<p><span style="color: #cc99ff;"><span style="color: #bebebe; font-size: medium;">Same Song Title Madness</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cc99ff;"><span style="color: #bebebe;">The Same Song Title Madness is something we do a few times a year. Here is how it works. We have everyone submit a song title <a href="http://www.imusicscene.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&amp;t=11997">HERE</a>. Then we create a poll and have everyone vote for a song title. Once a song title is chosen, everyone will have 4 weeks to create a song using that title. Vocals are not mandatory but obviously help sell the title. The end result is multiple genres and different takes on the song title. Once the songs are complete, we will feature them on iMS Radio and have everyone hook up in chat as we all listen to them for the first time.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cc99ff;"><span style="color: #bebebe; font-size: medium;">Calling all Musicians</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cc99ff;"><span style="color: #bebebe;">White Chameleon has an interesting request out there for anyone in the <a href="http://www.imusicscene.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=39&amp;t=11987">Collaboration Forum</a>. I hope someone steps up for this because I really want to hear the end result!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cc99ff;"><span style="color: #bebebe; font-size: medium;">Making Music History</span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cc99ff;"><span style="color: #bebebe;">This is a fantastic idea and one that I would like to get on board with as a site! Please check out the thread <a href="http://www.imusicscene.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=62&amp;t=12015&amp;p=102835#p102835">HERE</a>. This is helping to create money for Children in Need. Obviously a fantastic cause for us to get involved in. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #cc99ff;"><span style="color: #bebebe;">These are just a few of the things going on at iMS right now. Please join us in chat tonight for the radio show!!<br /></span></span></p>

<p>One of the things I like to have on my Google Home Page is RSS Feeds for sites that I like. This way I can always see the latest songs or blogs added to iMusicScene. You can view the iMS Feed list <a href="http://www.imusicscene.com/index.php?template=rss.tpl">HERE</a>.</p>

<p>Thanks again,</p>

<p><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">Hey Everyone!!!</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">I just wanted to do a quick reminder that the Mark Cloutier Interview is tonight!. You can listen to the interview starting around 9:00PM EST by clicking <a href="http://cast3.jbstream.net/tunein.php/dazed/tunein.pls">HERE</a> to start iMS Radio. We will be in the <a href="http://www.imusicscene.com/chat/">Chat Room</a> at 9:00PM as well! After the interview we will be playing all the songs from the iMS Songwriting Challenge.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">We hope to see everyone there!!! </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;">From the technical side, if you have trouble hearing the Radio Station, please do the following. </span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: small;">Open My Computer &gt; Tools &gt; Folder Options &gt; Click on File Types &gt; find the PLS extension and assign it to open with Winamp, iTunes and I think Windows Media Player will also work. Click ok and then open the radio station link. We wil also be in Chat For Technical Support!</span><br /> </span></span></p>

<p>In our never ending quest to make iMS the best music&nbsp;site out there we have asked Nigel Potter to join the Moderator Team! I think most everyone knows Nigel and what kind of person he is. This is a wonderful addition to the iMS Team and I could not be happier that he has joined the team.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
