About two years ago, I randomly posted a record of a band I used to play with on this site called Jamendo. They allow you to upload your music under a CC (creative commons) license. Kind of a new thing on the intertwebs. Looked cool to me and now with over 150,000 listens, 10 license deals and people that love our music in Europe, I’m glad I threw this record out there to the universe. Jamendo is not for everyone, but if you’re not actively shopping your music or a member of ASCAP or BMI or any other performing rights organization, then this site is for you. Remember performing rights organizations offer valuable benefits for artists of all types so DO NOT discount that. I choose Jamendo for our band because of the nature of the project.

150,000 Listens and 10 License Deals!?
Saturday, February 6th, 2010Got cool, free curated music and album art?
Wednesday, January 6th, 2010At Groove Labs we want to give a shout out to the people at netbloc.com for being innovators and pioneers in curating great music and art. Michael’s site curates collections of music and album art from independent artists from across the globe. In addition to offering a collection of great new music and art he offers insights into the bands and links for more information. His latest release net bloc volume 26 (N.E.T.A.U.D.I.O) features 11 tracks of music. Michael contacted us about including the major Major song “Chinese Drop” and we happily obliged. Sometimes in life the best things are free, but most people just don’t know about them. If you get the chance, click on the link and download this netbloc. It’s cool, free and represents the future when it comes to discovering new independent music. If you like what you hear, then support the artists by buyig a CD, t-shirt or making a donation. While free is cool and all, it still won’t pay for the butter. Make it so. Enjoy!
