The Weed world has been buzzing with action these last few days!
First of all, 4 new distributions sites have sprout up and have been added to
weed sharing:
-
DownloadWEED.com-
TTE Weed Media-
Weed Fanatic.com-
WeedWarehouse.comThe music of
Rody Coronel is now featured on
weedtunes.com. Songs from "Mixed Feelings" and Minister's "Power Trip" are available. Minister has been wildly popular with more than 2.5 million downloads at MP3.com and an amazing number 2 overall on MP3.com's charts, in front of major artists like Madonna, Linkin Park and Eric Clapton!
Jack Endino's WEED Cafe has been redesigned, and now features search tools that give quick access to individual artists.
The Rogues' Gallery Weed Site is now known as the
Weed Stash ICP Site. Weed files from 5 new artists are currently in the work.
The rest of Aaron English's album has been Weedified. You can find the files at the top of
Ars Divina Weed File Garden.
The people at
Downhill Battle, known for their biting
criticism of Apple's iTunes, have this to say about Weed:
It uses DRM (digital rights management), but we've been won over by the cleverness of the model. While all the other so-called business models are trying to fight or manipulate p2p, Weed takes advantage of it. And as a general rule, you can tell the shady online music ventures from the respectable ones simply by seeing whether they are honest and open about where the money goes (Apple, we're still waiting to hear from you).
Weed is looking for small working labels or highly active musician/tech types to act as Independent Content Producers in Boston, Austin, Toronto, Chicago, and Athens GA.
Contact Weed directly for more details.
And here on The Weed Files, there a new skin for the season named "Halloweed", the
links have been updated, and there's a new search tool in the sidebar on the right.
