I love music.\u00a0 Not all music, admittedly, but lots of music.\u00a0 It is so easy today to find and catalogue old favorites that I do get a little lazy about searching for new bands.\u00a0 One of the ways that new artists try to reach an audience is by running sweepstakes with copies of their CD's as prizes<\/a>.\u00a0 Do you put in\u00a0entries to take a chance on\u00a0new bands, or do you tend to skip right past these sweeps?<\/p>\n

If you're feeling a little adventurous, you might be rewarded with a new CD that you really like.\u00a0 Should you discover that there is a really good reason what that CD is not getting any airplay and never will, all it cost you is a minute of your time to fill out the entry form.\u00a0 And on the plus side, you can always regift it to someone who might actually like it.\u00a0 Or not, heh, heh.<\/p>\n

Luckily for us, the last two unknown artist sweepstakes we won<\/a> both found fans within the household.\u00a0 The heavy metal faction claimed the “Razor” CD and sets the dial at 11.\u00a0 The singalong crew vastly prefers the catchy “Rooney” CD, played at a less strident volume.<\/p>\n

For music you can download<\/a> right to your computer, Marlboro always has a new selection of featured artists.\u00a0 As sponsors go, Marlboro is 5-star.\u00a0 They run several fun sweepstakes each year with very desirable prizes<\/a>.\u00a0 In addition, they give out a lot of free items and coupons along with the free music downloads.\u00a0 Their selections tend to lean towards rock, bluegrass and country.\u00a0 If your musical tastes are more smooth urban, Black&Mild is another sponsor that has free music you can download.\u00a0 Like Marlboro, they also run frequent sweepstakes<\/a> with rather nice prizes.<\/p>
