Just a thought about NFO and Yomamma's artistic talents. Why not design a postcard, order 5000 for about $300, split the costs into about $20 each and distribute to NFO members to leave at cafes, clubs, record stores, gigs, updates etc.

GET THE FUNK OUT!

I could help in lots of ways, with discpline and all thsi shit. BUt i got no money. Brazil is a poor country, a dollar here is expensive. There was a time when One real was equal One dollar.
But nowadays to buy one dollar you got to have more than 3 reais.

So i am sorry guys, i am young too. And I can't afford to spend money on nothing. And I still don't care to gain nothing. i only care about girls and music>

salles...speaking of Brasilian currency.

I have about 105,000 Cruzeiros. Is this currency still in effect, still worth anything. I'll send it to U if it is

It's not worth of one cent. eheheheh

LOL...don't worry Salles...Canadian $ is pretty much play $ too I'll incorporate the notes into a piece of art, call it NONCENTS.

GET THE FUNK OUT!

7salles the day is coming when u will know no poverty...

Everything is free if you don't mind working for it.

I think we can ALL support the cause online, but when it comes to investing money in the project, let's just let this thing ferment a few more sessions - let it build up on it's own, but keep throwing out ideas.

I hear ya...
$20 - a good bottle of wine...is difficult for starving artists...know it well. S'all good. Let it bubble...let it boil.

All this is true but Ive been trying to get my project of the ground for free for years. It was only when I put some cash in that I got some back. Just my personal experience, the internet is changing, you cant get so much for nothing these days

My Xperience also Lewis.

Otan's right too...let it sit on a low bubble for awhile and reduce t'il thick and phat. Then, when the web site is full tilt boogie...then I would seriously think it well worth a $20/p investment. $20 to GET THE WORD OUT, internatioanlly from all the different cities that you represent... with something visually appealing, that Yomamma can make peeps wanna put on their fridges :-)and in their bookmarks. Could prove to be future clientelle. U may be giving away free music but you can also build a captive audience that could prove to be quite lucrative for any other art related elements that you may bring into the venture. Now we could debate that the internet can do the same thing for free, but no one will ever convince me that the virtual internet is better than the real touchy-feely thing.

Now I know that most Artists don't want to deal with this kind of business...they just wanna make sweet music and be recognized and respected for it...and this is obviously what this project is all about, but maybe it's a window to expand other artistic offerings too. Something you all can live on and debunk the starving artist theory.

Speaking of which - I want an NFO CD to check out! Whose ass do I need to kiss to get one?

Will U do an honest review Ian ?

ian said:

No ass kissing needed... Download it for free at www.NEWFUNKORDER.com

Red said:

I will! I'm a harsh critic, being a musician myself, but I'll be honest and fair

BigThing said:

Bah, I don't want MP3s, I want CD audio man!

ian said:

Thats where the CD audio is coming from, mp3s on a CD, same thing

cloud9mission said:

Yuck, MP3 quality sucks Good enough for listening on my PC, or through cheap speakers, or on a portable player, but it ain't good enough for me Any chance of putting together a proper CD audio release? I'll buy it then

Ian

LOL...I knew this was coming.

Red said:

Ah well, I guess I'll settle for MP3 then *sigh*

ian said:

ian - hold your horses. one of us is in the process of mastering all the songs for proper CD quality and stuff. I don't know how long it'll take, but all the songs on the current site are FROM mp3's, so, quality in, quality out... might as well just d/l them fer now, and wait til the real deal is ready to fly.

Hey that's good news...

I can appreciate the impracticalities of transferring massive uncompressed audio tracks around the net, but broadband is cheap nowadays so... it'd be cool if that came together.
