Bum Rush the Charts

This entry was posted in Music on by

Dear Musician Wannabees,
If you are going to sign with a major music label and don’t retain rights to your creative work you get just what you deserve:

Musicians should be very careful of work for hire contracts. Under a work for hire contract, you have absolutely no right in the music you create.

The rest of us can help out a little bit, help disintermediate the legacy music industry and the RIAA by supporting the Bum Rush the Charts effort that is underway today.

We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Watch the Exception category for rocks, beer, coffee cups, and….?

Do link to the Ark every week!

You can find out how to board the Friday Ark at the Arkive page.

NB: Reader Rosemary suggested checking out Playful Pancakes: Cat Toys. Cassidy, a 2nd grader, makes these cat toys and uses the proceeds to buy goats for Sudan.

Note for Haloscan Users:

Over the past month or so Haloscan started (the end of July) handling of trackbacks has improved though it is still pretty broken for carnival type posts. Now, instead of rejecting every attempt to ping it accepts single pings for a while and then will start rejecting them. I will keep trying to track back to Haloscan boarders but can make no guarantees for any particular week.

Note for Typepad Users:

Typepad continues to behave similar to Haloscan for trackbacks. I been able to get trackbacks to most, if not all, Typepad based boarders. I have to do it one at a time and wait a while in between pings but Typepad does not go into semi-permanent rejection mode like Haloscan.
