Free music for everyone BY BROOK BRISTOW THE GAMECOCK The Internet music game has a new player: FightCloud.com. While fightcloud isn’t a down loading service, it does provide free music. New artists promote their CDs here by giving them away to the public. How it works is simple: go to the Web site, click on the link for the genre you’re interested in and then listen to the CDs in that category. If you like the music, you can order it for free. As always, though, there’s a catch: a $4.95 shipping and handling charge that covers the artist’s costs in manufacturing, warehousing and shipping. Right now, FightCloud.com is a little thin, with only four artists on its roster. The lineup consists of country singer/songwriter Marc Corey Lee, who has performed with Dwight Yoakum, Merle Haggard and Jo Dee Messina; rap artist Eternal Tribe; fusion jazz artist Rico Garcia, who has performed with such greats as George Ben son and Sammy Davis Jr; and film and TV composer Glenn Scott Lacey. Other features on Fight Cloud.com include a CD an nouncement newsletter, which is e-mailed to subscribers every time a new CD becomes available on the site. Another thing to check out is the artist Submission section. If you have a band or have recorded a CD, you have a chance to be featured on the Web site. This is a fairly well-done Web site. The graphics are reasonable and load quickly. The music is well done, but the lack of selec tion is disappointing. This site is geared toward col lege students, but college stu dents usually don’t go for artists they don’t know. This is a great place, though, for anyone who has a CD, isn’t signed and wants to gain expo sure, both nationwide and world wide. For now, FightCloud.com won’t be a major player in the In ternet music game. Maybe once it has a full cata logue, the California-based com pany can contend and give these hard-working artists the expo sure they deserve.
