Mixposure has a New Forum for Video !
When the Monkees TV Show premiered back in 1966, they were probably unaware of what they really started. Incorporating their music into "mini-movies" with sketches is consider by many to be the first music videos ever aired. Then MTV started a whole new music video revolution back in the 80's. Does anyone still watch that channel? Anyway now we have YouTube sweeping the world as a music medium and it is something we all need to start doing hence the creation of this forum.
Gary Hart asked us to add this forum and I am sad to say we should have done it years ago. I think this is a great opportunity for everyone to use this forum to start producing their own music videos. If you are an expert, fantastic I know we could use your help. If you are a beginner, you can still create videos very easily.
Thanks for the heads up Gary. I am looking forward to this forum!!

<p>Hey All!</p><p>I integrated the Forum Shoutbox onto the main Mixposure Page today. I thought we would try this out for awhile and see what people think.</p><p>A few things....</p><p>1. Shoutbox Requires you to be logged into the forum</p><p>2. When you log into the main Mixposure Page, you should automatically be logged into the forum.</p><p>3. If you login to the main mix site and you still can't type in the shoutbox, click the forum link and login. Be sure to click the Remember Me Box.</p><p>Please let us know if you like this feature or not!</p><p>Thanks,</p><p>Dazed</p>

<p>I wanted to thank <a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/Steve_Gilmore_and_In_No_Sense/">Steve Gilmore</a>, not only for all of the reviews he has done of Artists on Mixposure but also for his comments on Mixposure for the Stevies 2009!</p><p>You can read the entire blog message <a href="http://rebelriffs.blogspot.com/2010/01/year-end-review-of-2009-stevies.html" target="_blank">here</a>!</p><p>......</p><p>Words On The Web<br /><br />Putting on my musician hat a second (Audience: **** me, he's a musician??), I have discovered one essential fact about establishing yourself online. Spread yourself as wide as you can manage reasonably. I am personally active on several OMD's (Online Music Distributors); Soundclick, MP3 Unsigned, <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Mixposure</strong></span>, POP and POPSpace and those sites have been of benefit to me as a musician and as a pool of music for reviews. As a reviewer then, the Rebelriffs blog, opened me up to a whole new world of music from sites such as Myspazz, youboob (Ed: dude, you can't do that!), endless 'netlabels' and promotors and countless other smaller OMDs. It's brought me (and you I hope) some outstanding music OUTSIDE the usual 'music' sites I mentioned and that can never be a bad thing. Website forums can be pretty insular places sometimes, know what I mean?<br /><br />So, Soundclick carries on apace, close on 4m members and definitely the big kid on the block numbers wise. Soundclick, in my considerably humble opinion, is good at what it does. It has spent a lot of time learning how best to manage a HUGE music community, and it's still THE only place around that places no limit on the amount of tracks you can upload without going VIP. Now while I urge people to go VIP anyway - at least if you are serious - I can understand if you have better uses for your money. On that score, Soundclick is untouchable and - for me anyway - still the centre of TRUE unsigned talent on the net.<br /><br />The real surprise this year, for me anyway, has been <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Mixposure</span></strong>. See, that <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Mike-K. </span></strong>Say what you like about him, he's a shrewd cookie. When he moved his justly famed Saturday Night Rocks radio show to Mix Radio, I knew he had something - just took me a while to see what. From the initial thoughts from Dazed and a motley crew (you know who you are), the ashes of <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Mixposure</span></strong> were brought back to storming life. Broadcasting now every day of the week - see the site for details - Mix Radio is THE sound of unsigned music. Although it still has a top heavy guitarist/rock slant, the site is opening up new areas every time you look. For example, I listened to an hour of solid jazz (and I mean jazz) on New Year's Eve on the station...<br /><br />MP3 Unsigned went through a change of management and are currently undergoing a new look. Where Soundclick is hip hop heavy and <strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Mixposure</span></strong> is rock heavy, MP3 Unsigned seems to tread a delicate path between the two and seems to be undergoing a surge of new activity and the returning of some familiar faces (say hi, Mezzer, Slippy, clive et al). It also seems to have lost a lot of the clique-y feel that dogged it for a time there. All in all, things are coming along very nicely indeed. POP and POPSpace have not only been a good website for me (one for my own tracks, one for my more general activities) it's been an inspirational source of truly awesome music this year and the continued clamour for reviews from the blog has stopped me from doing all but grabbing the odd track or two to bring to your attention.<br /><br />As I said before, these are my own personal opinions and I have no affiliation whatsoever with any of these sites other than my own activity on them. On music OMDs opinions are always going to differ but in the 'scene' (Ed: Godawful word) I inhabit, these are the main sites for most of the musicians I highlight in this review. Speaking of which...</p><p>Read the rest of this blog <a href="http://rebelriffs.blogspot.com/2010/01/year-end-review-of-2009-stevies.html" target="_blank">here</a>!</p>
