As we near the deadline, we have five official tracks for Compilation Vol. IV. Growth Spert (AR), Illicitizen (NC), Jonathan Badger (MD), Asleep, Audience…Dream! (OK), and Josh Lancaster (TX). Good stuff.

Our unofficial list is comprised of Orents Stirner (TX), Cracker Creeptacular (NC), Doves & Desperados (CA), Laserz (TX), Infinite Sky Foundation (TX), Benko (TX), No Mother (AR), The Binary Marketing Show (NC), K_Niv_Es (TX), Phalynx (CA), Dan Hole Pond (GA), The Counterlife (AR), St. Anthony (AR), and Equestrian (NY). Lots of these guys have been in contact with me and will be moving to the official list shortly, but as of right now there are still 15 available slots for Compilation IV.

We just posted Podcast #6, which features many of the people that i’ve just mentioned. Clickety-click on over there and get to listening to some of the folks taking part in the Collective.

Also, Ryan Hale has posted some artwork to be considered for the Compilation. Ryan’s work was featured on Compilation III and we’re glad to have him back contributing to the Collective. All other visual artists are welcome to submit their own stuff.

More tracks added to Compilation IV

Hey guys. i’m happy to report that many more people have contacted me about participating in the upcoming compilation and a few have even officially submitted their work. Looks like we have a nice diverse blend of artists wanting to take part, and we still have room for more.

Our official list, once comprised of Growth Spert and Illicitizen, now doubles in number to include the former compilation contributors of Asleep, Audience…Dream! (OK) and newcomer Jonathan Badger (MD). Glad to have you in again, AAD, and welcome, Jonathan Badger.

The unofficial list of people who have expressed interest has also grown. Former contributors Orents Stirner (TX), Cracker Creeptacular (NC), Ginsu Wives (AR), Sleep Today (AR), Phalynx (CA), K_Niv_Es (TX), and The Binary Marketing Show (NY) have all expressed interest in submitting their work, which is excellent. They are joined by Doves & Desperados (CA), Laserz (TX), Infinite Sky Foundation (TX), Benko (TX), No Mother (AR), and The Great Nostalgic (TX).

At this point, there are 16 available slots on the fourth compilation. To secure a spot, one must submit both a track and a monetary donation – for more information, check out the compilations information page. The deadline is at the end of this month.

The music that has been submitted so far is fantastic. We can’t wait to hear more.

Don’t forget that another important part of the compilation is the artwork. If you are a visual artist looking to submit some work that may be featured on our fourth compilation, head to the forum and get to clicking.
