OT: Any musicians/bands?

Well, i guess you could judge for yourself, but I'm in a band called Drop Dynasty.

The songs on there are pre-EP demos made on our guitarist's computer, but they'll give you an idea i suppose.

Nick,

Well... went to the site... kinda hard to read.. nicely done in Flash though. As several people here are aware of... I am a web-developer.. more specifically for the past 5 months I've been building a web service for the company I work for. It's a place where independant artists can get their music known and heard by fans world-wide. We just launched a couple days ago so we're still in beta mode... I didn't wanna just post a URL b/c I didn't want to attract uninterested people and I didn't want it to come off as spam... but the URL is

. Check it out sometime... Ithink you'll like it. You can sign up as an artist, upload your music, setup your bio, upload band pic, etc... while listeners all over the world comecheck out your music & other artists... it's pretty featured filled & Ithink you'll enjoy it. If you choose to be a beatscout artist.. that doesn'tmean we "own" your songs... you can remove 'em any time u want to w/out anyquestions asked.... as a matter of fact YOU can remove your songs withouteven notifying us.. so there are no contracts, etc. Each song gets a 1minute preview available to listeners... and each song costs $0.25 tolisteners. If you choose to be an exclusive artist (explained on site--youcannot sell your music anywhere else or give it away anywhere else otherthan BeatScout.com) then you get 60% of every sale.... and believe it ornot.. upload a decent # of songs (ie: a full album or a little less.. butpreferably more) and they're liked by the listeners.... they can makerecommendations, promote ur music, etc... and that can add up to manysales... nice little way to earn extra cash while getting known. Also...there is no fee to sign up... we don't even take your CC info. We don't needto! We're dedicated to getting indie artists known & giving them a chance toshowcase their talent. Sorry this is so long... liked your music btw. So ifya get a few mins... might be worth checking out.

Mike -

Thanks for the good words! I'm in film production, and design mostly in after effects, so the idea of readability in different resolutions kind of escaped me in flash i think. It's my first attempt at a website actually though, so all in all I'm pretty happy (except for the links page...we didn't like any of our links so we messed it up a bit.)

Your site sounds very interesting. I will have to check it out!

OT: is there any chance I could probe you with a few questions re: the website? There were a couple of things I just couldn't figure out with the action scripting...e-mail me maybe if it's all right?

Thanks again,

- Nick
