Is public domain harming choice for the public?
It’s nearly 2010… for a lot of you, the only thing on your mind would be top 10 albums of the year (I’ve already chosen a definite 3), but there are a lot of people very excited about the stroke of midnight come the 31st of December, it’s because a lot of works will fall [...]
Hey Spotify how about…
Spotify certainly rule the headlines as far as streaming start-ups go. 2008-9 has seen a massive increase in presence, users and hype. Today brings the announcement that their iPhone app has now been approved. There was a lot of ‘will they, won’t they’ hype about this because Apple have recently taken a lot of heat [...]
The future of the music industry
2 videos for you to watch, pretty much both about Nine Inch Nails, but really, it’s about the future of music. The first of which comes from Techdirt [RSS], a presentation from CEO Mike Masnick. Using various case studies, he points out that these experimental models seem to be working, very well. It’ll take 30 [...]
RIP: A Remix Manifesto

Let Sky Larkin show you how it’s done

According to Twitter, 23 days ago, I posted this tweet: “Imagine, if you could buy demo’s (work in progress) on iTunes, [...]

This post is a long time coming. If you’re an artist, you’re going to get a lot out of this one…
There are more artists and bands out there than ever, which is great. But it also means our email traffic increases. One thing I’ve noticed, is that bands are getting lazy, all too often music [...]

It’s not often my blogs are aimed at artists, usually I have have a handful of artists I give advice to / send stuff to from time to time, but thought I would open it up a little. So if your an artist/act, believe it or not, your already leaving it a bit late to [...]
