Just posted a third song called 'surfin' at 15megsoffame.com. Thanks to my friend Steph for the current five out of five star rating : )

15 megs of fame
I have just registered and posted two songs at 15megsoffame.com, a platform that allows independent artists and laptop guerilla minstrels (I fall into the latter category) to upload their music to be reviewed by their peers and the public. This site was created by skinnyCorp, the same team that launched Threadless which offers the same platform for T-shirt design.
These sites are what the internet is all about. Anyone with a little talent can be a T-shirt designer or write a song and share it with the world. It is only by your efforts and the feedback of your peers that your output is deemed relevant. The corporate bigwig suddenly has no say in the matter whatsoever. Unless he/she is truly a fan.

keepin' up..
It's been awhile since I've posted here. This should not be taken as a sign that I'm drifting from my blogging duties in any way. They have simply been relocated for the time being. We have been hard at work revising and relaunching the IBC blog, now with topical right hand column. This is going to be an area that will contain articles that focus on IBC and current goings on around the office. I love the new look and have already started planning how I might adapt the same format on this site.
Other IBC blog news of interest. Just over a month ago, we posted a link to a video of some kid lip synching to this half yodel/half euro house tune. Since that time, this video has been dubbed "the new Star Wars kid" and until recently if you googled "maya hee maya hoo", our link was the first on the list. Have we inadvertantly become the goto source for a viral video of a fat yodelling teenager? Go figure.
Finally, I have become obsessed with a website called fotologue.jp which, in my opinion, offers the best format for sharing photos on the internet (they were just days off of making it into my Top Ten List). I am working on setting up a project with them. Language barriers pending. Hopefully I will have more info on this soon.

firstChild site posted
www.kevinbroome.com/firstchild
I have posted a beta version of the firstChild site here. There are only three songs available for download at the moment but we hope to get some more material up soon. Feedback would be most appreciated.
The latest news on this project is that "Julia Sets" has been used as the closing credits for the short film/sitcom pilot "Stacey and Mary" by Jason Karman. More info on this is soon to follow.
