Cubs Out Loud

Hey all.  On the last episode of COL, I played Digg The Code by Geoff Smith.  I got the song from the Mevio Podsafe Music Network.  I’m looking to get suggestions for music that is on the PMN that you’d like to hear on the show or would like to share with other people.

If you are a bear musician, put up your music and it will be accessible to be played by any registered podcaster on the PMN.  You are able see what shows play your songs and when.  I think this is a great way of spreading your music and getting it out there on the internets.  Here’s a definition of Podsafe from the Wikipedia article for artists:

Conventional radio (and television) can present a difficult, and not always logical, barrier of entry for a musician or other media artist involving large sums of money and often a great deal of surrender in both ownership and creative freedom.

In contrast, podcasting, an increasingly popular medium for audio programs, is as a whole very receptive, indeed thirsty for artists and input. This is due in part to the creative and economic nature of the largely independent podcasting community and further fueled by its need to avoid repetition. While a conventional radio show may be able to risk replaying a large part of its music selection from day to day, there would be little point in downloading a music podcast whose selection did not vary significantly from a previous show. Podcasting is thus a voracious medium. With a growing and international audience podcasting is now becoming an effective means for inexpensive artist promotion often aimed squarely at the people most likely to be interested in that type of music.

So see what you can find on the PMN, let me know via email at podcast@cubsoutloud.com and I’ll play it on the show.  Also, give us an intro to your song by calling our voiceline at 206-666-4929 or leave us an Odeo Message.  Can’t wait to here your suggestions.
