I just discovered a new music marketing blog (hat tip to Gerd Leonhard). The post that caught my immediate attention was The Top 10 Music Social Networks.
This is the final week of The Show by Ze Frank. A full year commitment fulfilled. Talk about a challenge!
Ze inspired me a lot this past year. His show is most definitely 2nd Tier, even if he doesn’t know it. But that didn’t inspire me as much as his prolific output. That, and his total [...]
It seems that with the infiltration of spam sites and splogs into Google’s search index, they came up with a duplicate content filter to solve this problem.

Best practice is to provide full feeds and [...]

From Instapundit:
THOMAS DOLBY is now blogging.
I also found a great video of him performing a synth medley with Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder and Howard Jones from the 1985 Grammys. I remember seeing it as a 13 year old and freaking out. It cemented my desire to be a synth geek

From Get Down with the People:
Today I participated in a meeting with a group of senior marketers from one of the largest global companies in the world. At one point the exec who convened the team asked me point blank, “Steve, what’s the most important thing we need to do as marketers in this new [...]
I was talking to my roommate about starting a blog yesterday and the subject of copyright came up. I told him about the Creative Commons license. As a serendipitous example of morphogenetic fields, these posts showed up in my newsreader: A CC First and Creative Commons has teeth.

As a practice of taking multiple perspectives, I thought it would be a good idea to try to understand the situation in Iraq by reading the opinions of Iraqis. This blog seems like a good place to start.
A nasty war has been flaming around Dave Winer. It’s sad to watch. I have to admit that since I’ve been reading Dave’s blog for a long time now, I find he has a neurotic attachment to being the victim from time to time. He is only human. It’s nothing a little 3–2–1 couldn’t fix. [...]

Friday Morning Miscellany:
Indie musicians looking for a good deal on digital distribution should look at Tunecore. Its no-frills pledge: “You get 100% of what iTunes and Rhapsody pay! We take NOTHING. Not a penny. It all goes to you. There are NO hidden costs or fees.

I’ve got a garage full of synths. Why won’t somebody tell me what to do with them? Korg’s not blogging. Kurzweil’s not blogging. I’m looking for synth blogs. Here’s what I’ve found so far:
Piano and Synth
Create Digital Music
Matrix Synth
Art Brodsky of PublicKnowledge reporting from the Consumer Electronics Show:
FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said he drew a distinction between content shifted around a home network, and content shift outside, also known as piracy [to some].
I’m not sure exactly how I feel about DRM yet. But as a musician, I’m leaning towards letting go of ever [...]

I have been traveling quite a bit this past year speaking about the Future of Music at industry conferences, tradeshows and other music related events. The topic of music formats always comes up and I encourage people to think expansively and try and [...]
