DPS appears on GD's Bite Size Bonus Podcast
Podshow as you may or may not know is the podcasting network founded by former MTV VJ and Internet Service Provider founder Adam Curry.
Awhile back he and his business partner Ron Bloom created The Podsafe Network. The PodSafe Music Network, created and supported by PodShow, is a site that gives podcasters access to music that can be used without paying royalties to the recording industry. Podsafe music refers to music that is provided by artists or labels that control their own rights and who offer their music royalty-free for use within podcasts.
PodShow advocates and facilitates the production of podsafe music (music which can be used in podcasts without any licensing difficulties), by both independent and signed musicians, and its use and promotion by podcasters.
Yesterday I posted a few tracks from my band Dead Poets Society on the Pod Safe Music Network and was delighted to learn this morning that one of our
tracks "The Electric Haze" had already been selected and played in one of their their podcasts.
The Podcast in question was Bite Size Bonus with Green Dragon, (who happens to be a DJ that is pretty well known for collecting the "Greatest Hits You've Never Heard"). The set-list is truly great stuff.
We were honored to appear among the other 12 artists on the cast.
If you have or are thinking about creating your own podcast and would like to include some great independent music but don't want to have to worry about ASCAP, BMI or the RIAA coming after you, you can choose all the wonderful tracks you want at The Podsafe Music Network free of charge. You only have to agree to credit the artists and report their usage.
