There’s a brand-new widget on the sidebar.
In case you guys haven’t noticed before, I’ve added a section about various sites that The TECH Project supports. That’s pretty much a fancy way of saying that most of these people have added The TECH Project on MySpace.com, so I’m promoting them back. With one exception. Allow me to introduce each member of the new sidebar widget.
- Fly Phoenix (MySpace Bands) – A band that my cousin, Brandon, is in. They list everything from Metallica to Timbaland to Eric Clapton in their influences. Only one song has been posted, but they sound great. (Before you ask: no, I have NO clue who is singing. It could be Brandon. But I’m not sure.)
- Kaleb Nation (blog) – Another teen writer who writes a blog over on WordPress. He has nice taste in music. Kaleb is a radio show host in several states and even overseas. Also a pretty nice guy. His first novel has an agent in NYC and currently searching for a publisher. (Yes, I’ll be linking the Amazon page once he’s published.)
- Phil Rizzo (MySpace Bands) – Another one of my cousins, Brandon’s older brother, who has a solo act in NYC. He has a nice, smooth sound.
- Riot Like Words (MySpace Bands) – An independently-produced rock band from Austin, Texas. I met the bassist, Craig, and their ex-drummer, Mike, while in the mall during this past summer. My sister, my boyfriend, and I all pitched in some money to buy their self-titled CD. The band is awesome.
- The Ryan Killers (MySpace Bands) – This is a local band that originated in my high school. It consists of four/five guys (they added a drummer) who generally act like idiots while making nice noises with instruments. The bassist, Bobby, is a guy I was really good friends with during freshman year, and mostly I’m doing this as a favor for him. (My ex-boyfriend, who hates my guts, is also part of the band.) But do check out their page. They have a demo up, and my boyfriend, who plays guitar, says it’s not bad. (I haven’t checked it out myself.)
- TheNewsCanWait (MySpace Bands) – A little on the screamo side, but I like these guys. Again, this is really more as a favor for the Mysterious Guy Who Is Always On The MySpace Page, as he asked me to help promote the band. I don’t have a CD. (I’m not exactly sure that they have one.) If I did have one, I’d probably be screamo-happy and telling you AAAAAAAAAALL about it.
If you want to be represented on the widget, add The TECH Project on MySpace and send a message requesting to be added. I’d be happy to have you!
