My creative outlet is making one of a kind custom stage and party wear from recycled and vintage fabrics. My designs have been worn by performers on national music television in Australia, on stage in London, IBiza, San Francisco, Germany, Finland, Bali, and India, on several tours in Australia, and are collected by fashion designers and fine artists. All garments are certified one of a kind and records/photos are cataloged. My bio and info at http://www.recycledfordancing.com

I work on festivals and sometimes consult and recommend talent. I am also the founder of Gigslist.org to help folks and friends in the industry. If you are serious about finding a gig or selling your music to film and TV, go to Gigslist.org register a free account and post your stuff. Nobody is going to do it for you unless you pay them and let's face it, musicians are too unemployed or too cheap to pay. So pull your fingers off the pipe or bong or whatever and walk them over the computer keys and give yourself a fighting chance of making some money from the music that you love so much.

Hey Music Lovers,
Ear Candy will celebrate five years of streaming music on Live365.com next moth and I am looking for bands, labels, publicists, and musicians that want to donate some stuff to be given away next month.
I am also looking for peeps that would like to make radio promos too! You can send wav, mp3 or aiff files to: mayhall@fuse.net. Thanks to greg of Buzz Universe for being the first person to send me one.
