Des e-mails et des professionnels

18 octobre 2010By

Comme la suite d’une série qu’on pourrait consacrer aux “suicides internautiques1”, entamée avec l’exemple de Bradford Cox, je vous propose ici une plongée dans les arcanes de la promotion radio et de cet incroyable outil qu’est la mailing-list.

Tout a commencé par cet e-mail de promotion reçu sur la boîte mail de l’équipe de programmation musicale de  la radio Prun’ dont je fais partie à mes heures perdues :

———————————————————————
De : **@chiwawafanclub.com
Subject : CHIWAWA – Watermark – press release
Pour :  ***@chiwawafanclub.com
———————————————————————

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Hello,

Hope by now you have had the chance to review Chiwawa’s latest release, “Watermark” – Chiwawa’s fifth studio album.
Perhaps you have already added the singles Calma Calma and Don’t Twist My Mind to your radio and personal iTunes’ playlists.
Perhaps you’ve decided to pass on it.
Or perhaps this is the first you hear of it.
Either way, we’d really appreciate your feedback.
Looking forward to it!
Sincerely and musically yours,
Krassy Halatchev
(for Chiwawa)
A ce stade, rien d’anormal, le nombre d’e-mails de ce genre étant franchement conséquent : envoyer et recevoir des courriers électroniques à tort et à travers est une réalité à laquelle nous sommes confrontés quotidiennement, dans nos vies privées, et surement plus encore au niveau professionnel. Et puisque internet a été déclaré Eldorado des musiciens amateurs  à la recherche de disques d’or, les boîtes mails des diffuseurs potentiels tels que les radios,  sont les réceptacles de toutes sortes de sollicitations.

Tout cela pour dire que l’envoi d’e-mails en masse et l’inscription non désirée de destinataires à une liste de diffusion est, bien que déplorable, assez courante. Et si l’on apprend vite à détecter le niveau d’amateurisme et le sérieux de l’expéditeur au premier coup d’œil (est-ce un groupe autoproduit, distributeur professionnel, promoteur ou agent improvisé), conserver une boîte mail sans trop de messages non-lus reste une guerre de tous les instants.

De là à dire que travailler dans l’industrie musicale équivaut à passer son temps rivé sur sa boîte mail, il n’y a qu’un pas.
Véritable lieu commun social actuel, l’e-mail et ses déclinaisons me semblent être des objets d’étude majeurs, par
exemple en ce qui concerne cet hypothétique changement de donne entre amateur et professionnel lié au
numérique et au web.

Ainsi, ce qu’on pourrait appeler amateurisme devient rapidement indélicatesse lorsqu’une newsletter est envoyée plusieurs fois de suite, quand la liste des destinataires n’est pas cachée (parfait pour le spam), sans compter l’usage intempestif de la touche “Répondre à tous”.

En l’occurrence, cet e-mail de promotion est adressé à une liste de contacts (visiblement une majorité de radios), via une mailing-list apparemment non-règlementée. C’est à dire qu’il suffit d’envoyer l’e-mail à l’adresse de la mailing-list pour que celui-ci soit transmis à toutes les adresses qu’elle renferme, sans nécessiter d’autorisation de la part d’un administrateur.

Du mardi 12 octobre 2010 à 22h23 jusqu’au jeudi 13 octobre à 01:32 (heure française), la boîte mail sur laquelle j’ai pu suivre l’intégralité du suicide radio-internautique du groupe Chiwawa, a reçu 148 e-mails générés par cette mailing-list.

