Social Blend is happy to announce that we will be giving away a Mixx Award for Mixxers with each edition of the podcast!  Many of you would remember, way back in the day, we used to have a feature on the older versions of the podcast called User Focus; where we would look at one particular Mixxer and discuss why YOU should be following them.

We’ve decided to bring this feature back to Social Blend, and with it, we get to give out a cool little Mixx award, which looks like this:

Yep, that’s right, it’s a beer mug with the Mixx “M” logo on it!  The perfect award for Social Blend!

So, how could you get yourself a brew icon on your awards?  It’s easy: just keep doing what you are doing… keep submitting, commenting, and participating at Mixx.  The User Focus is open to all Mixxers, whether you’re a seasoned Super Mixxer, or whether you’ve just started at the site.

Also, coming soon, will be the Social Blend SB Badge over at Mixx.  We’ve always had an open invitation to ALL Mixxers to come and join us on the show at any time.  This SB Badge will be placed permanently on the profiles of Mixxers who have guested and/or co-hosted the show with us at any given time.  It’s a simple little icon, and looks like this:

All this begins this week on the next Social Blend.  Speaking of which, what is coming up for the show?  This week Corey Koehler aka MusicGoat joins us for our 5th Craniumelody show, which is where we pick some music for you guys to check out.  We do the Craniumelody episodes once every couple of months.

Then, next week, we resume our regular programming.  Special guests on upcoming episodes include Andrew Zilch, Bridget Ayers, and even perhaps… YOU!  Yes, if you’re interested in joining us on the show, let us know, you would be welcome to join us.

And finally, as always, we’re always on the lookout for unsigned bands for our Band Of The Week feature.  If you’re in a band, or know someone who is, get in contact with us at http://twitter.com/cgt2099 or http://twitter.com/silentjay74 or by emailing us at socialblend [AT] gmail [dot] com.

Take it easy, and we’ll catch you later this week for Craniumelody 5!!!!!
