Explosions In The Sky

[moonweed]

I would like to STRONGLY suggest a way for registered listeners to upload music they themselves have performed! How cool would it be to have a location on the site where users could upload mp3s of music of their very own and have it placed in rotation or on the request board. The composer/performer would have to agree to/understand that royalties or other legal issues would have to be waived. I would love to hear feedback on this idea as I think it would be an excellent format for added listening pleasure. Moonweed-

Well, I can't speak to that, because I'm just trying to introduce this band to others by talking about them here. Someone else contributed a website so folks can visit and learn more about them.

That seems to be the way to reach out and find new music.

Now Explosions is a new take on Pink Floyd type material, heavy on the guitars. Perhaps my allusions to Robin Trower are not accurate - not his guitar technique per se, but perhaps just that heavy fender sound.

Still, ya got to check them out.

Now, that said, I would not mind a bulletin board where we could submit links to a moderator for review. These links would be to "new music" sites for artists to show themselves off.

Well we have two separate thoughts here. I'll check out Explosions in the Sky - I tend to like "post-rock" stuff, though not all of it makes it to the Moon.

As far as listeners uploading music - we don't have a place set up to do that, but we do have a fair amount of music that is from listeners. I am the screener for music additions, so listeners with music can either snail mail me a CD for review, or e-mail a track or two if there isn't too much music. Send me a private message if you have music that you want to submit and we can discuss details further.

Thanks!
