Like a New Orleans-style musical wake, the next listener event is a Mega Upload Party in honor of Michael Paul Miller on May 8th. I'm open to ideas about the time or times.
ANY 61 artist who wishes to join in should send me a wall post or tunebox with their song name (and the band name if it comes from a listener account) so I can list and do pre-promotion for you
I'll tunebox a heads-up to all 173 of my subscribers, and the top 100 listeners who aren't.
I know this will be the biggest t61 upload event ever, and includes:
Michael Paul Miller: "I'll Be Walking Home Today."
The next listener event is the Bozo Scramble on Sunday, March 23rd beginning at Noon EASTERN time (u.s.). The earlier than normal time is to allow Euro listeners and bands to participate. All Bozo Fund contributors or pledgers were invited to submit their three top underbumped favorites, and the Scramble, which will post on my wall at noon, is open to all comers. It is a chance to drop many points in a "target rich environment", and many songs have posted from the exposure in the past. There was much initial interest in the Upload Party that follows two hours later, but the recent de-pointing realignment has soured some artists, and will prevent some others from being able to upload who wanted to. Had the change not happened, it would've been the biggest joint upload event ever at triple the size.
KosmikRay runs all sorts of online events at The Sixty One and we're hoping he'll join the blog in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, I'm reposting from KosmikRay's Wallzine:
Wall Crawl
TIMYJL and KOSMIKRAY invite you to the inaugural WALL CRAWL this Sunday night beginning at 8 pm EASTERN. For two hours we will jump to a dozen listener's walls for great underbumped music, and end with a new music upload party at 10 pm EASTERN. The crawl starts at 8 on Timmy's wall. He will put up 3 great tunes and we'll have three minutes to listen, bump and comment on each. After ten minutes, he'll post a link to the next Wall and off we all go again. Previous events like the Bump & Grind Strategic Bombing Mission and the infamous SCRAMBLE netted lots and lots of new songs posting and zillions of listener points happily used.
If you would like to be considered to be visited by the torch-carrying bumping hordes of the first-ever Wall Crawl, send me a tunebox with the three killer tunes you would have featured ASAP. Only one slot is left.
If you are an artist and would like to join the upload party at the end of the crawl, send me a tunebox with the band and new tune name. The Wall Crawl and Upload Party is open to all, so pass the word. The more the better. So far, noctaluca will put up "Suck Hard" (one of their best and previewable at noctaluca.com), lovespirals "This Truth" (live) (tentative due to scheduling), and newcomer Banjo Drill's "Robot Boy", Laura Marie's "People" (live), and probably more. Puntspeedchuck wants to revisit all the Wall Crawl tunes we visit in his 61 podcast, so additional exposure is assured.
Lovespirals Remix Contest -- Win An Ipod Touch!
Peace Love Productions is holding a remix contest for Lovespirals recent single, 'This Truth". The top 5 finalists will be promoted as podsafe singles on Lovespirals' Podsafe Music Network remix page and considered for inclusion on a new digital remix EP and CD, plus the top 2 finalists will receive all 3 Lovespirals' CDs - personally autographed by Anj Bee and Ryan Lum - and the grand prize winner will also get a year's subscription to the PLP Producer's Vault and an 8 gig iPod Touch! Find out all the details at lovespirals.com!
Bozo Drive!
I STILL don't know if there are enough people who are willing to pay to force me to put up an ugly Bozo photo (instead of my nice blue snow) for all of spring. As you know, here's the bet: Everyone join in and pledge $1,000 in TOTAL donations to Sam and James' t61 enterprise, and I'll kick in $100 and change my pic to Bozo for three months. The top 500 listeners were contacted about this via wall message. That means it could happen with just $2 per person. Post on my wall or in my tunebox your pledge marked BOZO DRIVE, and I'll keep a tally.
Bonus: Any song in a BOZO DRIVE tunebox pledge will get a guaranteed bump if pledge is more than the points cost. Art Bonus: Graphic Designer timyjl is working up the BOZOFOTO.
Double Bonus: missi will match my $100 when $1k is reached! Sweet!
