SoH have been doing that since before they were household names though. So, it's the fact they encouraged their music to be shared around openly that's helped to spread their name like wildfire, that and the fact that it's damned brilliant music of course. The money they lose in CDs that way, they get back over and over from the new people who are brought into their music.

No it won't work for everybody, because I'm afraid that not everybody makes music that others may want to hear, like it or not. However, if your music IS good then it will, I'm sure, benefit you to do that.

'The rest of the world' wouldn't tune in to someone's blog. A few people may do, and who knows, just one of those people may take that music and do something wonderful with it, contact the artist and there you go!

And if that DID happen I very much doubt that any artist would turn down the opportunity that came their way because some 'stranger' had taken the trouble to put their music on their blog for them.

Be grateful that someone considers your music worthy of putting in their blog. Count your blessings and don't look a gift horse in the mouth....and if you are so worried about your music being in the wrong place, then don't advertise any of it on the internet, anywhere, at anytime. Just sell your CD at folk clubs, in brown paper bags so that no-one can see it.