Pour n’insister que sur un aspect, on voit dans ce qui suit comment le degré d’appropriation de l’outil internet permet d’opérer une distinction entre amateurs et professionnels, mais aussi entre les membres de “la profession”. On pourrait par exemple, imaginer une typologie des radios et de professionnels en présence suivant le type de réponses émises (ceux qui ne comprennent pas grand chose à ce qu’il se passe, ceux qui s’en offusquent ou ceux qui s’en amusent).
Mais plutôt que de tenter cela, je préfère restituer ici de la manière la plus correcte et lisible l’ensemble de ce thread2, pour la livrer à votre analyse.  (Notez que pour des raisons évidentes, les adresses mail n’apparaissent pas – je tiens néanmoins à dire que certains liens hypertextes demeurent actifs et que je ne saurais vous conseiller de les visiter).
Ainsi, je vous laisse le plaisir de découvrir les mails qui suivirent l’annonce de la sortie du nouvel album de Chiwawa.
En espérant que cela inspirera les lecteurs de Cultures Sonores, la section commentaire vous attend en bas de page…

If someone else wants to be removed, just reply to Chiwawa. By “replying all”, everyone on the list gets the same message, so those who want to be removed from the list actually create more mail clutter than Chiwawa. ;-)

Hi Floyd,

I suspect that someone is forwarding our email on to you both, as I cannot find any record of your addresses.

We use a challenge/response system for subscriptions, so an address can only subscribe after they have answered a confirmation email. This stops someone else adding addresses to the list without permission.

Are you able to forward me the exact email you got, and I will try to work out where it is coming from?

Name:People against CHIWAWA

Category:MusicGeneral

Description:

A group joined together in their dislike of the band CHIWAWA for the following reasons: 1) Using all caps for the band name is dumb, 2) The alternative spelling of chihuahua is dumber still, and 3) Creating a vast email list containing the addresses of who-knows-how-many radio people, etc. WITHOUT FIRST ASKING FOR THEIR PERMISSION, and then setting it up in such a way that mass replies to EVERYONE ON THE LIST are inevitable, well, that’s the dumbest thing of all.

———————————————————————
Subject : RE: CHIWAWA – Watermark – press release

There’s a bumper in here about how not to submit your music… Right up there with the ones that arrive in cardboard with the name written in sharpie. Yeah, I’ll listen to that someday…

Whoever  set up this mailing list (with, I can only assume, a purchased  marketing list) did so poorly. Somewhere a very negligent webmaster  should be fired…
Funny for a bit, sure. Stupid and a PR disaster, absolutely.

Now annoying, indeed. Cheers to all from Phoenix, Arizona!!! Yeah, radio!!!

Subject : Pirate Cat Radio Pledge Drive

One year ago, Pirate Cat Radio 87.9fm was fined $10,000 by the FCC for broadcasting without at license from the FCC. Since then, Pirate Cat  Radio has left an empty spot on our radio dials leaving the inter-webs as the only place Pirate Cat Radio could be heard.
KPDO 89.3fm in Pescadero took some Pirate Cat shows and re-broadcasted them. With Pirate Cat Radio’s help, KPDO has become voice for the residents of the Pescadero area. But this again leaves Pirate Cat Radio short of a permanent home on the radio dial. San Francisco needs Pirate Cat Radio back on the air, to help the voices of thousands of others to be heard and this needs to be done legally. Impossible? There is a way! The founder of Pirate Cat Radio has found a license for a full power legal radio station, that Pirate Cat Radio can use. The only obstacle: $60,000.00 usd That’s where you come in! We need you to help by making a pledge on Kickstarter.com http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1736997847/bring-pirate-cat-radio-back-to-your-radio-dial What makes Pirate Cat Radio so special?

I don’t get why some one states to stop replying when they replied to make that statement therefore breaking the point they were trying to make.

This has been unbelievable.. I have not laughed this hard in a LONG time.  Thank you to all of you who replied to all even though no one really replied to all at all.

My shameless plugs… We do a network of Christian Internet Radio Stations and we use Melaleuca to help fund it all.  I’ve joined the “People against CHIWAWA” group on Facebook which now has an amazing 45 members and am ROTFLOL at the comments there as well.

..and oh yeah.. keep me on the list, if for no other reason to follow what happens next.

I promise this will be my last post to this ridiculous email thread, but I just wanted to make sure you saw the “People against CHIWAWA” Facebook group that I’ve created. The Facebook page for the actual band CHIWAWA only has 278 fans. “People against CHIWAWA” already has 45 in less than an hour. My goal is to top them by the end of the day. You can join here if you’re so inclined:

Thank you for your indulgence, and please support People against CHIWAWA!
