I bet the Soundclick stuff would be classed as amateurish rubbish and the pop charts would be full of great songs.
Just to clear up on a point raised earlier Marc answered the question perfectly. Booking agents, mine included, are only interested in booking live acts for live gigs. The will not even listen to original music and have no clout in getting it cut or recorded.


Also I think Soundclick is best served for it's main purpose
A nice place to host your songs and videos and for the most part it's free and EASY.

Basically when it comes to the internet what are you going to do?..

1- Use Cd Baby... Okay anyone can do that.
2- Songs on My Space or Facebook - again anyone
3- Your Website - well the biggest acts in the world have a website and so can you, the only difference,nobody is looking for yours smile
4- Any other site? Doesn't matter..

Unless it's one where you don't have access to, ya know say only places where major label acts can. Billboard, Rolling Stone MTV etc...


Thanks!
Peace Mike
