Yep running a website usually means you want drive traffic to it, so here a good one LRRecords been using, get into it if your serious about generating web traffic:

SCORPION RECORDS
Check these folks out if your keen on your punk and hardcore sounds. They have a bunch of great releases and a fantastic attitude. Another myspace friend…

Scorpion Records was started in 1999 after dealing with a growing number of people in the music industry as well as show promoters. It became obvious, bands (unfortunately) need label backing to succeed. Although, sometimes the backing goes as quickly as it came if the bands don’t produce enough money for the label. We decided to try and create something unique. A label that acts like a family, with bands that help support each other to achieve their goals. A label that gives the artist freedom to create what they believe in while giving them the backing of a label that so many industry people insist you need. We don’t limit ourselves to any one style band nor do we ever plan to. In an industry that is too often “what can you do for me” we try and take the stand, “how can we help each other”.

Got this one thanks to new myspace freind Congo Judah

Judgement Yard was established as a community centre in August Town by Sizzla Kalonji. As the owner and founder of the Yard, he is responsible for many youths here in the community of August Town, as well as youths who come from other areas to seek assistance and guidance in life as well as music.

Judgement Yard is like a home to many Rastafari youth, of which the majority wear turbans and trod the earth as battlefield warriors in Selassie Army in that I and I “burn” corruption and dirty livity. Many of these same youths who are members of Judgement Yard fraternity are musicians or have some direct affiliation with the music through production works, artiste works, etc. Some of these talents are featured on this website, but many more will follow because Judgement Yard is ever progressive and never idle. As Sizzla Kalonji is a versatile pioneer within Reggae music, so are all of the battlefield warriors who compromise the body of the Judgement Yard organism, while Sizzla represents the head.

OK Folks - some new internet radio recommendations!

BIGUP RADIO
If a farmer is harvesting wheat they must separate the wheat from the chaff. The wheat is the good part, like good reggae music. The chaff is not edible, like reggae that is no good. BigupRadio separates the wheat from the chaff. BigupRadio only plays the best, most slamming DANCEHALL and steady rockin ROOTS reggae music.

BigupRadio is one of our favourates and has so much great music to explore!

LAST.FM

Listen to something new. Last.fm radio learns what you like and gets better.
Last.fm is also a great social music platform and not only a radio station. Unlike many of our fellow webcasters, we have a vibrant social network, a massive music fanbase, and people spend a lot of time using the site without ever switching on the radio.

Happy listening…!

Envirofiesta is a favourite event in the Cairns year bringing many sections of this
multi cultural community together to champion the cause of being aware of our

Dozens of locals volunteer their time many skills to make Envirofiesta the great day it is. Through sharing their creativity or by taking time to help in the multitude of tasks required to produce a festival this size, these volunteers produce an event valued by an ever growing community of the environmentally concious.
