Over at The Tapedeck, Austin hip-hop wunderkind Curbside Jones has some some great advice for acts e-mailing blogs trying to get coverage. If you’ve read our Amplified articles, you know we’re all about helping artists learn ways to get further in the industry, and Curbside is dead on with his suggestions, specifically his reminder that making a music writer’s job easier is “key to getting them to write about your stuff.”

Curbside Jones is playing Holy Mountain on August 11th with Dark Time Sunshine, and we’ve embedded his new EP Wakeup Super! below for you to check it out.
