Mixposure.com is Proud to Announce an Evening with Grammy Nominated Artist Linda Chorney!

It is a great pleasure to announce that Linda Chorney will be with us on the Showcase of Independent Artists broadcast this coming Tuesday evening at 8 PM EST, and also will be with us on Sunday, December 22nd starting at 2 PM EST. Linda will be with us on line for an interview both days. 

We will be discussing what it was like to be the first independent artist to garner a Grammy nomination for Album of the Year with her album, 'Emotional Jukebox'.  During the show we will also be tracking this amazing album while Linda and I talk about the various blockades that the Grammy organization has constructed so that an independent artist does not get into the mix in the future. 

This will be a very eye opening experience for all independent artists. This will speak to the need for further organization of the artists while working with each other in order to make a mark in a musical world that now feels threatened by the independents.  This should be an amazing nite of music and discussion that will leave us wanting more. 

I was there at the beginning of Linda's journey when she got the nomination and the excitement that was generated with the accomplishment and know that she has a lot to say.  She also has a new book about the experience that we will be discussing.  Tune in for a memorable evening with a seasoned professional singer/songwriter.  Linda Chorney is one of a kind.

A huge congratulations for Elektronz  for being the Mixposure.com Artist of the Month! Please stop by and visit his page and checkout some tunes!

Congratulations to Oeyvita for having the Mixposure.com Song of the Week! Please have a listen to the tune Cautiously here .

Just a few things everyone. 

Song Downloads are now in place again. Sorry for the delay. If a song is for sale, the download button will never appear and will not be able to be downloaded. When you create or modify a song, you will see an "allow song download" checkbox. It is checked by default to allow song downloads. If you are not selling the song, you still have the option to disable song downloads by unchecking the box.

Embedding Audio is now available for Facebook by clicking the Share Button on the song details page. Here is the one catch though. It appears there is a bug on facebook where the player works on the wall but not on the profile page. We thought it was something we were doing but I found posts that were made today from others experencing the same issue. Hopefully Facebook will fix this soon.

Thanks,

Todd

It is coming up on that time of year again where we start looking for Holiday Song Submissions! This has been a tradition around Mixposure for several years now and one that has become a favorite. 

If you are new to Mixposure, here is how this works. Create a Holiday song in any genre. It can be comedic like Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer or as serious as Handel's Messiah. It does not require vocals. All we ask is that you have some fun doing it!

Once you have your song completed, please use a a genre of "Holiday Songs 2013" so we can find them easily. 

One of the questions that always comes up is, Can I Do a Cover? As long as the song is the the Public Domain  feel free!

Pleas epost if you have any questions.

Thanks,

Todd

Congratulations to Danielle Bloom for having the Mixposure.com Song of the Week! Check out the tune I Give Up here !

Bio: 

Being a preacher’s daughter didn’t stop Danielle Bloom from having dreams of being a kick-ass, hard driving, Rock-n-roll Goddess. Sure, Danielle grew up singing in the choir and touring the church festival scene, but she shed her choir robes for corsets and cut-offs and hit the rock scene hard, never looking back. 

Armed with a long resume of music behind her, (Danielle cut a pop record at the a...ge of 16 and while still a teenager, she belted out the National Anthem during sporting events including opening for the Atlanta Braves), Ms. Bloom moved to Nashville where she honed her powerhouse rock chops and mastered the fine art of no-nonsense rock and roll songwriting. Collaborating with a range of writers,including her brother Aaron Julison (bassist for Kid Rock) Danielle has crafted a catalog of gritty, introspective and telling songs that weave together the story of Danielle Bloom. "I've written about things I've gone through personally and the way I'm feeling at that moment in my life. I want to live as authentically as I can and hope to inspire others to do the same." 

Not only do you feel the authenticity in her songwriting, but you see it in her raw, in-your-face live performances. Often compared to Janis Joplin or Joan Jett, Danielle not only displays incredible voice theatrics, but her stage presence is felt from the first row, right through the front door. Danielle says that her "favorite part of this musical journey is performing. I love being on stage and rocking it out.” And rocking it out is exactly what she does. From her funky moves to her unique musical style and out of this world costumes, Danielle proves that rock-n-roll is not just a man’s game, but it’s also for chicks with six-inch platforms and cat suits. 

Underneath the skin-tight hot pants and steely black eyes, there is a soft side to Danielle Bloom. She is on a mission to inspire women “to stand up and be strong. I want to encourage them to know that they are beautiful and amazing." She is committed to doing more than just entertain her audience, which she does with sizzle, but Danielle is also determined to engage, inspire and change the mindset of anyone within earshot. “I want to inspire people in a positive way with my music. We are all capable of anything.” 

Danielle fills her shows and her music with the passion with which she lives her own life. Her upcoming release is laced with her passions. These messages manifest in songs like "Revolution," which encourages a revolution of authenticity. In it, Danielle sings, "Stop complaining 'bout your situation/ Let's start a revolution, you and me." "Tell Me Why" is a powerful song that takes womanizers to task and encourages women to rely on their intuition and independence, and not a man to determine their worth. Ultimately, she classifies the album as being about self-reflection, but Danielle’s ability to bare her soul through her music, expresses a collective wisdom that can resonate with anyone, no matter their situation

We have changed the Private Message system to be like it was before so you can now message anyone in the system. If I have to start managing a ton of spam then we will need to address this issue again at that time.

Please let me know if you have any issues!

Thanks,

Todd

I write songs that mean something to me. sometimes this can be brutally honest but that usually happens when the connection is strong. I try to keep it simple, as true to the spirit as possible, and let the song come through. these are all channelled songs, coming out of a deep, hypnotic, musical meditation..

I was able to find a backup of the old database containing song info and lyrics and they were added back in today. If those fields were already added by you, we made a decision to not overwrite the field. I know this was a bad over site on my part so I am glad we were able to get them added back in. Todd
