Indie Nudes

Right then,

I have this little clever program where you type in a certain word, and it
gives you a number representing how many people are searching for this
particular word on the internet.  So I typed in the word "indie", and it
came back with 15,000 + for the word indie, 13,000 for the word combo "indie
music", and, surprisingly, "indie nudes" was the third one with 12,000 +. 
Indie nudes? are they a group of artists who are into nude performing? 
Anyway, I typed it in google and it came back with a website
www.indienudes.com which is just a
website with whole load of porn links.  Hmm, I don't think all these people
were searching on the internet for "indie nudes" just to find a website that is
just full of links to other porno websites.  There must be something else
to it.  If people were searching for porn, they would type in "nude", but
why "indie nude".  Any comments would be appreciated!  Have a great
day.

Indie Hair Style?

Now then, I mentioned in my last blog that I was going to talk about indie hair styles.  Apparently, this topic is being searched for on the internet and I'd do everything I can to increase the popularity of The Unsigned Collage; so here we go.  I personally think there is no such thing as an indie hair style.  The word indie means independent, i.e. it is your choice. Cut your hair as you wish, and you'll have an indie hair style.  However, there has been an increase in the number of male fringes lately and I guess it all coincides with the latest indie scene boom.  I actually found a brilliant gallery on a website that has all kinds of the so called indie hair styles.  The link is http://www.catbirdseat.org/catbirdseat/indiehair.html .  There you will see all sorts, from short to long to afros.  Also check out www.latest-hairstyles.com/punk-hairstyles.html, it has a range of different hair styles ( emo, indie, rock, etc).  I think that should sum up the topic.  I think next time I'm going to say something about indie nudes!  Catch you soon..

three new Bands

Now then,

So far we had 3 bands signing up, and it is still early days. Thanks to The Pitchers, Sheffield UK; High Child, London; and Royalties to the Royalties, Canada. They are all great bands, I've been listening to their music. It's just brilliant having a collage of unsigned bands and artists that you can explore randomly. It is just like being in a CD shop; I hope it works out. I have been intouch with Rob da Bank, a Radio 1 DJ, and I just hope he'll be interested in the idea behind the website. Anyway, I'll be writing a random web log on indie hairstyles soon! There's a reason behind it.. catch you later

Why is it that www.theunsignedcollage.com could be an important webiste for your music

Many music promotion guides emphasize that making good use of the internet is important for music promotion. Thanks to the net, we are now seeing many successful independent artists hitting the charts. The Arctic Monkeys are a classic example.. There is no need for massive campaigns to promote your music. You don’t really have to get a publishing deal to get your songs out there. The formula is: be good, have a good fan base (i.e. perform wherever you can), and direct your fans to your website. The only problem with relying on the internet to promote your music is that no one is actually going to look at you website (or your myspace) unless they have heard of you before. They need to know your name first, and where they can find you on the net. This is where I think the unsignedcollage.com comes in. It is one big collage, which will hopefully fill up with picture links to unsigned artists. Once music enthusiasts here of theunsignedcollage.com, they will visit it, they will spend a fair time clicking on interesting pictures, interesting captions. They could end up at any website. This website could well be yours. So there you have it, a random person who likes music but hasn’t been to any of your gigs listening to your music on your website. I know the concept of the website works, we just need to get it out there. Hopefully we will..
