I am starting a blog and myspace sites to help focus attention on independent artists. If you are interested please join!
Check out both myspace sites...
http://myspace.com/thehivecollectivemusic and http://myspace.com/the_hive_collective. Once submissions start coming in and are edited etc...the blog address will be posted!
But in the mean time lets get some discussions going about your art/writing or other independent artists that you know!
