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.

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."

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."

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

some kind of demigod. 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

I doubt it will happen anytime soon,
because death can really kill one's
sex life. 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. That's
something I hope to never
inflict upon you, dear reader, if I
can help it.
