DFTBA Records: An Introduction

[sparky5408]

CHAMELEON CIRCUIT FOR THE WIN!

[VxTRIPWIRExV]

Who does You and Me?

[tmoney12346]

How do I get DFTBA records to sign me?

[BenGriffithsReviews]

@tmoney12346 That question's on the FAQs on the website. It says that it's currently invite only, so just start by posting any songs you have to YouTube and maybe put them in video responses to vlogbrothers vids?

[FLPman]

it would be neat to spread that into other art venues.. like video/film and other art type stuff (sorry i was only curious about the video/film thing) via youtube

[lenkid]

Hank actually points in the right direction now, with the layout change XD

[LittleBlackSparrow]

Hey i am also a Musician who has lately been putting music on youtube (my stuff is alot more serious and less techno-ee) i would be amazing if you could checkout my channel and listen to my music

[lovelyspringweather]

hank is so hyper lol

[ADanTran]

he pointed down!!!

[mebedanni]

I know DFTBA Records isn't just for nerdfighters, but it seems 3/4 of the people on it are nerdfighters... Does that mean that Davedays is a nerdfighter :) XD I know he probably isn't, BUT how cool would it be :D

[PurrGrrl]

How do musicians submit for this project? How many views or how much of an audience to we need? :)

[firnantok]

[TwIsTeDSiStEr99]

[JasmineEsMi]

[no1cares214]

[reaper1545]

[kitface09]

[HackerGuitarist]

they need to learn how to get the levels between music and narration on a simple vid correct before selling their "music label"

[thatwimp123]

[abannis]

alan is sooo cute when hank is all: CHARTS!!! CHAAARTS!!! hihi

i like you guys. this was a great idea to make this record lable.

[Grygazol]

If nerdfighters can get DJ Paige Railstone officially recognized as a person by the 20 Questions site, there's no reason they can't get a DFTBA artist or two on the VH1 countdown with the one write in slot they allow voters.

[JustAMinuteOYourTime]

When are you going to sign Paige Railstone?!

[jfung79]

Hi, I found out about Chamelon Circuit from their interview in Doctor Who Magazine #411, so old media is playing a part in your success as well, and then I found out about DFTBA Records from reading online about Chameleon Circuit. Good luck, and this is such a great idea, a YouTube music record label!!

[jfung79]

Oops, I meant Doctor Who Magazine #410. LOL. :) And by the way I love the energy in this video from Hank, lol.

[zjhacia]

Good

[Francis9105]

Nerdfighteria is starting to take over the world.

This. Is. Awesome.

[sspissu]

As is rightly so! :-)

[moolikeachicken]

aw alan...you're so sweet.

And hank is hilarious XD

you both never forget to be awesome : 3

[ImArielle]

Congrats on making the front page! DFTBA rocks! =)

[tanner1ie]

Sign Grayharp1, Shannon Jones to her friends.

She's great, she's the most amazing singer i've come across on Youtube (or anywhere).

Her old channel, Grayharp had about 2000 subscribers, she was featured, then a spammer got access to her account and got her suspended, and we all know what happens when Youtube account get suspended - goodbye!

Her new page Grayharp1 now has about 900 subscribers.

Again, Sign Grayharp1 ! :) .

[THAONES518]

hey so i was wonderin we just built like a home studio and our stuff is soundin wayy better like ridiculous ill have it posted on youtube soon so if i sent you guys some stuff and u liked it could we talk? thats if u do rap and hiphop =]

[Zoro11031]

You guys should totally release a freddegredde cd! He is an amazing artist!

[zenrocksfan]

"the link is in the thingy" GENIUS!

[julianuknow]

This is another pathetic attempt to capture something the web can give... I wish people with "real" talent could actually come to the forefront.

So many people think of this media as a way to deliver their lame content.. however they somehow fall pathetically short.. but.... wait a minute..... OMFG 2 total DORKS are somehow trying to pass there no talent skills !!! More power to you if you succeed. ("HOW MANY RELEASES DO WE HAVE??? ".... "We have over 10 releases!!!!!") Totally pathetic!!

[victorythynameiskbo]

Yeah, because people who sit on YouTube and write totally worthless put-down comments are obviously on their way to becoming the greatest talent the world has ever known.

[BoredChemist]

the thingey is on your left hank

[charlesthemeerkat]

hey! 1000 hours is a green day song!!!

oh well, hey this is serious, DFTBA records, i might learn how to sing soon and then get a small band together and join DFTBA records, is that ok? I might have to get a little older though.

[idontplayrs111]

is fattyspins in that group?

[lightglasspiano]

you can actually sell more records if you just followed the simple training in free online videos. try tinyurl (dottcom) /videotrainingart I know its hard to read but its the only way youtube lets me share this with people who don't know how to start a record company

[reinix]

yay! dftba!

[silentsniperrr]

dont sign up any rappers.... ha

[debbielikescereall]

I wish I could intern for DFTBA Records, it'd be awesome!

D:

[damion84]

You should consider signing Harvey Wallbanger. =3

[mikefalzone]

I'd love to be on this label.

