Check out this e-mail I got in my myspace inbox:

We are interested in featuring one of your songs on the next Coast 2 Coast Mixtape. Email: Coast2coastmixtapes@gmail. com for more info. Thanks

So I thought to myself, "sweet! my amazing music is going to be on a mixtape! Yes! This is my chance to spread the Leibya love around!" So, of course, I e-mailed them back asking for details.

Here's what they said: (it's really long so I bolded the important parts)

We go through myspace each day and offer a spot on our mixtapes to 2 artists a day that we feel would be a good addition to the mixtape and you were one of them. We have done mixtapes in the past with: DJ Khaled, Big Mike, DJ Kay Slay, Flo Rida, Obie Trice, Mick Boogie and a lot more. We are interested in letting you feature one of your songs on our upcoming project, "Def Jam's DJ DMA & Shadyville's DJ Domination Present: Coast 2 Coast Mixtape Vol. 22: Shadyville Edition - Hosted By DJ Noodles." If you buy 100 copies of the mixtape that you are featured on, you can get your track on it.

To get the spot, we need your track and payment for your 100 copies before the deadline at midnight on Saturday, March 22nd. The copies are $3.50 each plus $25 shipping so it's a total of $375. (It is an extra $100 for international shipping so its a total of $450 if you live outside of the U.S.) The track that you want to use is up to you and as long as you get your track and payment in before the deadline, your spot is guaranteed. Payment needs to be sent via Paypal.com to: lilfats@hirollerz.com. You can also pay via Paypal or Credit/Debit card by visiting the buy now page at http://www.hirollerz.com/coast2coast/Mixtapebuypage.htm If you cant pay through Paypal, you can send the cash through Western Union to: Kyle Hiersche in Portland, Oregon. Then send an email to: lilfats@hirollerz.com and let me know your full name and city and state you sent it from along with the western union transfer number and your track attached as an mp3 and then your all set.

We only offer this spot to 2 artists each day and out of those only the serious ones who get everything in before the deadline actually get a spot. Please understand that all talented independent artists that we offer this to - "say" they will get 100 copies just to get on a major mixtape - but hardly any of them actually will. That is why we have to make sure you purchase the mixtapes upfront. After you send your payment, send your track as an mp3 to the email: lilfats@hirollerz.com. Make sure your song is no longer than 3 minutes and make sure to name the file with the correct artist and track name. Also be sure to include your correct shipping address when you pay through Paypal and put your artist and track name in the "note" section of the payment along with your shipping address. Your track will then be featured on the mixtape and you will be sent 100 copies of the mixtape by April 14th. Looking forward to working with you.

Thanks,

Lil Fats

So I thought to myself, "sweet! what an amazing deal! i pay 400 bucks to have just one of my poetic, chick rock, folk songs on a compilation CD featuring other artists (J Khaled, Big Mike, DJ Kay Slay, Flo Rida, Obie Trice, Mick Boogie) just like me! And then I'll have 100 copies of it to sell! sweet!" So I wrote this back to them, and they never responded.

Weird....

Thank for supplying all of those details.

Please choose one:

I'm heading to Raonoke College Friday night to let the souls of young students get soaked in my poetic rain showers.

But if you're not a Raonoke student it's okay, you can get soaked in my poetic rain showers in NYC on Saturday.

Under St. Marks Theater
10:30 PM
I'll be singing and reading poems between some awesome improv comedy with Baby Grenade and Fat Penguin.

******************

And now here are some haikus that are dripping out of my mind and onto my solar powered computer right now.

Won't be drinking beer
On the day of St. Patrick's
Cause NO MEN are saints

*****************

Recycling is for
things. But also for the soul
when men get inside

*****************

I am a poet
My awe-some melodies they
just season my words


You're all worthy of a melody,

~Leibs
