The Unheard Music says hi. "HI!" Plus, sort of a contest!

So I haven't posted for the last few days because I've been working on other stuff. I'll get back to normal on Monday. With that said, the Prince stuff is moving along quite well and I'll still be posting the Ridiculously Deluxe Edition of Sign O' The Times on Friday the 10th. I'm not going to do it via torrents though like I originally announced, rather I'm just going to post it on two file downloading services. There will be a link posted on the 10th that will have a text file with links for the downloads. Squirrelgrease is working on the art but I know he's busy so, just in case he doesn't get it done before the 10th, I will still be posting the audio for download and I'll add the art whenever it's available. I know he'll have it soon enough though because he's awesome so don't worry about it. Also, he asked me if I wanted to have a label name for these Prince releases and I decided to go with IFM Records. Guess what IFM stands for and you'll get a prize. Seriously! The only clue I'll give is it's related to something that used to be on The Unheard Music.

Let's get totally serious here for a moment, I want the public's opinion. I'm theorizing what to do next with The Unheard Music and would like to expand a little. I still want to get a forum online and there is a secret release that's in the planning stages for the summer of 2011, but what else would be cool? I WILL NEVER ADD INTRUSIVE ADVERTISING TO THIS SITE OR ANY OTHER SITE I RUN, so don't worry, no one will ever try to get you to buy ringtones or viagra here, although I will include links for pertinent data or purchases whenever available and I do like the new Amazon feature that lets you post visual links to specific items they have for sale. Something like that isn't intrusive and it's great when you want to let people know things are available. But what about Unheard Music videos on youtube? Not videos for tracks but short programs dedicated to specific artists and records, all informative but with a good sense of humor. What do you think about that? Anyone have any other good ideas? I was thinking about marketing a barbecue sauce named after the site but my sounding boards thought that was a bad idea. It's worth noting my sounding boards in that case were an actual board of wood and a sock puppet. Maybe that wasn't worth noting.

Anyway, let me know what you think people. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING! Well, specifically related to what I've written here. You can write about other things but if you put something up about how french fries are great I'm just going to ignore it. No offense to anyone but I already know how great french fries are. Anyway, love you all and thanks in advance!
