Mixcloud Niche Site for DJs

September 1, 2011

I just stumbled across a website that allows you to upload your music for free, and then put a player on your site. It’s mixcloud.com It’s based out of the UK, and currently I don’t get the  catch. They are all about streaming (no legal rights to deliver downloads) and there seems to be a [...]

Smiles Everyone Smiles!

August 21, 2011

David Lee Roth once said that he jumps around on stage because he wants the audience to jump around. In his immoral wisdom he said, “You just need to do it without throwing a rod man…” I was listening to a jazz station this Sunday morning and heard some old Bennie Goodman (my mother was [...]

Indiana State Fair Collapse

August 17, 2011

The Band Cheap trick dodged a bullet and now the Country Band Sugarland decided to “wait a second” before going on stage. This is video is shocking to watch – especially knowing that four people died. I point this out to say “the show must go on” is not a true statement when it’s raining [...]

Does Your Band’s Wesite Have The Basics?

August 11, 2011

One of the keys to being a great singer is having a unique voice. John Corabi was in a band called The Scream, and later was tapped to replace Vince Neil in  Motely Crue 1994 (I loved the Crue with John). He was also in a band called Union with Ex-Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick. I [...]

Blink 182 Remembers to Say Thank You

August 4, 2011

Before I leave every gig I play, I try to find every staff member, shake their hand, and say thank you. Even the one with the pink stripper dancer pole in the middle of the stage. Blink 182 has not had a new single in 8 years (forever in the music business). To promote their [...]

Step One – Have Some Chops

July 21, 2011

Lady Gaga appeared on the Howard Stern show, and before 9 O’clock in the morning sat down with a microphone and a piano and brought the house down. I’ve never really given her any kind of serious listen. I had just heard about her publicity stunts and meat dresses. I have a new found respect. [...]

Another Reason to Use CDBaby

July 7, 2011

 While everyone across the pond has known about Spotify (and online music service). However, it hasn’t been available in the US. Well, its on its way according to a page on the Spotify website. This means that more people will be listening to their music on their computers, phones, and if you’re wondering how to [...]

Google+ – Oh Freakin’ Boy

July 5, 2011

I am (sarcasm here, heavy duty sarcasm), overjoyed that another social network has started up. I haven’t even caught up on my twitter and facebook yet and Google releases Google+. I did find a good post if you want to jump into the Google+ pool. Check it out. Also, there will be (yet another) slight [...]

I Don’t understand IHEARTRADIO, but I like it.

June 26, 2011

I decided to play with the iheartradio app for my smart phone. I found some comedy stations I listen to, and I found a great station for those who grew up in the 80s loving “metal” (Scorpions, Judas Priest, Ozzy, Ratt, Triuph, etc). It’s called “Slippery When Wet.” The confusing part is this app is [...]

Matthew Ebel Remembers To Have Fun

June 11, 2011

Matthew Ebel really is using social media to back up his obvious musical chops. He has a membership site for those looking to get “a little closer” to Matthew, and its working. He also gives a lot of stuff away, and it comes back to him in the form of loyal fans. When I went [...]
