Title: Interesting opportunity from ReverbNation -- which song should I submit?
Post by: Kaiaatzl on January 06, 2012, 08:54:02 AM
I recently recieved a message from ReverbNation inviting me to submit music that will be played in universities and colleges across the United States.
I'm not sure which song to submit (I have too many options!) so I want your help -- especially from those people here who are university or college students (or will be).  Which songs would you like to hear at school? :D

The options:
Ravager (not uploaded yet, will be uploaded later today)
Errorstorm (same as Ravager)
Mechanika (http://soundcloud.com/diamond-paw/mechanika (http://soundcloud.com/diamond-paw/mechanika))
Elevator Drop (http://soundcloud.com/diamond-paw/elevator-drop (http://soundcloud.com/diamond-paw/elevator-drop))
Whispers of the Dead (http://soundcloud.com/diamond-paw/whispers-of-the-dead (http://soundcloud.com/diamond-paw/whispers-of-the-dead))
Hive Mind (http://soundcloud.com/diamond-paw/hive-mind (http://soundcloud.com/diamond-paw/hive-mind))
One of my Descent remixes (http://www.planetdescent.net/index.php?action=media;sa=album;in=56 (http://www.planetdescent.net/index.php?action=media;sa=album;in=56)) [Which remix?]
One of the songs from The Enemy Within (http://www.planetdescent.net/index.php?action=media;sa=album;in=17 (http://www.planetdescent.net/index.php?action=media;sa=album;in=17)) [Which one?]
I'll add a poll as soon as I remember how :P.

This is the message from ReverbNation, if you want to see it for some reason :P.

I do find it funny that they want you to pay them to make money by playing your songs.

If he can't add a poll to his thread, then this forum needs some permission tweaking. Normal users should be able to add polls outside of the Poll forum.

Anyways, you should just be able to click "add poll" at the top of the page, along with all the other options like "Reply" and that stuff.

Sorry, working on United States time. If you can figure out how to post a poll, that's fine.
