Mixed CD Trade
Over the months since starting BIRP I've been trading mixes with anyone who'd like to receive one. If you'd like to receive a mix CD you must first send me one because of the amount I receive in the mail. Once received I'll mail one back to the return address. If interest please email

BIRP! TV
This section of the website is dedicated to sharing all the great indie/rock related music videos out there on youtube. Everyone can contribute at anytime just by being a member of the site. No need to upload anything on the site, just find the URL of the video you want to share on youtube, and paste it in the Upload section of BIRP Tv. This makes it easier for everyone to browse new music videos without spending hours surfing through other useless videos on youtube.
Community Playlist
The community playlist is an alternative playlist on this site that every member can take part in. Everyone who signs up to the site gets to submit one song of there choice to be added to the playlist. You can submit your song in the forum in the designated community playlist topic in the music section. Each time the community playlist reaches 100 tracks it is then uploaded to several filesharing sites and shared by torrent for everyone to download.
Important: To make it easier to go through each song please post the track in [Artist Name - Song Title] format. This makes it much much easier to sort though. And if you have a link to the file please include it.
