Hey, I won an ASCAPLUS Award! For my Sensitive Chaos recorded and live work, in the Popular Music category:

WHO IS ELIGIBLE
The ASCAPLUS Awards Program is for writer members of any genre whose performances are primarily in venues not surveyed; and/or writer members whose catalogs have prestige value for which they would not otherwise be compensated.

(This means that performers like me who receive lots of radio airplay from Public or College Radio stations that is not surveyed via ASCAP surveys, or play in venues off the beaten path like coffee houses, planetariums, and the like.)

WHO DETERMINES AWARDS
ASCAPLUS Awards are determined annually by a panel of distinguished music experts who are neither members, nor employees of ASCAP, and are completely independent in their Award adjudication.

(In my case, Peter Filichia [theater journalist and critic of the Newark Star Ledger and the website Theatre.com], Peter Koopnows, Brian Mansfield [Nashville correspondent for USA Today and is the author of Remembering Patsy. He has penned liner notes for several albums, including titles from Emmylou Harris, Merle Haggard, and Conway Twitty], Melinda Newman [Melinda Newman is the West Coast bureau chief for Billboard Magazine], and Pat Prescott [radio disc jockey and co-host of the Brian McKnight Morning Show with Pat Prescott on KTWV 94.7 The Wave in Los Angeles].)

HOW AWARDS ARE DETERMINED
ASCAPLUS Awards are based on panel review of recent activity of writer applicants. Each applicant is considered on merit and in the context of all others applying. ASCAPLUS is not a contest or competition involving the critical evaluation of any specific work or works. The primary basis for panel determinations is the activity generated by each member’s catalog, with emphasis on recent performances.

(I play and record, therefore I exist.)

So, I may not receive any royalties from all my radio airplay or internet airplay, but I will get a few bucks from this award. Who’d a thunk it?

All totaled this year, Echoes has been playing the title track Leak from Sensitive Chaos Leak on their Tuesday, January 16, 2007 & Sunday, January 21, 2007 playlist, Tuesday, January 23, 2007 & Sunday, January 28, 2007 playlist, Tuesday, February 13, 2007 & Sunday February 18, 2007 playlist, Wednesday, February 28, 2007 & Sunday March 4, 2007 playlist, Wednesday, March 21, 2007 & Sunday March 25, 2007 playlist, Thursday, March 29, 2007, Friday, April 27, 2007, Tuesday, August 28, 2007 and Sunday, September 2nd, 2007, and “Android Cat Dreams Of Mice” to the Monday, January 29, 2007 & Sunday, February 4, 2007 playlist, Tuesday, February 6, 2007 & Sunday, February 11th playlist, Friday, April 13, 2007, and Wednesday, April 25, 2007 and Sunday, April 29, 2007.

If you do the math, that’s 130 stations times 21 plays each. Equals 2730 plays via Echoes alone. Very cool and very welcomed!
