Bishoff Online & Photo Editor Jason Tanenbaum, a vice president of Wondergoat Records LLC, discusses the problems and joys of running an independent label, as musicians practice in the background. LABEL continued from page 7 Wondergoat has responded with cre ative solutions. On the one hand, the label works closely with local busi nesses to earn sponsorships for con cert events. Rusell Tanenbuam, Jason's brother and co-owner of Wondergoat, understands that effective promotion requires good public relations. "It's a community-based scene here in Eugene," he said. "Using the music as a launching pad, you can really tap in to what the community has to offer." The problem of getting CDs on the shelves, however, has been much more difficult. As Jason explains, it's "No distribution company will pick you up unless they've heard of you, but they're not going to hear of you if they don't pick you up... It's one of those Catch-22s." — Jason Tanenbuam Co-owner, Wondergoat Records LLC. extremely tough, as a new company, to break into the music business. "No distribution company will pick you up unless they've heard of you, but they're not going to hear of you if they don't pick you up," Tanenbaum said. "It's one of those Catch-22s." Thaddeus Moore, owner of Sprout City Studios in Eugene, handles all the mixing and recording of Won dergoat artists. He recently helped a local unsigned band, A Mind Like Yours, complete the production of its new EP, "Everyone Must Parlour." "Thaddeus surprised us with ideas * we hadn't thought of," Patrick Hurs ley,drummer for A Mind Like Yours, said. "Like bringing in an a cappella group to add harmony to the end of one of our songs." You can contact Sprout City Studios and Wondergoat Records through their websites, www.sproutcity.com and www.wondergoat.com. Kevin Miller is a freelance reporter for the Emerald. NYBURG continued from page 7 who made a couple of good movies (and lots and lots of bad ones, but we'll forget that as well) so let's give him a few magazine covers and a cou ple hour-long television specials. It's not that I have anything against Bob Hope. But praising the bland over the brilliant is a sad trend in this culture and I feel no need to participate in it just because the bland was more popular while in the land of the living. Sometimes people even get praised for the wrong reasons. Jimi Hendrix was a great guitarist.

He was just a great guitarist who did some cool stuff with distortion and feed back. Bruce Lee's movies were hooky and often poorly edited. John F. Kennedy was more charismatic than effective, once viewed in hindsight. All of these people died a little sooner and more dramatically than expected, and now they hold this unattainable status that you can only reach though your own prema ture demise. So obviously death pays off. It would be nice to see agents start sug gesting that their clients die in tragic airplane crashes so as to move a 492 E. 13th 686-2458 For the week of July 23rd!

It's probably for the best, because having to listen to the pathetically maudlin obituaries of dead celebrities would become a full-time job of every entertainment reporter. Considering my chosen profession, I don't think I could handle that sort of overdose. I might end up in a pine box myself and then you would have to listen to my obituary.
