Dear Passengers,

I know that people are skeptical about TAXI. I can't blame them because no company before us did what we do in an ethical way. Musicians are used to being ripped off. It still goes on today... maybe more so because the Internet makes it cheaper and easier.

I'm not going to give you the big pitch in this update of our Industry Listings. I'm merely going to give you three links and let you decide what your course of action will be.

BTW, If you're wondering how our convention went, here's a quote from our Forum:

"I just got back to Portland a short time ago and my head is spinning. Michael, you and I met very briefly early on in the Rally and I was hoping to be able to thank you in person for the unbelievably amazing event you organized. Probably 10 times a day I marveled at the number and quality of classes offered, the level of talent and generosity of the presenters and mentors, and the remarkable community that re-emerged and grew as the days went on. I am really, truly in awe.

I've been a Taxi member for several years, but this was my first Rally. All I can say is "WOW!"

Thanks so much, Michael."

We don't promise miracles. It might take a little time. But we do what we say and we won't rip you off. Don't let your fear of being rejected stop you from enjoying the benefits of belonging to TAXI.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Michael

Submission Policies

• You must be a current member of TAXI to submit your material. If you're not already a member, click here to find out how to join.
  
• The Submission Fee is $5.00 per song for every listing (unless otherwise noted). Listings that ask for up to three songs per listing would be $5, $10, or $15 based on whether you are submitting 1, 2, or 3 songs to that listing.
  
• You must include a self-addressed, stamped envelope with the proper amount of postage with each submission if you would like to receive a critique and/or have your tape/CD returned. Enclosing one SASE with a several submissions doesn't work. Multiple submissions go into a different bins or to different screeners as soon as we receive them, and are returned to you at different times.
  
• We notify you by postcard if forwarded for any listing--No SASE needed for forward notification.
  
• Late submissions slow everything down. We are very pleased to have significantly improved our listing turnaround time. We can't accept late submissions and stay efficient.
  
• You must use your official TAXI Music Submission Form with the BarCode information at the top. Roll up your burritos so that Bar Code is exposed and readable without having to unwrap or re-wrap your burrito. It's OK if your check covers the bar code, because we take it out before scanning the bar code anyway.
  
• Those of you who have seen the music room know what kind of volume we handle. All of these little rules help us to serve you better.
  
• Miguel's Tape Burrito
  (Always filling, Low Cal, Non-fat, Never delicious)

  Place the submission form face-down with the top pointing away from you. Place the lyric sheets, envelopes, etc. on top of it in the same fashion. Place the cassette near the bottom of the sheets, and roll it all up from bottom to top. The end result will give you a tape burrito that will be 8 1/2 inches wide, and have the girth of a cassette. The submission form will end up on the outside, and your name and the listing number will be readily visible for our data entry people. No folding of anything! Please tuck your checks in the rubber bands so they are easily found without unraveling the whole enchilada.
  

REMEMBER TO PLEASE INCLUDE A SELF-ADDRESSED STAMPED ENVELOPE WITH YOUR SUBMISSION IF YOU WANT A CRITIQUE BACK.

If you have material you would like critiqued without responding to a specific listing, you've come to the right place. Fill out the submission form with the song title(s) and author(s) as usual, but in place of the listing number write "CUSTOM" in capital letters.
Please include a note specifying the aspects you would like the listener to address.
For example, some members like to have their craft (lyrics, rhyme, structure, etc.) closely critiqued. Others want to know for which genre their writing is best suited (sorry, but we can't recommend specific listings for you to pitch to). Still others want a review of their photos, bios, package, etc.
The submission fee is $20 per song. Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope, and make sure to specify if you want the tape (or CD) back, or just a critique. Remember, these critiques are for your own edification and development and NOT targeted for a label or publisher, and therefore will not be forwarded.