<p>Greetings all!</p><p>I received a message from <a href="http://www.mixposure.com/Tribe_Pendragon/">David Pendrago</a>n about a project he has put together for Michael Foster from the band <a href="http://www2.mixposure.com/AVALANCHE/">Avalanche</a>.</p><p>As some of you know, Michael is in the hospital and could use a little bit of support to get him back on track. Some of you may remember when we did the Songs for Rob (Grant) when he was in the hospital a few years back. This is the same thing. Healing through music!</p><p>Michael has been a huge part of Mixposure.com and I think this is a great time for us to step in and thank him for being a part of Mixposure and supporting us through the years. I am going to see if I can find the interview Mike K did with him and we can get that posted for everyone to listen to.</p><p>So please follow this post on Facebook - <a class="autourl" href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/524345730945574/?notif_t=group_r2j">http://www.facebook.com/groups/524345730945574/?notif_t=group_r2j</a> and post a link to your tune on Mixposure and hopefully some well wishes for Michael. Michael has been sick for a few years and he and I have had some discussions around his illness and the medical profession in general. </p><p>This will only take a few seconds of your time and defiitely is being done for the right reason. Come on Mixposure, let's song bomb the facebook thread with some music!</p><p>Todd</p><p><img src="http://www2.mixposure.com/image.php?mode=band_image&band_id=1505&width=290" alt="" width="290" height="163" /></p><p>The Saturday Night Rocks Interview with Michael Foster.</p><p><object width="400" height="450" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"></param><param name="flashVars" value="radio_id=&song_id=31167&band_id=507&autoplay=false&skin_color=0x000000&jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&remoteWidth=400&remoteHeight=450&system_name=Mixposure.com"></param><param name="quality" value="high"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="src" value="http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf"></param><param name="flashvars" value="system_name=Mixposure.com&radio_id=&song_id=31167&band_id=507&autoplay=false&skin_color=0x000000&cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&remoteWidth=400&remoteHeight=450"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><param name="pluginspage" value="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></param><embed width="400" height="450" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" flashvars="radio_id=&song_id=31167&band_id=507&autoplay=false&skin_color=0x000000&jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&remoteWidth=400&remoteHeight=450&system_name=Mixposure.com" quality="high" wmode="transparent" flashvars="system_name=Mixposure.com&radio_id=&song_id=31167&band_id=507&autoplay=false&skin_color=0x000000&cluster_url=http://www2.mixposure.com&jamroom_url=http://www.mixposure.com&remoteSwf=http://www.mixposure.com/modules/n8FlashPlayer/players/j3Xap.swf&remoteWidth=400&remoteHeight=450" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed> </object></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">Gabriel posted in the forum about having some issues with the audio player buffering. I can not duplicate this on Mac or PC with multiple browsers. We run two different servers that are no where near capacity and run multiple xeon processors and a ton of memory. I am not thinking it has to do with any of the servers.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">So is anyone else having any issues with the flash players buffering? When you first click the play button, you should see the buffer bar jump out about an inch in front of the play bar.If you are ahving any issues, please post a reply here and let me know what browser and version you are running, pc or mac and what operating system.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Thanks for your help!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Todd<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">First of all, apologies about the Flash players and the start stop thing. I have been looking at the Flash Forum and it looks like they have a fix and they are testing it out. Hopefully it will be released soon. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">The testing on the new site is going well and with luck we will be releasing in the next few weeks. I am looking for a new host now and we may change our host first and get that out of the way. Then we can change the site over. Oh the good times!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Anyway thanks for being a part of Mixposure everyone. The site will get a little dusty as we start making changes to it so please bear with us!</span></p><p><span style="font-size: medium;">Todd</span></p>
