Hello again indielinkers it is another word from j-mac.In this world as we all try to carve out a living,and take our passions like music and  or art to the limit.There are those out there that shot us down.I guess there will always be those people and sites that hammer what all of us do.Indielink and indielink web radio is no different.

    So i came across such a site with there little web crawlers and i asked 2 indielink members to write what they truly felt Those to members are John Maun and Cat Collins ,and here is what they had to say.Keep in mind i just asked for how they felt about indielink......no prompting on my part.

This is a copy of my review at Alexa.com....
This is a GREAT Site for Indie Artists!!!
Indielink.org runs Indieweb Radio, a great litlle site that allows anyone, and I repeat anyone, to upload their music and be heard. Not heard once, but actually inserted into IndieWebs rotation in hosted shows. I first found out about this site last fall(2009), and have seen it growing since I first joined. The site is not designed so much for social interaction, as it seems to me to be geared towards exposing new artists to the world. Alexa, I am afraid that your tracking data is suspect. Being an ex computer guy as well as a musician, I investigated Indielink prior to my joing them and your data just does not match up with what I found. Indielink is based out of Winnipeg, Canada, yet Alexa says all it's audiuence is fromw the US(last fall you said China, then the US), no Canadian traffic. I suspect that your IP adddress's are out of date.
Someone once said, "there are lies, Damn lies, and Statistics!", I suggest you go back to the Logic Tree in your programming and check it over.
One more thing, in this day and age it's refreshing to have a place to go that is not constantly hitting you up fopr money.

On Saturday 6th March the premier for the short film "Oku Tuakana, my brothers" was screened. It felt very satisfying to hear my compositions throughout the movie. For me it has given me a love of composing for films and docos. For one night I felt like a star!

This weekend in country music

 Jeffrey Macintosh of IndieLink is helping all independent artists. IndieLink is a site designed to help all indie artists. “It’s a fantastic community backed by our own web radio24/7 hosted shows all at no cost to you. Come join today and be heard around the world”, Jeffrey said. The site is not just for country music. Indielink was born out of an idea that Independent Artists of any and all walks should have a place to hangout, to share, to grow and to unite.

I have to thank Tim for this piece that showed up on his web site this past weekend. As you all know indielink accepts all music.Thus our words ring true   Indielink...Linking the Independent Artist Community. Our Indielink Web Radio phrase...Indielink Web Radio, Bringing Indie Music To The World One Song At A Time.....making it happen each and everyday!

Hello again indielinkers. I welcome all the new members that are coming to the site! Remember if you would like to have your music heard on our web radio you have to be a member which is still free at this point in time, so register and read how to up load to the radio and I will do the rest!

    Cat Collins the winner of last months picks of the month has his spotlight show done and up in the on demand section of our radio tab. Or you can hear him on indielink, the show plays once every 8 hrs great exposure for anyone.

     Indielink does what we say and will continue to do so! We do not sell or give away anyones music! Never Have and Never will! There are good things coming that will give us a little bit more freedom to really expand the site to a place that will really put indielink and indielink web radio on the map! Trust me we have had one of the big sites already take notice of what we are doing and several other sites have popped up trying to do what we do.... I wish them luck you gotta believe in what your doing and work your ass off!

   As always I dig the music we have been getting and we are getting every indie artist heard on indielink. Lots of requests to play bands on the web radio. How would you the artists feel if we started doing a live show on a regular basis ...let me know j-mac@indielink.org    Rock on

get it here!

So I'm whole-heartedly invested in the idea that one can manifest their own destiny; that in mind, I have created my vision of what is to come this year:

1. Finish production and begin distribution of the album "Universe in a Soft Shell." 2. Start promotion of the album with an East Coast tour. 3. Enter the Canadian Folk Festival scene. 4. Continue to strengthen ties with distant family members. 5. Continue to support local charities and artists 6. Continue to build relationships with members of my immediate community. 7. Complete the P90X series and get in the best shape of my life - ripped baby! 8. Write at least 10 new songs. 9. Collaborate with other musicians around the globe. 10. Live in the moment as much as possible and just breathe!

  Many artists have come to Indielink and it is a great thrill and ride of emotions to be in my position. I have spoken with hundreds of you and made many new friends,  just one great bonus to indielink.

Sometime ago we had a young 17 yr. old girl up load some music to indielink web radio. The music was great the videos awesome and a young talent that clearly illustrated indielink had a special girl in our community. She has stuck with us and been there every step of the way as we have continued to grow. Many times I have asked for favors and she has always delivered. I now have seen her grow as an artist and as a young lady. Additionally her family stands behind us as much as she does, offering to do many things for indielink from promoting us to donating half of her record sales to us! The young woman is Kyoto Kandy.

   We here at indielink and indielink web radio would like to wish Kyoto a Very Happy 19th Birthday. Yep Kyoto is 19 today. So from Carl, Su, Gary and yes myself  j-mac and the rest of our team we wish you all the very best! I hope we all see many more with you!

j-mac.