[animeotaku]

Love the end, Alan!!

And you gotta love Hank's enthusiasm. :)

[seshuna101]

[P00P0STER0US]

Congratulations to you guys for pulling it all together; you're doing great work.

[Syaoran69]

So the entire time I was watching this video I was thinking

"Wow, John and Hank should get a little watermark thing in the corner of their videos... and have a competition with the nerdfighters to get the best one possible."

[CoolHandJohnny]

OMG! the ENTIRE time i was going, "what is that song? who does that song? i MUST HAVE that song!!!" only to find out at the end that, technically, i DO have that song. already pre-ordered.

sometimes life is just so ridiculously awesome.

[bayboyvision]

Come 2 MD!

commenting

[16Angelwings]

I admire you guys for helping those that need to get noticed...GOOD JOB!

[RobertGrahamPC]

You guys are doing a good deed. To those musicians who are not getting the credit they deserve.

[jerzynic]

I get it, but I don't......c some wierd shit. Search Stalking Hotline

[lacksmyorganics]

whooooo dftba!

[prongslover77]

so I don't have time to watch the vid. But I know it will be awesome as always!! Yay nerdfighters who get featured!!!! DFTBA!!! I feel like insulting the mean people with shakespeare...i'll do that later

[dctcool]

If you purchase the DFTBA cd's are users allowed to use the songs in their Youtube videos, since the main target audience is indeed Youtube users?

[fallofautumndistro]

Most of the songs yes, we have a list of which are okay on our website under the "Music Program" tab.

[Aankivbay]

Awesome. . . . Also awesome, you guys should seek-out a guitarist in Holly Ridge North Carolina.

[krazykizza]

Also, your on charts because people are downloading your songs free from the internet and no one cares about buying rock music at high prices. I wouldn't even bother pirating your music because it is really bad.

[fallofautumndistro]

The charts we were on were iTunes and Billboard, both of which only track PAID FOR downloads, so, sorry, but you are incorrect. =)

[missmossxx]

... is there even such a thing as a chart for illegally download music? I mean, I don't know... there might be... seems sort of a silly thing to advertise though. "Five million people have gained access to this track using immoral means." Ahdunno, maybe it's just me.

[krazykizza]

Refer to the above reply.

[krazykizza]

I didn't phrase it right, your on the charts because people are downloading OTHER material in the category for free.

[littleradge]

Oh yeah, iTunes' highly popular "Free Illegal Download Chart"? Yeah, we dominated that.

[krazykizza]

Refer to the reply I sent above. I phrased it wrong. They are artifically high due to piracy of music, if everyone paid for it, they would not be on there as they would be beaten by others.

[littleradge]

In that case, how come they're not pirating our music at the same time, especially if it's "really bad"? Your logic sucks, dude. xD

[krazykizza]

They not pirating yours because it sucks that mad its a waste of hard drive space. Seriously, your kidding no one.

[littleradge]

And that's why they're paying for it instead? You're just being silly now. Maybe it's time to admit you're just one kid with an overactive opinion. =)

[krazykizza]

Or an opinion that speaks for the majority of people my age? Face it, your only in these charts because no one is buying music, instead buying tickets to concerts and merchandise. Your business is flagging.

[littleradge]

I feel like we've been here before. Do you always go in circles like this? It explains a lot.

[krazykizza]

People like you need a lot of help understanding how wrong you are. Because of your low IQ the higher intelegence needs to explain it multiple times for it to sink in. Do you understand... MORON??????

[krazykizza]

The failing gene pool that you are in needs it explaining several times for it to sink in.

[missmossxx]

Um... Kizza, just because you don't like the music doesn't mean that no-one else in your age group does. *points out*

[chiro1994]

I'm a little confused... if you hate this music so much why do you bother coming back to this video so often? i mean, you've commented, like, 20 times. what's your motivation? if i was that motivated to do something (anything) i'd go write a book

[krazykizza]

Im in the process of writing a book infact, Im finding this very funny!

[chiro1994]

well then, good luck! writing is supposed to be a really good anger management therapy! i'd really like to read about your reavings from yourself! send me a copy as soon as you're done!

[littleradge]

Resorting to petty insults instead of another poorly-constructed argument just proves my point. And the irony of your inability to spell "intelligence" or to differentiate between "your" and "you're", only to call someone ELSE a moron, is just beautiful. Thanks for making my day. xD

[krazykizza]

No problem, nice to hear such a small thing makes someones day! I love helping the little people!

[brikentheCOMMENTARY]

This is a sad example of what people are like outside nerdfighteria...

[wheezywaiter]

krazy, to assume everyone thinks or should think like you is a dangerous and, well, ignorant way to be. Certainly, there may be people that share your opinion about this music, but I doubt many of them would agree that your rudeness, pompousness, condescension, and name calling is warranted.

[krazykizza]

Did i say everyone? I said majority. And name calling? coming from your foul mouth. Very funny post, I think this is the funniest reply so far.

[BollocksedUp]

Can't we all just get along? I think it is group hug time.
