Humor me please, :). Pandora ~ It's my favorite place to listen to and discover music ~ try it & it'll be yours too. It's a free internet radio station that helps you discover music you like. You create your own stations by entering artists or song names & then it guesses (surprisingly well) at other songs you'll like. It adapts based on your input but you can also just skip any songs you don't like. You can share your stations w/ your friends or the whole world. Read about the bands you like & find ones that are similiar. Alternative Addiction ~ Alternative Music News, Listens, Shop, Contests, Dowloads, Established and Unsigned Bands Push Posters ~ Free Downloads ~ The name is a tad bit misleading. They do offer over 7500 different music posters by more than 1500 different artists. That's a whole lot of posters, & they've got all the varitions ( art prints, blacklight posters, canvas & even textile ones). But they offer so much more than even that! Too much to list here, basically all sorts of clothing items & jewerly, , cast badges, all the usual knick-kancks & even action figures. Who knew those even existed? The site is a treasure trove for those of us looking for unique items or obscure bands. Don't forget to checkout the clearance section! Free Downloads ~ Free Music, Movies, Posters and Videos from indie alternative bands MTV~ an unbelievable, almost overwhelming amount of music and tv related items, I like it for the purpose of playing full songs & videos by most mainstream bands for free. Also offers an ever changing selection of free music downloads from mainstream artists. Fuse tv ~ TV stations's websites w/ show info, an extensive music section with video, photos etc, contests & community features Synthesis Magazine ~ The music magazine's website. The contest section is worth noting b/c it's the easiest entry form I've found on the web - register once by providing your name & address & then just click enter for each of the 9 or so contests (hey, somebody has to win & even you don't want the shit, it has to worth something on eBay!) There is also a radio & store plus sections on tech, film, & music . Warped Tour ~ Tour Dates, contests and much more info re the bands playing and venues Salt Shaker Radio News ~ Radio News Feature Ferret Music - Hard Rock and Hardcore Alternative music. Label's website. The usual suspects + E-cards, play and dowload selected MP3 files ( available on each artist's page) + videos & a store.

The usual music, videos, tour dates + sign up to be on a street team and freebies in the section aptly titled "Free Shit." |
Are you a Musician? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Here's a few links to promotional deals for sites that sell equipments & supplies. Can't tell you all that much 'bout any of them b/c I lack the attention span to learn how to play anything, & usually sing offkey but even when I hit, my mom says I sound like a banshee & mom's always right, of course. :) Can tell you that they are affliate links, that I did check them out for legitmacy & then selected an assortment of popular links & anything that looked like a good deal (so may be worth the time to check out the site even if it's not the exact deal you want b/c like I said I'm not that familiar w/ making music so I might've, ok, probably did miss something that a super deal).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Are you a Song Writer? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ American Idol UNDERGROUND ~ Want to know what people thing of your songs? Of course you do! So put it up & get actual ratings & feedback. Of course, the "free account" for musicans let's you list bio information and photos. You've got to pay to submit a song, but it just might be worth it for you. Depends how good you think you are. If you pay up, you get aguaranteed a minimum of 200 spins on AIU’s online radio network and artists get profile pages, unlimited on-demand plays of their music, the ability to sell their music online and other resources that help them gain exposure. If you really just that good & get the high ratings, your songs get more airplay and the best songs from each genre win cash, equipment, artist promotion packages and other awards. Presumbly that means you'll be making some sales too. My advice would be to check it out first ~ listen & get a sense of how the ratings are playing out & whether you think you can make sales b4 shelling out the $. It's good advice, but truth be told I'd probably jump right in b/c I just love ratings & feedback on any I do ( hint, hint :) ) If you do go the sensible route join free as a 'music fan' then you can listen to & rate the songs. You might get lucky & win a prize b/c the more a user listens and rates songs, the better their chances to win prizes.
