<p>Been wondering recently when <em>is</em> a good time to start selling your music?</p><p>I've always had the conception, misguided or otherwise, that you start to sell when you have a big enough fan base, but on my internet travels there's been a lot of information that stamps on my theory like a large workboot on top of a roach, so the question still stands.</p><p>A lot of <strong>authorities</strong> on the subject say an immediate profit should be made from your music, others say keep the barn door shut for a little while. I have to add the ones who say sell, sell sell like a Money dealer on uppers are part of independant record labels<img title="Yell" src="http://www.mixposure.com/include/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-yell.gif" border="0" alt="Yell" />.</p><p>One comment I found was to sell your music on one site and have for free on another! To me this is a little like giving the locals a freebie while ripping off the tourists.</p><p> </p><p>Any suggestions?</p>

<p>just bought schecter c1 classic with seymours in it it is mean!!!!!!!!</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>

<div style="padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 50px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-top: 5px;">Another Year....a birthday song to myself, how vain, lol!<br /><br />I wrote this song a few years ago on a "feelin' down" week as my birthday, Jan. 13th, approached. The day came and went and life went on but I felt better for the effort <img title="wink" src="images/smilies/face-wink.png" border="0" alt="wink" /> <br /><br />Each year since then I've added something new, remixed, and reposted. My plan is to keep doing this until I run out of ideas or birthdays, which ever comes first, lol.<br /><br />This years track additions are drums and percussions contributed by Buddrumming. Bud also did the picture/ad design for the song. Bud is a great drummer and his graphic designs are out of sight! Thanks Bud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</div><div style="padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 50px; padding-bottom: 15px; padding-top: 5px;">I hope you enjoy all the grit along with the spirit of Another Year. <br /><br />Farrell Jackson</div>
