If you want to send a CD, just send it. While I do appreciate the thought, you don’t have to ask permission. Do not send a CDR or any CD with a paper label. You don’t have to send your fancy, and expensive, press kit. I’m reviewing the music, not the image.
If you want to submit your new CD release for review, here’s the address:

If mailing from outside Canada, please mark the value on the customs form as ncv (no commercial value) or assign a very low value and list the CD as a sample. If you fail to do these things and the CD arrives with duty owing, I will return it. I cannot afford to pay duty for a project which already leaves me out of pocket.
You reviewed Chuck Cheeseman’s Campfire CD last year. I am the percussionist that actually played those irritating bongos. They bugged the crap outta me too. The producer(chuck) asked for bongos. What was I supposed to do, tell him that he didn’t really want bongos, but some other word that means drums of somesort? No, he had me overdub the stupid bongos on some tempo shifting strummy guitar. He also made them way too loud in the mix. Thing is, I played on only 3 of the 12 tracks and only played bongos on one tune.
You said most of the tunes have bongos. They don’t.
That’s like saying, a rotund bearded man ate most of my pizza, when he only had one slice. I agree with your criticism, but not your math.

Hi Bel
I apologize for the delay in answering. Circumstances have kept me from working on this blog for quite some time. For reasons of time and energy, I do not review EPK’s, burned discs, or anything but a full release. If you’d like to send me a CD by TroubleKarmaFlow, I’ll be pleased to receive it but give no guarantees it will be reviewed in the near future.
Thanks for the compliments.
Peace & Love.
Bob
