Today I lived NOW by joining BandMix.com. It's a musicians site, that networks JUST music folk together. It's not like CDBaby, MySpace, or Reverbnation, because basically it's a long form Musicians Classifieds site. It's not a fans collective, but definitely a place to talk peer to peer or wannabe to wannabe.
I'll be posting songs, and listening to others to see if I might mesh up with prospective writing partners or band mates. Today, they ran a three months for $20 special so I went for it. Same price as one pizza, far fewer calories- I'm on it. http://www.bandmix.com/ratmando/
There's another site that I've been on for about a year, called GIJams.com owned and run by Randell and Schippers- a music writing tour de force who have churned out hits for many people including Smashmouth. It's for those who are current or past military, or have a strong military connection, who want to show that creativity can live in uniform. I was in the Navy back when Reagan was still around, so I needed art and now I have a place to put some of the work I did. Look for Cathe B. Jones or Ratmando there and you'll be able to load up a couple of my songs. They're also on MySpace.com under ratmando as well. Oh and yes, they're all music now, and they're partly owned by Justin Timberlake so it seems it will be for a bit. Yep, they've even got their "Sexy back" by changing up the name to an elegant, My_, as if that worked for Prince? But so it is.
My hubby is off with some bandmates to see Peter Noone of Herman's Hermits fame. I'm kind of as music-aholic as he is, but I think it's important for him to have a life outside of JUST hanging out with me- so he has a close bunch of pals, also involved in music. I'm off to be pals with another group.
