Music Dealers Artist Opportunities: Add Emotion To Your Texting
February 4, 2011, 6:59pm
Well, we've managed to dig ourselves out of the snow here in Chicago and unearthed an exciting and innovative opportunity for all of you Music Dealers artists!
If you hadn't read the email we sent out earlier in the week, Music Dealers is proud to announce our newly formed partnership with Rednote.
Rednote is an application for the Android and Apple mobile platforms that makes it possible to send music along with your text messages. Its a simple app to use, all it takes is for you to download the app on your phone, choose a song, enter the recipient and senders identity, and then your 140 character text message.
Its a very fun way to send messages to friends from you or "someone else" (not that we would condone such a thing in the slightest).
What you do is scroll through the list of artists, preview/choose a song, writing the recipient and who is sending it, then write your message and hit send.
Within seconds your friend will receive a text message with a link to the song and also, it will have a link to purchase the music.
The best part about that? Rednote features exclusively Music Dealers artists!!
So maybe its your child sweetheart you're texting, a family member, or maybe even a good friend of yours who becomes hilariously uncomfortable after you send him messages with the song "Beautiful Boy" and a short, but sweet message.
Whoever it may be- Rednote is a very fun and entertaining app that can give life to otherwise lifeless text messages.
ENJOY!
Music Dealers Artist Opportunities: The Sounds Contest: "Better Off Dead"
January 20, 2011, 4:49pm
The Sounds are poised to release their newest album, Something To Die For, this coming March. In a matter of weeks, The Sounds will be releasing the album’s first single, “Better Off Dead.”
We want to invite our Music Dealers artist community to become intimately involved with the single by recording their own version of the song. The band will pick their favorite rendition of “Better Off Dead” and will feature it as the b-side of the 7” single to be released worldwide.
Here’s the catch: You will have to record your version of “Better Off Dead” without ever hearing the original song. The Sounds have posted the sheet music of the single on their website, the-sounds.com. Click on the button “Get ‘Better Off Dead’”, download the sheet music, and let your creativity flow. Bring any style to the table!
Along with the grand prize of winning to be on the b-side of the 7" single, fans will vote on the entries in different categories like “Most Original”, “Most Like The Sounds”, “Best Video”. In a few weeks, the Sounds will announce the winners. Those winners and the winner of most plays will win cool stuff from the band and anyone who has downloaded the sheet music will then receive the actual single for free.
Get to work on this great opportunity and have more eyes and ears on your work! Best of luck!

ARTISTS: If you submit to this contest, please let your C.A.R.E. Rep know! We want to see your hard work and offer any of our friendly advice, so feel free to shoot it over to CARE - AT- MusicDealers.com .
