and if you have a youtube account and can uprate these to 5 stars, favorite, maybe make a nice comment, that totally helps the project of bumming out Rove!
Bumming out Karl Rove and raising awareness that this asshole is still out there spreading his lies and evil.
Dear Internet User and Karl Rove Hater,
By now we figure you've either bought the album, are not going to ever buy the album or are waiting for payday to buy the album so this isn't a push for record sales or downloads. No, this is a letter asking for help in the real mission of this project. We hope that you can take a small amount of time out of your day to seed the name and website of this compilation on as many places as possible around the internet.
You see, the real mission of this project is to fill up search results for Karl Rove's book Courage and Consequence with our vinyl compilation of songs of the same name. Maybe even confuse a few right-wingers to buy it out of curiosity or their lack of reading skills. Since the mp3s are free to download, we are offering something as well.
I guess in some way you could say that every band, project, art show, etc needs promotion like this in this internet age and you'd be right - but this time our fish is big and evil and his book is an insult and he needs to be fried. It isn't much but we sincerely hope it works.
Here are some very easy things you can do. If you want to. If you're still reading this. Oh please, please keep reading this. I worked so hard on it.
Twitter is very effective in getting out the word. Tweet and retweet the comp's name with the keywords book, karl rove, courage and consequence and the web address. These tweets show up on feeds under articles discussing Karl Rove's book on many news sites and in google search results.
Do you frequent a forum? Please use the appropriate area in your forum to post information about the compilation (an example is provided below) and links. Do you have a Reddit, Digg, Tumblr, Stumblr, Total Fark, Something Awful, Google Buzz, Notcot, Wonkette, TPM, Freep (you sick puppy), or De.li.cious account? It would help quite a bit if you could post and/or rate our website link in these different areas. (links for some provided below). There's no reason you can't sign up for these accounts just to rate these links, either. It takes very little time and you do not generally have to put in any personal info. Ask your fellow web 2.0 buddies to up rate, thumbs up and like as well. They like you, they'll do it. If there are other sites you frequent around the web that allow open posts to promote a project or share interesting stories - please feel free to do so.
Do you like the YouTubes? Below is a list of links to fake "videos" of each of the compilations songs. Please log in and rate these videos Awesome! and even favorite them if you like. Google runs youtube now and they weight their video results by views and by rating so please! it only takes a moment to do this. If you're some sort of weirdo and do not like the songs, rate them Awesome! anyway. Don't worry, the internet police won't know.
Hey, I bet you have a blog. Do us a favor and make an open post containing some or all of the information below. I'm sure your readers will be thrilled at the content you are providing them.
Facebook. Yeah, yeah, we've already done a lot on facebook - it helped us receive at least 50% of the funding (and music and ideas) for this project. Frankly, we are a little worried about FB fatigue and are therefore reluctant to keep posting on OUR pages about it. But you! You hardly ever post anything - why not do us a solid and make a post linking to the main web page. In fact, if you're an infrequent Facebook user, it would help a lot. If you're worried about conservative family members or friends getting offended well...that's just a bonus. Send this page out for your friends to fan.
Are you an e-mail forwarder? I'm sorry. I really am. BUT, in this instance it might help us. Forward away. Hell, forward this email as is and maybe more people will join in the fight to push Karl Rove's book Courage and Consequence to the 2nd page of Google results. A person can dream, can't they?
Final request. Let us know what you've done! Send us message with a link to your post or forward so that I may add your efforts to the list and keep them going. Especially let us know for sites that allow ratings and I'll add those links to this email and the website.
Thank you and screw Karl Rove's book.
