I’ve got something to confess. Although I’m known for my fair-balanced impersonal moderation of Rock Town Hall, there are times in which I struggle to maintain my balance, times when I need to catch myself and say, Hey, it’s about them, not me!<\/em> Last night was one of those times.<\/p>\n

I had the following post ready to load, until a force that’s hard to explain made me think better of it. It’s not enough that I thought better of posting what I wanted to post; I feel compelled to share with you the depths to which I almost sunk…after the jump!<\/em>
\n
\nHere’s what I wrote and nearly posted to use Rock Town Hall – your<\/em> Rock Town Hall – for blatantly self-promotional purposes:<\/p>\n

HEAD FOR SALE:<\/strong> You can now order<\/a> the new Nixon’s Head<\/strong> album, Enemies List<\/em>, on CD<\/strong><\/a> or vinyl (w\/digital download)<\/strong><\/a>. Operators are standing by…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I thank whatever higher power stopped me from sinking that far! I probably would have told you about the ability to order the CD through CD Baby<\/a><\/strong> and, any day now, Not Lame<\/strong>. Man, that would have been lame.<\/p>\n

As an act of contrition, I promise to facilitate the promotional efforts of any active, contributing Townsperson who is on the verge of sinking to such self-promotional depths. Feel free to contact me if you’ve got your own new music ready to launch. We’ll make it easy for you to get the word out in a way that’s free of the shame I nearly<\/em> brought upon myself.<\/p>\n

Thanks for listening.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
