Uk Festivals – Which one’s to apply to…
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 [...]
Thanks?!
Spent the day in London town yesterday having meetings, had the BPI indie comm and ended up at a showcase in Piccadilly. Last train back to Birmingham at 10:10pm and I went into WHSmith for a bottle of water but came across a book titled “How To Make It In Music” which Rob Da Bank [...]
We7 vs. Spotify
I love it when a company tracks inward url’s as I believe that’s how Gareth from We7 from came across my blog post and left me a comment. It’s great. Every company should do it. Despite the title, the blog post isn’t going to be an A-B comparison of We7 to Spotify. Neither will I [...]
Spotify: so good, they only had to name it once
Thought a post was overdue about the magic that is… Spotify.
What is it then? Well, it’s one of the latest ad supported/subscription/streaming music models about. Still currently in BETA mode and invite only, they have started to roll out invitations. Through this, they’re creating hype and a real buzz on the ethernet.

“Your blogroll defines you…”

This week brings reports that an artist formally known as Chris Brown, now known as corporate sell out whore, was using his lyrics to subliminally advertise Wrigleys chewing gum.
I cannot emphasise enough how sad it makes me feel where we’re entering the age of ad-placement and subliminal advertising into music. When we let the advertisers [...]

A New Villain?
This post origianlly appeared and was written for the Gigbeth Conference website.
It’s not all doom and gloom within the music industry. In fact, it’s probably worth taking a look around and making the best out of what you’ve got. This week, the IFPI released it’s 2008 statistical handbook to members. The rankings haven’t changed really, [...]
Downloads
This post origianlly appeared and was written for the Gigbeth Conference website.
It doesn’t matter what side of the fence you sit on the BIG download debate, there’s good news and bad news.
Currently, the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), the UK recording industry trade body, are negotiating with the ISP’s to voluntary regulate people’s downloads. It’s suggested [...]
