This year’s
event, taking place on Tuesday, April 29, 2008, marks the company’s
30th annual Free Cone Day.
Over one million free cones are given away each year, prompting the
company’s ad slogan “Be One In A Million.” Charitable organizations are
often present at the stores each year and enjoy a significant amount of
fundraising success. Sometimes the event is scheduled to coincide with
Earth Day and sometimes volunteers are on hand with clipboards and
voter registration forms to help those who would like to register to
vote.
The first Free Cone Day was held on May 5, 1979. It was done by Ben and
Jerry as a customer and staff appreciation event for the one year
anniversary of their ice cream store’s opening. The 29th annual Free
Cone Day was celebrated on April 17, 2007.

So I’m wondering if anyone out there uses this site regularly and if so does the music transfer to portable devices?
Seemed like a lot of urban/r&b artists were popular on the site but definitely worth checking out. I did see our favorites Black Tide on the front page for download so check that out.
Leave us a comment and give us your opinion of the free downloads!

Jill Sobule of “I Kissed a Girl” fame is turning to her fanbase to raise $75,000 to help her produce her next album. She’s been dumped by two major labels in the past and her two indie labels went bankrupt, so she’s taken matters into her own hands and her fans are with her every step of the way. It’s co-creation at customer engagement at its finest.

Via interview here with Steve Schnur
Today, labels around the world are launching artists’ entire careers around their inclusion in a top-selling title like Madden, FIFA, or Need for Speed. Radio is adding songs based on a band’s inclusion in these games. In less than seven years, video games have become the most effective way to breaking new music.
Epic Records credits Madden 2003 as being instrumental in the breaking of Good Charlotte. Avril Lavigne was first introduced to European audiences through FIFA 2003. Fabolous was first introduced in America via NBA Live, and went on to sell over 2 million albums here. JET got their American iPod commercial based on exposure in Madden 2004. Avenged Sevenfold were an unsigned act when featured in Madden 2004. In the weeks following the game’s release, their independent album sold tens of thousands of copies without radio airplay, and they were signed to a major label soon after.
The FIFA 2005 soundtrack featured the earliest appearances of Franz Ferdinand, Marcelo D2, and Scissor Sisters. Sony Records credits Madden 2005 as being instrumental in the breaking of Franz Ferdinand in North America. Ozomatli, a band that has existed for years with minimal sales and exposure, got an iPod commercial, a career-changing sales jump, and a Grammy nomination based on their exposure in Madden 2005.
Within the past two years, there have been major international breakthroughs from acts that include Robyn, Mando Diao, Arctic Monkeys, Klaxons, Bloc Party, LCD Soundsystem, Dúné, Tribalista, Go Team, Bullet for My Valentine, The Caesars, Kasabian, Lupe Fiasco, MIA, Wolfmother, Hawthorne Heights, and others.
It’s all real and exciting proof that video games are a critical component of the new industry paradigm.
