• We’re all about animal sounds on the ‘Cloud this week on Found Sounds. So moo-ve on over there to check it out. (Quick poll: that was the best pun you’ve ever read — yay or neigh?)

Wednesday

• It’s still Dienstag on the West Coast, Deutsch Dienstag!
  
• This week on Remixes/Contests/Submissions…So, you all know that Retro/Grade make rhythmic noise, but now they want to hear your rhythmic noise! // Brandon Howard (affectionately known by his stage name ‘B. Howard’) is an American recording artist, producer, songwriter, and a rising star in the global music scene. // After ten years Jake Bailey has finally decided to release his own album ‘Acres of Sky’ on June 20th and he’s offering you the chance to participate in the album launch by creating your own unique remix of the single ‘Infatuation Never Dies’.

Thursday

• Great use case!
• Jamiroquai want to ’Spread the Smile’ using SoundCloud and Webdoc. Tried embedding SoundCloud with Webdoc yet?
