can you print them there? You can download the "wraps" at www.esnips.com//r/td/doc/60416aa6-3993-4547-bcd1-36aab2060051/fallsamplercover.wpsI am inches above you on the cash flow ladder, but I rember being in your spot, and 100 cds is just out of reach when you're broke. If someone sent me 100 cds when I was in your spot we'de have aerosmith sign to degicank records by now. As far as your newer material, mail it up to me asap. The fall sampler is set, but there will be the next quarter sampler coming out at thanksgiving, it would be an honor to have "the man" on it. Take care, thanks a lot for being the regional distributer. If you could give 25 to mary-el and 25 to carzy dave and keep 50 to the head to hand out. Slater...

1. I can do the printing
2. Am I burning 100, then giving them to marrielle and Dave or burning 50 and having them burn them?
3. who is crazy dave?
4. I plan on using recordings from our VA run next weekend, so I can get those recordings to you next sunday or monday.
5. i was under the impression that there was money available for this kind of thing in some sort of fund. if you need money at some point, let me know and i will try to rustle some up.
I'm at Vegoose and seein' Robert Randolph and Trey tonight, Maceo tomorrow and the original Meters on Monday!

OK Bentheman, I'll send the discs to you on monday with the master. Did you download the cover wrap? www.esnips.com//r/td/doc/60416aa6-3993-4547-bcd1-36aab2060051/fallsamplercover.wpsYour Degichallenge is to Burn them all and any more blanks you get by hook or by crook until thanksgiving when we will send you the winter sampler. This fall I set up contracts for next 3 years with cover artists for fall and winter samplers. We're talking now about figureing out who our core investers will be before we develope outside funding. We have a huge chasm in our organization between capitalist and open source folks. If you think we could get help for putting out free music samplers please look in to it. I'm sending batches of the current sampler through our degibase to agents all around the country. Right now it is still kind of low-fi, my goal for MMVII is to have one of our quarterly samplers pressed in a 1000 batch at disc makers or something, our Dad knows a guy there, but it'll be about a grand. The level of music needs to be peak for next year, as far as Twenty Ought Six goes, the dec. sampler will be loose. If you can burn the spool please give 25 to Mariel, give out 50 to your friends and the leaders of student radio around the country. When you have 25 ready for Crazy Dave let us know here and we'll have Crazy Dave pay you a visit. Take care, thanks a lot for helping us out with this.

What do you think about asking bands who are represented on the disc to throw down $20 bucks or something like that for future printings. Each $20 could cover about a spool of 50, right?
If all else fails......
When the hydrocelator is up again, I could just come back here, from the future, and pay for it all...

Hey Ben, Yeah when we first started these compilations in 1999 we had planned to sell them and split the cash with bands, later we had real problems from the opensource factions of degicank plus we didn't want to be hustlers(in this case). I would love it if we could do "Pay to Play" like RELIX does, but I always think they are a-holes for that and don't want to follow their lead.
I just figure, hey WTF, I'll make as many as I can and hopefully it will be a good enough mix that some listeners make copies and the bands will be inspired to throw 20$ in to make their own copies.
Get that hydrocelatore going I've got about 6 grand in recipts plowed into this degicank nonesense. I'll try to get those disc in the mail to you asap, I've got 25 pages to write by thursday for school that is holding me up...

yo bentheman, we talked for a second about buying tines for the rhodes. do you have a source in mind? i also need to locate some reading material on how to fix-it-yourself, unless there's someone out there in degicank land who knows how to repair a rhodes? ben, if you see matt halley in SC tell him we need to have a fender rhodes repair session...if he is not cooperative, then we'll have to discretly drug him into a comatic state so we can scan his brain because he has the information we need...
