Sounds great. I was going through the new album and I need to spend some serious time listening to it this week. I have been compiling a Mixtape of my favorite Devine Lie songs that I hope to have out this week.

I’ve already got both of your bands on the first LinkedMusicians Mixtape and also plan on doing one of Bapu’s music.

I want this site to be a lot more than deals — yes, we’ll always have a great deals forum — but I want this to be a place for musicians to share their work, a place where they can find encouragement, learn, stay up the craft of songwriting, music theory, discovering new artists and making new friends and possibly collaborators. We’re not growing quickly, but we are significantly larger than the Cakewalk Forum early adopters group we started with. As long as people continue to tell others about the community (please do! Especially tell people who like to post deals, so I can work on other stuff!), we’ll continue to grow, and I want to do some things to bring more activity to the song sharing section. Part of that is the Mixtapes. I’m also contemplating how to incorporate the Mixtapes better into the site, perhaps featuring the SoundCloud player on various pages of the site.

I think people like the two of you represent very high-level level talented musicians/songwriters and I want to make sure that our community is aware of your work. If you want to check out what I’ve put together so far, it’s here (eventually, I’m going to do an email and will include it as a feature). You’ll see other singer/songwriters that are part of this community that I think you’ll agree are very talented and making excellent music:
