CashorTrade.org Mobile App is Back!

CashOrTrade.org Mobile AppFrom Cash Or Trade

“There are big plans for CashorTrade in 2013 and mobile functionality is the first release of many to help fans embrace face value in the upcoming year. CashorTrade had a web app in 2010 that was decent, but limited. The new web app packs full website functionality into a much smaller browser. The CashorTrade web app is a lightweight, easy to use interface that scales for all devices. Enjoy the many features of CashorTrade from anywhere. From navigating the trade list, to posting a trade, to making an offer or payment, and even leaving a review…the mobile app makes it easy to turn what you have into what you want!

 

CashorTrade has taken the liberty to fully integrate their Store and Group features as well. “We are gearing up to better market artists in the community and their products. This is an important part of the year’s plan. Including them in the mobile app was a must,” says Brando. Also, keeping up with the exclusivity of trade groups, the group trade lists are linked right from the mobile homepage, making it now even easier to trade with those in your closest circles.

 

CashorTrade has partnered with 17 music websites/blogs. Each of these have installed the Trade List Widget within their site offering users more direct access to Face Value Tickets. These partner sites are linked from the app’s homepage.

 

Stay tuned for more! This is just the beginning. The completion of the API 2.0 is on the way. This new advancement will take CashorTrade far beyond a simple trade list widget, and finally be the full featured API they’ve dreamed about. As this is a web app now, the API 2.0 will be making way for an iPhone and Android app in the near future, opening CashorTrade up to the developer world entirely.”

Alan Evans Trio Releases New Album ‘Merkaba’

From AlanEvansTrio.com
“The funk and soul band Alan Evans Trio, featuring legendary drummer Alan Evans of Soulive, releases their highly anticipated follow-up album, Merkaba, which is due to impact Earth on Tuesday, March 19, 2013. Following the release, the Alan Evans Trio will kick off their national tour, with a 20+ date run with stops in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Denver, and a performance at the all-inclusive VIP music event Rock n Roll Resort, taking place April 12 – 14 in the Catskills of New York.

The perfect road trip album for the everyday space traveler, Merkaba will take listeners on a cosmic funk adventure. With spacey Hammond organ overlays provided by the energetically charged Beau Sasser (Melvin Sparks Band, Akashic Record), zero-gravity guitar riffs by guitar virtuoso Danny Mayer (On the Spot Trio) and the rocket powered beats of legendary drummer Alan Evans (founding member of Soulive), the Alan Evans Trio follow up album to their critically-acclaimed Drop Hop, invites listeners to experience an interstellar musical voyage that is as deep as space itself.

Produced, recorded, and mixed by Alan Evans himself, Merkaba showcases Evans’ musical genius, as he contributed musically to nearly every instrument on the album. Additionally, Merkaba features special guest traveler and luminary hip hop guitarist, Mike Feingold (Jay-Z, Erykah Badu), on banjo, guitar, and keyboard.

“I can’t wait for everyone and anyone to hear this album. This album is all of me. This album is for the loves of my life and there are songs on here that I never thought would see the light of day, but the alignment of the universe made the timing just perfect,” says Evans of the new Merkaba.

An interstellar transmission of Alan Evans Trio’s signature sound, Merkaba aspires to be that head-bobbing, funkadelic soundtrack for Earthlings everywhere.

The new release Merkaba will be available on CD, vinyl, and in digital in select retail outlets around the globe, and the neighboring solar systems. For digital tunes fans will be able to purchase Merkaba on iTunes at: Merkaba.”
