A New Song For The Modern Librarian

by Indie Pop Band SNMNMNM

 

SNMNMNM

 


 

Librarians have appeared in pop culture as shushers, spinsters, even sex symbols. What about solvers of great conundrums, masters and mistresses of organization, purveyors of intellectual freedom?!

 

"Addy Will Know" avoids the stereotypes. Serving as a musical tribute to the modern librarian, it is about  a real librarian who leads a lost  patron to the four books he is looking for. The names of the books are never mentioned, but as a kind of puzzle, the song itself includes call numbers that correspond to the books hinted at in the verses.

 

Since "Addy Will Know" is essentially a song about you, the modern librarian, we want you to participate!

 

 

1. Be in our video!

 

Record yourself singing the song at work or school, upload your video to sendspace / yousendit /etc, and then email us the link. We will edit your video with all the others, creating a video collage of modern librarians.

 

 

2. Enter our contest!

 

Be one of the first 10 librarians to identify the books of the call numbers mentioned in the song and you will win a copy of the new cd "Crawl Inside Your Head." Read our contest rules and then email your answers here. Once the winners are chosen we will post their names here on the wiki. 

 

UPDATE: We have 8 winners as of 9:03pm on 9/6/07 There are 3 more chances to win!

 

 

3. Get your local college radio station to play the song.

 

"Addy" will hit the college airwaves September 3, 2007. Contact your local college or university radio station now and request that they "ADD ADDY!" from SNMNMNM's "Crawl Inside Your Head." You can find contact information for the stations in your area at: http://www.quadphonic.com

 

Help us give librarians the recognition they deserve! Post the link to this wiki [addywillknow.pbwiki.com] to the listservs and blogs you contribute to. 

 

UPDATE: Top Ten CMJ Add! #8 college music add for the week of 9/3/2007 with over 42 stations adding it to their playlists.

 

 

 

Hope you like the song!

 

-Seamus and Mark and Matt and Matt
