New Ideas.

I think I am going to try blogging more often now (not too hard seeing as it had been months between blogs), but i want to incorporate the share feature of bandcamp from the previous post. So now when I blog, I will put a song that I found by chance and liked at the end of each post. This one is simple because I dont have much to say at the moment, but I did have a small quote as I was drawing in the dark a few days ago that I will write.

"The entire last month, I have been a mask. Lindsey Lee Wells thinks she is full of shit, I have perfected her art."

Awesome Song

So, I actually found the first song because of Like Totally Awesome (a Phillip DeFranco side project) that is based on "The Quad." It is made up of four different videos that you can choose to watch, mostly about video games or movies. After you watch, you vote on your favorites and they have the possibility to return the next episode. Its a great way to have user generated content geared towards the target audience.
These songs on the other hand come from an excellent website called bandcamp. They let bands sign up and upload their music/cds to the site, people can then preview the songs and buy them in a bevy of file types (as opposed to buying the DRM locked stuff from Apple). You can also share a song in a few different ways, and with some of their new and great looking visualizations (move your pointer away from the share box to see them). The rest of these songs were found completely by chance and by browsing the artists page on bandcamp (it is a ton of stuff to load so it may take a minute or two to load).
