Submissions

WHAT IS GOING ON?? Does no one knows what "submissions/press kit" means anymore?

When people ask me "how do I get a write up in the magazine?" Well the answer should be obvious right.. send me a submission. I'm very open to checking out new music and new artists. But when you come to me with a very cocky attitude (and yes, I know the difference between cocky and confident, I can also usually tell within the first 5 minutes of talking to you if you're worth talking to or not) and expect me to "show some love" just because... then you're crazy (if this makes me a "hater" then so be it).

Please understand that we do not; sell front covers (buy the back if you really want a cover- it's the front depending on how you hand out the mag), sell write-ups, give out pictures before that issue comes out (the photos are NOT free, these talented photographers need to eat too), we won't make you look bad in an article unless you did it to yourself, and we don't last minute interviews because you cornered us.

So back on the submission topic, go to WWW.STASHONLINE.COM and get all the info there, send the press kit, and voila :)

OH and just in case you don't know what a press kit is, it should consist of; your bio with a picture (please don't hand write the bio), CD or some sort of sample of your music (good presentation is always a plus), send it in an envelope, follow it up with a phone call or email so we can put the person to the package.

Ok, no more bitching from me. But one last thing, who is as excited as me for the next Stash issue??? 4th issue, did you read that? 4TH ISSUE!!!

For Entertainment Purposes Only

A couple of days ago I received a myspace message from an old acquaintance. Interestingly enough, it came out of nowhere and I have no idea why she was so annoyed, especially since I haven't heard or spoken to her for a year now. Anyways, read it for yourself and laugh with me.

Arlene,

Quite a few of my contacts have been associating myself with STASH magazine and I want you and Nino to make it absolutely clear from now on that there is no association whatsoever. I work for Rolling Stone, The Source, and Mass Appeal, and my contacts have been linking me to a magazine that - although strongly mimics the intellectual property of that I vastly contributed at Ruckus - is not a caliber of "journalism" I stand behind. Hopefully, you can take care of this and not require me to personally contact those who have mentioned your name in conversation in the past year-and-a-half of STASH's conception. If you have any questions, please feel free to give me a call.

Krish



So to Krish, here is STASH's response to your message.


Dear Ms. Krish,

Thank you soo much for the email. Nino and I totally agree. We have decided that we will remove the cardboard cut out of you and your way cool hair out of our board room. We will also take your name plate off the door that we pretended lead to your office. We will also remove your photoshopped picture out of STASH's annual Xmas card. In addition, we will also have to ask for your half of the best friend necklace back. Unfortunetly if you don't "work" for us anymore, we can't be best friends anymore. I mean dream of what it would be like if a journalist of such caliber really did associate with STASH. Someone JUST like you! I mean you say "vastly"! Please feel free to tell the millions of people we told that you associated with us in addition to us being best friends forever that we are indeed not associated and the wedding is off.
