zupe hits the nail on the head..great marketing tool and very honest. on a related note, derek sivers wrote a blog about the sale to discmakers. it's a great read and pretty inspiring:

looking forward to trying out this tool for my next project:

might be good, might not...but i'm gonna give it a try. it's definately a great time to be an independent artist. thank god for the internet, record labels are becoming obsolete, and i love it!!

i've been using cdbaby for about 6 years now and have never once had a problem. imho they are an excellent tool for independent musicians. after derick sivers (founder) sold it to discmakers i was a little concerned it might go downhill...but it hasn't. very musician-friendly.

we kind of sound like ccr meets the ramones with a sax added....we'll be playing from 10 to 11, then the rik golden band will be finishing out the night:

taking care of our veterans who have been neglected by the government is a great example of human decency. no argument there. i'm an active Sons of the American Legion member and i completey agree with the fact that our vets need to be supported in any way possible. and yes, our prioties do start in...

"We saw the world come to our aid back on 9/11," he said, and now New York wants to "make sure that the world comes to the aid of the Haitian people." i don't like to get into these kinds of talks, but, these PEOPLE need help. i have a mortgage and bills, and like everyone else, ...

fuckin' haitians! those bastards are takin' my money! God forbid we try to set an example of human decency. yeah i know.......there are MILLIONS of AMERICANS starving and freezing, take care of them first!! fuckin' haitians and their stupid eathquake came along and destroyed our sense of priority!! ...

i agree, this will be interesting. one of the things i'm loving about social networking, web 2.0 marketing, ect.. is the fact that nobody has any idea what to make of it yet. the powers that be are left scrambeling to figure out a way to "control" it. it was very interesting to see how muc...

looking for a baritone sax player to complete the lineup for a new project. 80% original material. Jeff Ingersoll of bonedog records has offered to put out a recording on his label. The sound is probably best described as Little Richard meets The Clash. Lineup so far: guitar/vocals drums bass piano/...

i feel extremely fortunate to have had the chance to know Chris over the past year or so.

great person. great drummer.

my sincere condolences to his friends and family.

great product advice in the previous posts. pedals and effects can be HIGHLY addictive. they can definately help.....the quest for great tone seems to be never ending. i've been playing for 20+ years and spent the first 15 having fun with different pedals. in my humble opinion, when it comes down to...

I feel people coming to this country should learn english, it's common sense and would probably provide them with more oppurtunities..but, keep in mind, the United States has never declared any language to be the "official language" of this country not sure how accurate/trustworthy this li...

polka bands rule, rock bands drool!!

my cat's breath smells like cat food.

i know that the former owners of the castle paid fees to ascap/bmi, they were able to afford the fees and still make a profit just like the thousands of other venues in this country. i'm really suprised that the present owner(s) didn't keep up with it...seriously, it's common knowlegde in this busin...

this is just my humble opinion..but the article, or whatever it is that was found on myspace in the first post has got to be one of the biggest piles of self-rightous bullshit i've read in a long time. thanks for the laugh! p.s. marauders, regrettes, and the kelvinators are at the castle pub tonight...

Man...I didn't like radio station owners before, and I F"N hate 'em now!

Thanks for everything you do for the local music scene Jim, it's sincerley appreciated. Like everyone else has been saying..they're assinine for making a decision like that.

the first band i was in that actually played in front of people was called bloody knuckles..we played (weaziled our way onto stage) at the holy name church festival in '89 or '90. we opened with our original smash hit "pigs suck" then busted into black flag's version of "louie louie&q...
