With regards to that time of the year called award season, in the past month or so, I have had about ~10 Bit.ly URLs that seem to have reached a level of interest.

#10 – Cottonmouth Ghandi – Vance Savage – Pete’s Dog

- Vance Savage is a very talented musician and music teacher who I met via Craigslist when I was looking for someone to teach my older son how to play drums. I happened to have found him, and luckily we have forged a pretty decent friendship over the past few years. These are some different bands and projects he has out there where you can listen.

#9 – Power Ballad City

- If you are in the mood for a decent Power Ballad, you should check out this bit.ly bundle for it. Clone it!

#8 – Church Tongue – The Gutter – Solo Trashy

- This is a friend of mine that lives up in Chicago. I played bass in his band for a bit, The Gutter, and he did this techno solo Church Tongue project, and I also engineered (re-engineered) the Casket track. I’d love to work (intern even!) in a recording studio.

#7 – 3 Gifts That will Surprise And Delight (ME) on Christmas

- Yes, I would love to find these under the “tree” this year.

#6 – Top Ten Holiday Gifts You May Want to Re-Think Giving

- It’s that time of year, and if you want to get me something, try the #9 link above.

#5 – Crowdsourcing abortion is probably a bad idea

- This one still floors me that someone would try to crowd source an abortion. Not a good idea, and kind of weird and illegal in some places.

#4 – 5 reasons people switch from iPhone (iOS) to Android

- These are my own personal observations written down as a blog post, and surprised it was read by many and linked by a few power twitter users.

#3 – Major Reasons Why Mainstream Businesses Are Leaving Twitter

- A different perspective of the Twitter Kool-aid that everyone subscribes too. Well read post that was written by Scot Duke.

#2 – Beatles on iTunes

- This bundle I made to help people understand bundles on Bit.ly. It seemed to work as it was also featured on @bitlybundles

#1 – Wade Phillips Fired – Jason Garrett in as Dallas Cowboys Head Coach

- Crazy that made it as the #1 item for my Bit.ly URLs, but timing is everything I guess. I’m not even a Cowboys fan!

Technically Speaking, what are your top Bit.ly URLs?

Church Tongue : Your Opinion could be worth $25 via – #freeschtuff

Technically Speaking, I’ll be drawing the entrants to the #freeschtuff (only 3 so far) out of a black top hat tomorrow – Wednesday 7/15/09 – Live on UStream! Here are the 3 that have entered (left their opinions via #freeschtuff) to win that $25 eGift Card from RizzoTees or FREE T-shirt:

@klasinski
@kopper
@jonconnelly

As of this morning, the experiment with the twitter hashtag has been a big #FAIL. No worries, many of you are probably asking “Why Church Tongue?”. Well it’s a friend of mine’s experimental gothic music mix send up. He asked me to help him promote the page, and I said, “Sure, why not.” Church Tongue isn’t your ordinary band or even your run of the mill music offering. That is exactly the point of it!

I know that those who have listened to the tracks probably have an opinion. If they saw the tweet on twitter or even not, they could easily leave an opinion with the hashtag system. That is all that Church Tongue is asking for. Right now, there is exactly ONE opinion - and looks like @klasinski is going to win the $25 eGift Card from RizzoTees by default. Quite sad.

I thought that the tweeps out there would have an opinion. I watch people be opinionated daily via twitter. Here is the chance to just take a few listens to some interesting music, and if you don’t like it, all you need to do is say so. If you love it or have suggestions, leave that also with the #freeschtuff hashtag.

Again, to date ONE opinion, looks like the winner will be easy to crown! Here are the details of this contest that is an easy chance to win a $25 eGift Card:

i’d f**k elvis (ruff memphis demo) - JUST released TODAY!

SEX KISS – semi-NEW SINGLE!

You’ll be entered for a chance to win a $25 eGift Card from RizzoTees.

Technically Speaking, it’s one of those things like the lottery – you can’t win if you don’t play – I posted the original details of this contest right HERE!
