After the huge response I got to the post about Becky and Christian radio, I came up with an idea that I’m REALLY excited about and I hope you will be too.

It’s called the Bloggable Music Network.

WHAT IS THE BLOGGABLE MUSIC NETWORK?

It’s a network of bloggers who love music. We all have “bloggable” moments. Moments that are so amazing that we HAVE to blog about them.

I think there is a lot of “bloggable” music out there too. Music so good it must be shared. That’s what the network is all about.

Here are the details:

1. A monthly email newletter that highlights 3 artists that we feel MUST be heard.

2. We’re asking you to listen to the music, then blog about the songs you love.

3. We’ll provide the tools and information you need to share the music with your friends and readers.

WHY JOIN THE NETWORK?

1. Get free music

We’ll work as hard as we can to get a free single or two from each artist so that you can listen at your leisure. We’ll also set up giveaways and special events for you and your readers.

2. Save time

Learn about the greatest new artists without sifting through a million band sites or Myspace pages (shudder). We won’t tell you about EVERY new release or EVERY new artist. Only the best.



3. Make a difference

There are absolutely amazing artists whose music isn’t getting heard. The Bloggable Music Network is about to change that. Join us.

Your readers will thank you.

DETAILS YOU MIGHT WANT TO KNOW

1. What kind of music will you highlight?

While we won’t restrict ourselves to a particular musical genre, we do plan to select music that moves us toward God. Not all the artists would techically qualify as CCM, but based on their lyrics and their lives, we will choose music that encourages and challenges us in our faith.

2. What’s the catch? Does it cost something? Will you be trying to sell me something?

Nope. There are two goals for this project:

– Great music, meet Becky.

We want to introduce artists to a wider audience

– Becky, meet Great Music.

We want to introduce music lovers to the world of music outside of the radio.

3. Is this strictly for indies or label artists?

We have no regard for indie or label, just good music.

4. Do I have to blog about every artist every month?

Definitely not! We don’t want you to blog about an artist unless you absolutely love their music. We want truly great music to go truly viral. We’re not looking to market anything, just introduce it and let it run.

5. Are you going to do anything nefarious with my email address?

Nope. I won’t give or sell it to anyone. Period.

(Props for using the word nefarious in a sentence, though.)

6. Is this just for bloggers?

Actually, no. Anyone can sign up to get the monthly email. The content will be targeted toward bloggers, but you could use the same info on Facebook, Twitter or in an email to tell your friends about the music you find.

Again, our goal is to tell you about music so great that you can’t help but share it with your friends.
