I been playing Guitar Hero and Rock band these days and I stumbled upon Frets on Fire which is a free for PC, Mac and Linux. I also discovered that you can add your own custom songs and I was motivated to add my own music, and after a couple of days of learning and plenty of trial and error I got my first song up, “Warning”, I spent countless hours with what is called “Fretting” my song, and finally I think I have a good version that is somewhat on time. Anyway, below is a video of what it looks like, and if you like the Frets on Fire version of the song it is available for download, please feel free to check it out and tell me what you think.
I received an email from music alley that said my song “cookie monster” I posted on music alley was featured on Comics Coast to Coast Podcast, and naturally I am excited about it, they end off the show with “cookie monster” and play it about 52 minutes into the podcast and on top of that they featured my song on the homepage of the site as “Music to Draw By”, totally cool stuff and I listened to the show and it is pretty funny and very cool!
you can listen to the show, download it and add it to itunes here or just listen in the player below:

I made this song for fun, Its I get money by 50 Cent, I am not really all that happy with my vocals cause I think I suck at vocals but I been wanting to see what it would be like, so I made this is little heavy metal’d up version of it, So far got some good responses over at iCompositions.com
I setup a bunch of profiles on indy music hosting sites and DMusic.com was one of them, I received an email from them saying they added XTT as a featured artist on the homepage and as you can imagine I am psyched! dmusic has actually been around for a long time, I dont think it started out as an indy host but now I got my eye on them. XTT’s profile is there located at http://xtt.dmusic.com/
check the screen shot below to see what I am talking about!
XTT has just added 2 more hosting sites to the list, I was perusing the apple message boards and asked if there was a place to showcase my tunes there and someone recommended iCompositions.com and it is actually pretty cool and geared towards mac users, I already got a couple of good reviews too.
While I was perusing iCompositions.com there was a banner ad for another cool site called BandMix.com which is also for indy artists which I also thought is pretty cool. I been looking for some cool indy artist communities and I am glad I found them, I am going to keep looking too.

Below are the three cool reviews for the Song “Black and Blue” from iCompositions:
I just setup a new spot for XTT to shine, I been trying to find as many spots as I can but it seems there is not as many places as I thought or perhaps I am not searching google with the right search phrases or maybe I should try more search engines or something, who knows. Anyway, I just hooked up XTT on a cool site I just found called purevolume.com and i dig it, its nice and easy to set up which is always a plus and it has the usual elements like the pop out player and the ability to list shows and pictures and all the other stuff, anyway feel free to check it out, below is what it looks like:
