Buddhuza is one of the two artists who won the first Ropeadope Sonicbids contest. His music was selected from 1000 demos Ropeadope reviewed from Sonicbids.

Launched in January of 2007, Ropeadope is a widely respected indie label that has worked with a long list of noteworthy artists including: Christian McBride (who played with Pat Metheny, John McLaughlin, and Chick Corea), Pat Martino, Charlie Hunter, Mike Gordon (from Phish), Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson (from The Roots), John Medeski, Robert Randolph, and Jeff Parker (from Tortoise).

Mevio Radio aired When I Open Up My Door on its show #194.

Initiation in the Sublime was included in the April 9th show of the AFC Radio. The radio is a project of the Artistic Freedom Collective, a group of international artists who support and promote each other and includes members from throughout the world.

AFC Radio airs fantastic singer/songwriter, folk, blues, country, jazz and acoustic music and invites artists from all over the world to join the AFCollective Acoustic Network.

Those of you, who prefer to listen to higher quality MP3s, can now buy Buddhuza’s songs or the whole album on CD Baby.

Please note that you can still stream and download full tracks on Buddhuza.com and Last.fm pages, and they are here to stay until I’m signed.

The given album is a compilation made from New Demos and NowHere (incomplete) albums and does not feature the cover songs that will be released separately.

Another great British podcast, Three From Leith, where Grant Mason features his three favourite weekly tracks, is now playing Fish.

Download his latest Show 168 – ‘One For The Monkey’, or click the play button below to play it.

You can also subscribe to the podcast, or submit your own music.

Facebook Connect is a new technology that enables Facebook users to comment on blogs and sites without having to register and log in, by just using Facebook credentials. In other words, once you sign in to your Facebook account, you can comment on any Facebook-connected website, using your Facebook profile.

I’ve played with it a little before finally offering it to you and I must say it’s very convenient, it saves your time and you don’t have to type usernames and passwords for myriads of websites you daily haunt.

If you have any problem using this little, spam-free application, please let me know so that I have a chance to play with it more

Now let’s go ahead and test it!

All four reviews are from my Last.fm listeners, one of them is in Georgian and two are in Russian.

I’ve recently found one on LiveJournal and, pleasantly surprised, decided to post all four. So here they are:

Colin from Ourobouros Podcast played Fish on his Psychopaths, Sycophants & Fetishists show as a “weird track of the week”, or at least that’s what I heard

In any case, thank you, Colin!
