Other gigs/open mics/ ice cream socials are being planned and I'm only directly involved in one of them, which has a very strict specific criteria for performers. We'll contact YOU if you fit that ONE criteria. Feel free to guess but I ain't saying another word. Except this: "sex."

Here's my guess: all female performers.

Here are my figures as of today:

Decktonic - Lighthouse (Single) - 12 Sep. 2010 - 37 downloads
Decktonic - Return to Gravity (EP) - 10 Nov. 2010 - 66 downloads
Decktonic - Remixes Volume 1 (EP) - 4 Jan. 2011 - 37 downloads

then there are 2 EPs that I removed (Space Travel and Return to Gravity Promo) which totaled almost 140 downloads between the two of them... those were up longer.

On another note, compilations are where it's at... it's a great way to get a lot of exposure, especially when you are starting out and nobody knows who you are. The "Mega Micromusic" Warioware DIY compilation that I did on my label Dual Mode Records has 132 downloads as of today. The DS10Forum.com compilation "A Journey Through Space" has had 342 downloads, and it's only been out for a week. So I highly recommend participating in compilations if you are trying to build a following.

I know it's on youtube, and I know it's technically a cover. I had over 130,000 hits within a week period. The rest of them have come trickling in. I offered the song for free and am kicking myself in the pants for it.

Whoa whoa whoa, hold your horses. If it's a cover or remix then you would have to get permission from the original artist in order to sell it. You can't just put it up on a paysite and start collecting money. You would likely have to enter an agreement with the record label that owns the original track where you only take a percentage of the money.

Basically your song is popular because it's based on something popular, but for that reason you can't make money off it like you can with original works.

So your story is not that relevant to this thread.

Yeah they are targeting the gaming generation... people who are mid 20s now (like myself) would have been in their formative years when NES / Gameboy came out. That's also the average age of the characters in the commercials.

Don't fall for it, it's just marketing. smile
