Okay folks, it's online!

The RupturedEarDrums Internet Radio Station is online!

http://www.live365.com/stations/redirs 

I went with live365 for one very basic reason, copywrite & royalty protection for the artists & bands. Live 365 covers all aspects pertaining to ascap, bmi, seasac & soundexchange royalties for artists and labels. Most of the places I reviewed left it up to the honor system to cover these rights for you. Another plus, is that if your music is already a marketable item and available for purchase, a buy key is placed next to it. Hence, you make money. There is the task of signing on and getting a profile and password for new members. They also have a VIP section for no commercials if you want to pay the fee. They have a listening base of about 4 million from their own reports. The more of you that drop in, the higher the statistics go and the more of the general public start to tune in. Traffic to the site is money in your pocket!

I am having to use a lot of major label and established artists to fill in the time gaps for a lack of the unsigned & indie label music. This is where you folks come in, I need your mp3's to build the playlists. I have leased enough space for about 3 hours of music and will get more if needed. This site and station depends on the assistance and help from the artists I am supporting. Once again, this is an expense for me, I DO NOT MAKE A DIME from this station! You get the exposure and sales royalties from every song placed on this station. All I and you need is your assistance in promoting and getting your fans and friends to start dropping in.

The bottom line is this. Both the website and the station were put there for the thousands of unsigned and indie artists needing exposure. Both of these palces are for your benefit, not mine. It will work only if you put as much work into it as I do. With all the friends I and you have on myspace, we could make this site a haven for those needing a little assistance. I cant promise contracts, but I can give you airtime and a place to be recognized for your work. Talent, courage & determination are qualities only you can provide. All I can do is provide you with an avenue to display them.

Best Regards & Good Fortune!
