If you found out that you had gotten over 72K plays in a 3 month period for music you had released 7 years ago, you'd think that was pretty good, right?

Hi guys! I've decided I need to start a little blog section on this site for posts about life as an indie artist. I won't have a LOT of time for these posts, so they'll mostly be short. Today I am prompted by the recent discovery that Jango radio actually CHARGES THE ARTISTS MONEY to play their music. If you're an artist, you access your profile through radioairplay.com. I'm not going to link to it because I don't want to elevate their google rank.
