THE FOLLOWING IS A LIST OF EMAIL INTRODUCTIONS I’VE RECEIVED
-To Whom It May Concern
-Dear Rando
-Dear Mr. Michael
-Dear JMC Aggregate
-Dear Jordan Michael C. Aggregate
-Dear JMC Aggregate/Todd P
-Hi Michael!
-Yo, Aggro gate!
-Hheeeeyyyyyyyyyy man
-Hey I’m a punk band from NYC how can I get on one of your shows?
My name is Jordan Michael AKA jordanmichaelMICHAELJORDAN AKA Jordan Michael Iannucci AKA Jordan Michael AMC AKA DJJMMJAMC AKA JMC Aggregate AKA World Dance Champion AKA Jordan Michael, also your sister’s sister FORMERLY KNOWN AS JM of JM RAMBO…
Uhhhh… I curate/promote/manage a lot of shows in New York, and by and large I work entirely with people I am friends with, people I intend to be friends with and people who are friends of friends I already have. Currently, over my entire show booking career I have netted a loss of $200, although if I only counted 2012 then I have earned profit slightly less than $500. Needless to say, I don’t make a lot of money from this…
(normally I earn $10 to $50 a show, or loose $100)
IF YOU ARE READING THIS I ASSUME THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
-I don’t know you, and you don’t know me, except maybe peripherally.
-You live in or plan on traveling to the greater New York City area.
-You, like many artists, need to seek people out to work with you, and not the other way around.
-You are staring at a computer screen, tolerating me writing like this.
Why? It really sucks getting spammed by all these strangers begging for shows. Not just because these people clearly have no idea who I am or what I do other than it is vaguely related to shows, but because I feel guilty that I IGNORE ALL OF THEM. Realistically, I don’t have time to listen to every band who emails me, and even if I did it is far too many bands to listen to and make a qualified opinion about. What am I going to do? Respond to 80% of these people and say, “Hey man, saw your email and I just wanted to say you guys are really OK! Want to open up for Psychic Ills!?”
Most bands aren’t bad… Most art isn’t bad… Most things aren’t bad… Most things are just OK. There is nothing wrong with being OK. As a matter of fact, you should strive to be OK. But if most things around are just OK and until there is FINALLY a standardized and ultimate system of judging art and music… I’d rather just deal with the people I like, and the people I am inspired by, who are mostly my friends and the people around me. Sssssooooo I guess I need to make more friends. No more anonymous emails. No more not responding to potential opportunities. Do You want to play a show? Well, I want to be friends with you. If you want to play a show email jm@jmcaggregate.com with the subject line “RE: THPS CHALLENGE” and we’ll schedule a playdate…
DA RULES:
-We play Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 or 4 at my apartment in Ridgewood, Queens.
-You send a member of your band, or if you are planning a tour, a local representative for you or your band.
-No cheat codes or unlocked abilities.
-Players must play with the skater default or adjust skills on equal intervals.
-We play a game of HORSE with the word set to spell “BEETHOUSAND.”
-2 out of 3 wins. -If you win I will book you a show.
-If I win we need to go to Classic Deli & Grocery on Seneca and Ramsey and you buy me a salsalito turkey sandwich with extra meat, three pepper colby jack cheese with lettuce, tomatoes and mayo on a hero. ($6 value) -I reserve the right to not book you if you win but I think you’re a jerk.
-I have 4 months to find or put together a show that is good for you. This does not entitle you to add yourself to whichever show of mine you wish.
Seriously,
-JM+
