Ugh..is there anything left to be said about the collective jizzfest the interwebz had over the new Arcade Fire “video”?? It’s not a video. Its a video game with their new single playing in the background. A mainly passive video game. But a video game nonetheless. On the website they recommend you shut down all [...]
Kanye West is on his grind. He’s going to be releasing a new song EVERY FRIDAY UNTILL CHRISTMAS! Sorry about the yelling. It’s just impressive to see an artist working so hard. Or at least capturing the media’s attention with such claims. His latest release Monster is sure to be a huge crossover hit if [...]
Why is it that every time I hear a song that really gets me, I have to go find out everything about the artist, the person or people who created it? I say that it’s all about the music, but there’s been plenty of times where I’ve liked an artist more or less depending on [...]
Everybody’s favourite Mouthpiece, Kanye West, had a much publicized entrance into social media earlier this summer as he stormed onto Facebook to preform and Twitter to take over. Why would he be doing this? He’s got a new album of course. Did ya notice how long it took him to get onto twitter? That is [...]
When it comes to social networks, musicians often view Last.fm as the runt of the litter when compared against the likes of Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Tumblr. Sure, it might be a social network with healthy traffic (5.5 million uniques a month according to Compete) and a great active user base (over 1,000 scrobbles per [...]
Watch this: This is a hit. The melody, production, topic, and hook are irrisitable. Some naysayers have questioned whether this will be played on the radio. But this ain’t Horseville, and who cares, this doesn’t need to touch TERRESTRIAL radio and it will still sell a million copies. Satellite radio and the internet are all [...]
Magnets how do they work? Event security how does it work? Expanding your fanbase how does it work? All questions that were floating around the heads of many people at the annual Insane Clown Posse mecca, the Gathering of the Juggalos. Unfortunately all of those questions remained unanswered. While ICP played to a rabid and welcoming fan base. [...]
My car was broken into the other weekend. I parked it in a nice safe residential neighbourhood and forgot to lock it. Naturally, growing up in the 90′s I have gathered an extensive CD collection in my car. Every Zeppelin, Smashing Pumpkins, and 2Pac album was in there, and yet they were all left untouched. At first I [...]
I was reading Bob Lefsetz’ latest mail bag email, when an email from Robin Millar came in talking about Sade. He helped produce Sade on her breakout hit “Smooth Operator” in the 80′s and was dumbstruck when label after label turned them down when he knew this would do well. “…every record company turned them [...]
Weezer Funds New Album, Hurley, With Massive Product Placement
I am a long time Weezer fan. From Blue Album to . . ahem. . Hurley (Weezer’s peculiarly titled new album) I will always support one of the first important bands in my life. So it is with a lot of love and good deal of humor I have watched Weezer make a career for themselves, and navigate [...]
