News You Can Use

• A quick update on the Chicago Event Promoters Ordinance and what Alderman Eugene Schulter had to say about it as reported by Center Square Journal.

 

One More Thing

Recorded 30 March 2010

On this episode of With A Voice Like This:

Well, I had something to give away and it was the Eats Paste EP from Toy Block Music which is available throught the website starting 1 April. And don’t forget that a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the EP go to Pager to help with infant reflux disease.

But before I drew and announced the winner (yes, delayed gratification is the keyword here) I did a follow up with some additional information from last week’s show, regarding ReverbNation,  Audiolife (ReverbNation’s  partner in the Reverb Store)  and CD Baby.

And now to the big news. I had quite a few entries to win the the free download code for Eats Paste and I wish I had enough codes for everyone who entered, but  I only had one. And the winner was April. Congratulations and I’ve sent you your code via e-mail and the EP will be available for download on the Toy block Music website starting Thursday, 1 April. How appropriate, I just noticed that the Winner is April and the EP’s available in April. Don’t forget to let me know what you think of the EP, I’m sure you’ll love it!

One Last Thing

I spent just a little bit of time talking about my trip to see The Marriage of Figaro at the Lyric Opera of Chicago last Wednesday. I had a good time and couple of stories as well.

129 – All things new from ReverbNation

Posted on March 24, 2010
Filed Under Podcast | 3 Comments

Recorded 23 March 2010

This episode of With A Voice Like This is about the changes ReverbNation has made in the past couple of months.

News You Can Use
I take a look at the four changes/new additions to ReverbNation since 29 January 2010:

• The complete redesign of the website
• The launch of the company blog
• The new digital distribution packages announced 22 March 2010
• The Reverb Store announced 24 February 2010 for print on demand merch with partner Audiolife

I also take the time dot a little compare and contrast with a couple of services I’ve used to this point and see how ReverbNation‘s services stack up against them.

• I compare the digital distro packages with my experiences with both SellMusicDirect.com (A print on demand site no longer in existence) and CDBaby.com and take a look at their offerings, pricing structures and payment to artists [Note: I made an assumption about ReverbNation's package pricing, simply because turnaround time was too short before the live show to get a clarification when I found the source of my confusion, but I think I got it right].
• I then compare both CDBaby and mainly Zazzle.com to the new Reverb Store and again look at their offerings and pricing structure

One Last Thing
This is the last week to enter the contest for a free digital download of the Toy Block Music EP Eats Paste, to be released April 1, live drawing to be held on Episode 130. Just tell me your favorite children’s song from your childhood and you’re entered. You can enter in one of 5 ways:

• Put it in the comments of the show notes
• Post it on the wall of the With A Voice Like This Facebook Fan page

• Use the Google Voice link on WithAVoiceLikeThis.com to have the Comments from the Podcast Gallery voicemail line call you

[Edit: I just realized I incorrectly called ReverbNation's partner in the Reverb Store "Audiofile". They are correctly identified in these show notes as "Audiolife". My apologies]
