iLike2Rock! on MyLot

2008-12-25T09:16:00.004-05:00

iLike2Rock! is now making posts to MyLot as well as adding iLike2Rock! Blog to Mylot.

MyLot is a ver cool place where people come and ask questions on many topics, and the users of the site answer the questions.

The people that use the site also make money for making posts and answering questions.

I thought my Blog posts and Mylot posts would go hand in hand together and allow users that are looking for music, or music related questions resources to find answers.

I also hope that by using Mylot, I am able to get better feed back from everyday internet users and music lovers on music social networks and what they they look for in websites to make them want to join and use the sites, as well as their feedback on music and bands.

Demo Video for SOLD by Brian Gorsira

2008-09-12T15:22:00.004-04:00

Bryan Gorsira and myself just finished up a DEMO video to pitch to eBay for a possible commercial.

This is not a professional video, but it does help make the story of a guy that is tired of working and sells his belongings to be free of the rat race.

This could easily be a commercial for Motorcycles, Cars, or Boats.
And the person could have sold all his items from a garage sell, public auction or classified ad. Anyway you slice it, the song remains the same.

Feel free to leave us some feedback.

Keep Rockin!

Down....Not Out!

2008-02-03T10:39:00.000-05:00

Currently our Radio Stream is Offline and all promotions/interviews/showcases/broadcasting have been put on Hold.......Temporarily.

An hour and a half before my show on NowLive.com, my Network Drive that housed everyones music, CRASHED!!

In a mad dash against the clock, (The Show Must Go On!)
I was able to put on a show that featured the newest artists, and the artists from Serge Ent. Group.
Had it not been for the last minute ripping of the awesome "Lehigh Valley Rocks!" 2 cd set, the last 2 hours of my show would have been shot.
Then, to top things off, NowLive.com was giving the listeners and callers into the show bad audio all night long.

Due to the fact that my services have always been free, I do not have the finances to purchase a new drive or data recovery services.
And of course, my warranty on the drive ended 31 days ago! (I hate Western Digital - I shoulda went Maxtor!)

I do have some backup CD's from the drive, and a stack of CD's that I can re-rip, but I do not have a drive capacity to hold such data.
And I know that I do not have some artists CD's, or a back up of their music. This is due to putting CD's into the iRock iRaq Promo Package.

So....where do I go from here?

I really can not do anything until I get a new hard drive.
At that point, I can start recovering from back ups and re-ripping CD's

Once I have gotten that far, I can get the station back online, and compile a list of artists music that I have.
And anyone wanting to rsend me their CD's at that time will be able to do so.

The biggest kicker of all is, I just bought a spindle of DVD's to do a major backup, the problem was, I was to busy doing
everything else, that I never had the time to get to it. : (

It has always been my standing to make iLike2Rock.net Free and self-funding.
That means the money that it generates, goes into buying software programs,hosting, bandwidth, etc.
Unfortunetly, the amount of money it makes is slim to none and slim never rode into town.

So, at this time, I have placed a notice on my home page with a PayPal button to take donations for a new hard drive.

Anyone and everyones support is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
DJ Tom

Featured Artist - Jeriko

2007-12-31T13:46:00.000-05:00

A new artist out of L.A. named Jeriko brings a refreshing sound and a sweet attitude to match her catchy pop-rock melodies in her new EP “From Me To You.” Finding her inspiration on an extended trip to Europe, she has hooked up with the Swedish brother team “The K-Bros” and has produced an EP that is quickly turning heads.

The hit single and title track, “From Me To You” is a hard edged, Debbie Harry-like track that probably has her giving a wink to everyone as she sings the retaliatory lyrics. “All Thumbs Up” is a song with a quirky Lou Reed-like riff and is something that Pat Benatar could have easily released in her prime. The tune “Happy” is pure, seductive pop complete with reflective lyrics and infectious rock riffs.

Internet Radio is blasting this sultry pop-rock goddess’ music at full-throttle and MTV has licensed the entire release for their catalog and it is just a matter of time before Jeriko and her masterful music is a household name.

