Puddlegum Listening Party
A few months ago we wrote about SoundCloud, a website where artists can upload their music to the cloud and allow people to stream, comment, follow, and download the song (if the artist chooses). I added a ‘dropbox‘ on Puddlegum which artists could use to privately share music with Puddlegum… and we received quite a few!
We have decided to begin a non-stop Puddlegum Listening Party on SoundCloud. Artists (or those who represent the artist) can bring their songs to the party, comment on the songs that are playing, and join a conversation with others at the party. We’ve already heard from several record labels that they will bring music to the party, and a handful of artists have arrived!
Since not everyone uses SoundCloud, we’ve decided to bring the listening party to Puddlegum’s website. You can find the playlist and a dropbox on the sidebar. Submitting a song through the dropbox will add the song to the que. (We reserve the rights to remove songs from the playlist.)
Note: When you submit a song to SoundCloud, add the name of your band or artist name in the track name, this way people know who they’re listening to without having to click ‘info‘.
Yes, the Puddlegum Listening Party is a ‘group‘ on SoundCloud and any SoundCloud member can join for free. You don’t have to be a member to contribute tracks, and you can’t contribute someone else’s tracks.
Consider this as an invitation to the Puddlegum Listening Party. Please join us, but don’t forget your [digital] vinyl!
