First Bump!

[Ryan]

Now that I know how to "First Bump" (thanks, Greg!), I love watching for and "finding" new tracks. Though I'm being pretty picky, and have passed over a lot of stuff that's just plain bad. (Reliably, any zero bump song gets its first bump within a few minutes anyway.) Of course, "First Bumps" are expensive, but they pay off if the song does well.

So, in that vein, I'd like to know when y'all get to "First Bump," and I'll chip in a bump of my own. If the song takes off, it'll be great for everyone!


Neuriel just joined thesixtyone.com. A techno outfit. "Leaps from Remains" won me over immediately with the brassy intro. Of course, with "First Bumps," you have to decide within seconds if you like a track... but I think this one's a winner.

Is the only way to find songs with zero bumps on The Rack? Do you have to be a certain Level to do this easier? Seems like I'm having a harder time than some of you, that's all!

Walter,
Go to the "Browse" tab at the top of your screen. Make sure the Genre is "All" and the Sort By is "Today." In the Bumps boxes (where you see min & max) enter 0 in min & 10 in max. All the songs that have 0 to 10 that were released today will appear. It's faster to find the "0's" that way.
Good Luck!

Thanks! I haven't sorted by "today" yet so maybe that will help. Usually the smallest amount of bumps I've seen browsing is 1.

Well, I first bumped a cover of Say it Ain't So by Weezer...not a bad tune.

So how the heck DO you find un-bumped songs. I haven't seen one yet, despite listening to nearly 3,000 songs so far! What's the secret?

[Blaine Fergerstrom]

D'oh. Post that, then see Kalei spilling the beans... hehehe. Mahalo!

First bumped Winter Came by Daniel Ellsworth. Great find and a great tune!