Check out Jeriko this week on iLike2Rock.net Radio

Internet Radio Co-Hosts Needed

2007-12-27T09:54:00.000-05:00

I am currently looking for Co-Hosts and Crewmembers for upcoming shows on NowLive.com

First, I am looking for someone to help Co-Host my show on Saturday Nights called "The Pit"
This is an all Metal/Hard Rock Show starting at 8pm to Midnight (eastern)
Check out this page for information about the show
http://www.ilike2rock.net/pit/index.html

This person should LOVE Metal and know about Classic Rock and Metal Bands like Metallica, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Pantera etc
Be willing to learn about Unsigned/Indie Hard Rock and Metal Bands on iLike2Rock.net, Open Grave Records, and Chavis Records with more Artists and Labels being added in the future. (you wont have to know all the bands at 1 time, more of a week to week basis)

This person needs to have an Upbeat personality with a good sense of Humor and not easily offended or grossed out.
Broadband internet access, be able to call into the show using VOIP software
Willing to learn the Media Board on NowLive.com and other aspects of the show.
Be willing to research and learn about bands, download photos, grab links and upload videos and photos.
Having a computer technical background will help.
Having a Webcam is also a Plus!

Second, I am looking for a Female to help co-host a new weekly show starting in Feb. 2008, probably on Sunday Evenings.
Should have the same capabilites as listed above, except you will need a broader knowledge of music to cross over many genres.

Please note, at this time there is NO monetary compensation for doing this.
However, there are perks such as Free Music and Free CD's plus other swag that may be forwarded to us by the bands. Sometimes free access to shows.
If the shows grow strong enough to start drawing paying advertisers, Co-Hosts/Crewmembers will receive a percentage of the revenue.

If any of this sounds like it is for you, you need to do the following

1. Visit NowLive.com and check out some shows to get a good idea of what NowLive.com is about, and get a feel for what we will be doing.
2. Visit iLike2Rock.net and Check out the Bands and their music.
3. Download the Destiny Software from the Tune In page from iLike2Rock.net and tune in and listen to the station
4. If you have done all of the above, and still interested, contact me and we will talk.

Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions about being a Co-Host or Crewmember.

If you have problems with any of the software, or getting it to work, it is going to be your job to figure out the problem and fix it on your own. As times, during shows, we may run into questions and tech difficulties and you are going to need
to be able to direct listeners/chatters to get their issues resolved. If you can't resolve your own issues, you won't be able to help others. So consider this as part of your test ;)

Fans of our show and website are welcome to help in many ways such as posting links, helping generate traffic, creating graphics, writing reviews, find sponsors/advertisers and more!

Rock On!
DJ Tom

iLike2Rock on NowLive.com

2007-12-24T10:24:00.000-05:00

iLike2Rock has conducted a few trial runs on NowLive.com and there are 2 shows that have been recorded and posted on our profile page (we seem to have the kinks worked out and ready to Rock!)

We are going to try and use this site once a week, usually Saturday Nights to do Live Shows where you the listener can call in and interact with the DJ's and any other guests the shows may have.

Users can enter the show like a regular chatroom without the need of any other software other than their Flash Enabled Web Browser.

Users also have the option to call into the show via their phone, skype, google talk, gizmo, yahoo, msn, or virtually any other VOIP software.

The shows will also allow the host and users to add video and pictures for a full fledge interactive experience.

The shows are recorded automatically for rebroadcasts, podcasts, or for anyone to just come and listen to past shows.

We suggest that users visit NowLive.com, explore the site, check out a few live and recorded shows and then get set up with a free account to take part in the shows and download any VOIP software they may need ahead of time if they want to call into the show using their computer.

iLike2Rock will be using NowLive.com to launch a new show called "An Evening With...." where we hold an informal show with an Independent Artist, ask some questions, talk about their music, allow callers and chatters to ask questions, spin that artists music, show some pictures and videos, and have some fun.

Get signed up for the iLike2Rock Newsletter to stay informed of upcoming shows.

We feel that NowLive.com is going to enable us to reach new audiences in 2008 and bring more exposure to the Independent Artists on iLike2Rock.net Radio
