Hey! Rockstars! Want to get your music on our Best Week Ever podcasts? Of course you do! Our podcast got 1 million downloads in April, and on May 23rd alone it broke all kinds of records with 450,000 downloads in 24 hours! We know there are a ton of great bands out there trying to break out of the pack, rocking MySpace, MP3 blogs, and dingy clubs to get their music out there. Well, we’re here to help. You’ll get hundreds of thousands of people to hear your music every day and we get to use really cool music. We’ll give you shouts on the video (ie, “Music by:â€) and links from our site. Plus, a BWE badge for your own site, so you can show off.
- Upload your song somewhere (anywhere– Even MySpace!)
- Drop the link in our user submission section, Drop It. You’ll need to register first. Don’t forget to put it in the “Best Song Ever” category so we know it’s for this.
- Get your friends to Prop It (vote it) to the top.
- We’ll pick the most popular tracks, email you to let you know, and fax over a contract that says you won’t sue us for using your music.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
Pretty much everything, since we cover so many kinds of shows and put out so much video. It doesn’t have to be written especially for us, or especially about TV. The chief criterion after “sounds cool” is a minimum 15-second instrumental bed, so we can put it under dialog. It can’t be a cover, unless you have something signed by the rights holder. If you take a look at our Best Night Ever, you’ll see (er, hear) we use a lot of different tracks- rock, punk, hip-hop, techno, and so on. Up, medium, and low-tempo songs welcome. It’s ok if the song has profanity, but we can’t use the cursing bit on any of our video, because of the iTunes Music Store’s “adult content†policy.
