The playlists I’ve personally published on 8tracks have a combined song play count of almost 200,000 as of the writing of this article leading to a growing base of followers.Īs CD Baby has recently started to distribute directly to 8tracks, I am excited to share my experience with 8tracks to help artists get the most out of it. Below is the original article.Īs an indie artist, 8tracks is an extremely powerful platform to get your music heard and to find your fans. That’s probably all I’ve got for 2018, unless I decide to do a Christmas mix.I recently published a ( "target="_blank) on CD Baby's Blog, The DIY Musician, and think it's an important article to re-share on the feature.fm blog. I also added some grain to make it look more like the image was taken with a film camera. I “aged” the image by using my “1981” preset from the Creative Photo Edits #1 collection I have available in the downloads shop. The title for this playlist came from the first track, which is called “ Robots” and features the line “Robots need love, too.” He looks like he’s holding out his arms for a hug.
I borrowed the Lost in Space Robot figurine from Neil and photographed him on the front steps. Robots Need Love, Too from lclarke522 on 8tracks Radio. In those cases, I picked songs of theirs that I’ve never put on a published mix before.ĭespite the diversity of the artists, I hope that I’ve managed to pick tracks and arrange them in a way that flows nicely from one song to another. This is one of those mixes that is mostly new, but I felt the urge to also include some older tracks from artists I have loved over the years (Toad the Wet Sprocket, Billy Joel, Indigo Girls, Crowded House, 10,000 Maniacs, and John Denver). Google Play Music stations, in particular this time, “ Moonlight Swim in Canada“.the new local alternative radio station (so glad we finally have one of those!).The music for this playlist came from many places, as it often does: It just happens to have been compiled in October. I’ve talked about that a bit in the past.Īlso, a good Fall mix has some songs on it that are actually about Autumnal things. There’s a sound that a good Fall mix has. And, to be honest, even though it’s late October, I still wouldn’t call it a “Fall mix.” At least, not in the sense that I usually use that term. Still, I had a bunch of songs I was eager to listen to with more regularity, so I found myself making a new mix anyway. I told myself I didn’t need another Fall mix this year, because last year’s mix was so terrific, and is still in heavy Autumnal rotation. Quiet Time 11 from lclarke522 on 8tracks Radio. About 2/3 are recent releases, and 1/3 are twenty or more years old. If you are a fan of the previous ten Quiet Time mixes, you’ll be pleased to hear that this is just more of the same: one instrumental tune, followed by 15 bedtime-friendly songs.
