Get Your Music Featured

If you haven’t noticed the link in the sidebar of the front page, I’m looking for bands/solo artists to feature on this blog. I want to help connect bands with fans so if you want to promote your music, send an email with “artist promotion” in the subject line. Include in the body of the email the following information:

1. Links to your website
2. Links to your music for preview
3. A short bio ( < 300 words )
4. Links to graphic media that can be used in promotion

You will be featured on the front page for one week, and then moved to the ‘Features Artists’ page. It’s open to everyone to submit. Those selected to be featured will be contacted within one week (probably within 3 days really, but I got to cover my bases). Get out there and promote your band!

Can You Make a Record In One Month?

Go ahead … what’s stopping you? That’s the tag-line of The RPM Challenge; a one month, one album challenge in the vein of NaNoWriMo. This takes place in February so you have a little over two weeks to get your mojo going.

This is the challenge: record an album in 28 days, just because you can.

That’s 10 songs or 35 minutes of original material recorded during the month of February. Go ahead… put it to tape.

Don’t wait for inspiration – taking action puts you in a position to get inspired. You’ll stumble across ideas you would have never come up with otherwise, and maybe only because you were trying to meet a day’s quota of (song)writing. Show up and get something done, and invest in yourself and each other.

Anyone can come up with an excuse to say “no,” so don’t!

You’re Signed!

Ever wanted to be a record mogul? The Next Big Sound is a new music orientated site that allows you to help shape the future of unsigned acts. At its heart it is a promotional site for artists and bands, much like how MySpace is used now by musicians. The twist is that your popularity is rated not by the number of friends you have, but by the number of moguls (registered users) who’ve signed you onto their label. This difference is more than just semantics though. See, on a sites such as MySpace, registered users can add an unlimited amount of friends, on The Next Big Sound you may only add 10 bands to your label. This restriction means that your level of commitment in declaring that a band is good enough to be signed is not taken lightly. The artificial scarcity of signings assures that recommendations aren’t wasted like so many throw-away friend requests. Read more about the whole scheme on their About page.
