Help bum out Rove. Release 3\/3\/2010"},"content":{"rendered":"

Hi everybody!
\n
Last time I checked in<\/a>, was right after the East Bay Express article about Project: Courage and Consequence<\/a>. Our grassroots funded LP\/Digital Download record with the same title as Karl Rove<\/a>‘s book, set to come out the week before.<\/p>\n

Well, we did it.
\n

\n
Over $3,000 raised<\/a>, and the records are on their way. If you want to check it out you can download it right now in any format you’d like<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The attention from Calitics was well timed and much appreciated.
\n
however, we still need your help!
\n
For one thing, if you live in the bay area, you can attend the record release show at the Elbo Room on wednesday:
\n

\n
Also, we are now to the FUN PART, where we get to mess with Karl Rove big time.
\n
More under the cut:<\/p>\n

Dear Internet User and Karl Rove Hater,<\/p>\n

By now we figure you’ve either bought the album<\/a>, are not going to ever buy
\n
the album or are waiting for payday to buy the album so this isn’t a push
\n
for record sales or downloads<\/a>. It’s also not a push for you to attend the
\n
vinyl release show at the Elbo Room on March 3rd<\/a> – we know you’ll be there
\n
if you can make it. No, this is a letter asking for help in the real mission
\n
of this project. We hope that you can take a small amount of time out of
\n
your day to seed the name and website of this compilation on as many places
\n
as possible around the internet.<\/p>\n

You see, the real mission of this project is to fill up search results for
\n
Karl Rove’s book Courage and Consequence<\/a> with our vinyl compilation of songs
\n
of the same name. Maybe even confuse a few right-wingers to buy it out of
\n
curiosity or their lack of reading comprehension. Since the mp3s are free to
\n
download<\/a>, we are offering something as well.<\/p>\n

I guess in some way you could say that every band, project, art show, etc
\n
needs promotion like this in this internet age and you’d be right – but this
\n
time our fish is big and evil and his book is an insult and he needs to be
\n
fried. It may not seem like much but we sincerely hope it works. It also depends on you and people like you.<\/p>\n

Here are some very easy things you can do. If you want to. If you’re still
\n
reading this. Oh please, please keep reading this. I worked so hard on it.<\/p>\n

Do you frequent a forum? Please use the appropriate area in your forum to
\n
post information about the compilation (an example is provided below) and
\n
links. Do you have a Reddit, Digg, Tumblr, Stumblr, Total Fark, Something
\n
Awful, Last.fm, Google Buzz, Notcot, Wonkette, TPM, Freep (you sick puppy), or
\n
De.li.cious account? It would help quite a bit if you could post and\/or rate
\n
our website link in these different areas. (links for some provided below).
\n
There’s no reason you can’t sign up for these accounts just to rate these
\n
links, either. It takes very little time and you do not generally have to
\n
put in any personal info. Ask your fellow web 2.0 buddies to up rate, thumbs
\n
up and like as well. They like you, they’ll do it. If there are other sites
\n
you frequent around the web that allow open posts to promote a project or
\n
share interesting stories – please feel free to do so. Don’t ask for permission, just do it!<\/p>\n

Do you like the YouTubes? Below is a list of links to fake videos of each
\n
of the compilations songs<\/a>. Please log in and rate these videos Awesome! and
\n
even favorite them if you like. Google runs youtube now and they weight
\n
their video results by views and by rating so please! it only takes a moment
\n
to do this, and when this inevitably hits the radar of the right wingers, we all know the comments will be a battleground anyway.
\n
If you’re some sort of weirdo and do not like the songs, rate
\n
them Awesome! anyway. Don’t worry, the internet police won’t know.<\/p>\n

Hey, I bet you have a blog. Do us a favor and make an open post containing
\n
some or all of the information below. I’m sure your readers will be thrilled
\n
at the content you are providing them.<\/p>\n

Facebook. Yeah, yeah, we’ve already done a lot on facebook – it helped us
\n
receive at least 50% of the funding (and music and ideas) for this project.
\n
Frankly, we are a little worried about FB fatigue and are therefore
\n
reluctant to keep posting on OUR pages about it. But you! You hardly ever
\n
post anything – why not do us a solid and make a post linking to the main
\n
web page. In fact, if you’re an infrequent Facebook user, it would help a
\n
lot. If you’re worried about conservative family members or friends getting
\n
offended well…that’s just a bonus.<\/p>\n

Are you an e-mail forwarder? I’m sorry. I really am. BUT, in this instance
\n
it might help us. Forward away. Hell, forward this email as is and maybe
\n
more people will join in the fight to push Karl Rove’s book Courage and
\n
Consequence to the 2nd page of Google results. A person can dream, can’t
\n
they?<\/p>\n

Final request. Let us know what you’ve done! Send me an email<\/a> or message
\n
with a link to your post or forward so that I may add your efforts to the
\n
list and keep them going. Especially let us know for sites that allow
\n
ratings and I’ll add those links to this email and the website.<\/p>\n

Thank you and screw Karl Rove’s book.<\/p>\n
