Here's another online band/artist collaboration service this time focused on music creation more than promotion, being introduced by no other than LL Cool J himself:

If you don't know LL Cool J, here's his one-hit wonder and one of my all-time favorite rap songs:

Dear son, this is called a "cassette tape" and this is how I listened to music during my youth...

Oh and in these ten tracks are examples of rap/hip-hop instrumental tunes I used to listen to.

The soundtrack of your (future/digital) life

Check out this short masterpiece by Chris Crutchfield.  He calls it "Digitals," a "sort of musical."



Check out his website (http://chriscrutchfield.tv/) and Vimeo channel where he has a ton of other fun video stuff.

Speaking of Vimeo, I found out today that they now have a brand new look that's even more focused on videos.  It's optional for now though.

MeBands on YouTube

One-man bands. Very cool. But a lot of effort. Show some appreciation for these 5 performances by 2 guys on the 1 and only YouTube: 5 4 3 2 1. Personally and music-wise, I like #4 and #5 best. I'm "Motown" like that. :D

YouTube Mix = Funky Songs

There's this guy, Kutiman, who took some random YouTube videos and mixed them, forming whole new songs and (music) videos.  This is COOLER THAN COOL.  Hey, maybe he took a snippet from one of your YouTube videos!  He's got 7 songs in this 'album.'  He's working on his 2nd YouTube mix album already.  Kutiman, an Israeli born in Jerusalem, is one of the musical geniuses of our time.  Check his work out.
