How to Call Attention to Your Music, by Derek Sivers
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008Derek Sivers recently posted a free e-book on his site, sivers.org. Until I’m knowledgeable enough in the areas of music marketing, promotion, etc….I’ll be referring you to the experts. 
So do yourself a favor and check this e-book out!
MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU
Monday, May 19th, 2008OK…so this video doesn’t seem to have much in common with the usual music idea - but it’s got a quirky soundtrack that fits the ambitious, crazy, can’t-stop-watching animation that’s going on. Fantastic and crazy all at once.

20 Chinese Things

Andrew Dubber of New Music Strategies had his “The 20 Things You Must Know About Music Online” translated to Chinese, which is cool enough…but he also says there will soon be a “sequel” to that e-book…and another 100-item e-book.
How do I even start?

I’d suggest reading this, if you’re interested in setting yourself up on MySpace…or if you’re already there and need to tweak things.
Other blogs you should know about

Every now and then, there are going to be times when I’ll link to a post I think you should read. There are many sources out here on the internet, and many people who are a lot better than I am in providing indie music advice…hey, I’m just an indie artist finding his way in the music world and having a great time doing it!
I’ve got a bunch of blogs in my blogroll…a couple blogs you should be checking out on a regular basis are Derek Sivers - he’s the founder of CD Baby, in case you didn’t know - and New Music Strategies, which is a blog I found out about through CD Baby. It’s headed up by Andrew Dubber, and he’s got all kinds of great ideas there, too. He’s even got a free e-book, “The 20 Things You Must Know About Music Online”. I found out about that through Derek Sivers and CD Baby, too…and reading that e-book is how I finally got around to blogging myself. See how this all works out?
How do I find time for the internet?

In this high-tech, crazy-paced online world, it’s hard to have some time for yourself. This blog link might help out a bit.
I’ll give you a call…oh, wait - I’ll text you instead

Isn’t it strange how we communicate these days? I was just thinking about this…it wasn’t too long ago that we had to find a pay phone, pull the car over, and find .20 or .25 cents to make a call. There may have been a few “mobile” phones, but they were hundreds of dollars and the size of a world almanac. Then, cell phones worked their way in. I can’t believe how many people are using these things. Sure, I have one for emergency use, but the next time you’re stopped at a light, take a look at how many people are talking on their cell as they’re driving by. It’s crazy.
From cells came texting, blackberries, iPhones…online communication - blogs (hey, you’re reading one, what do you know?! ), social networking sites, Twitter…we seem to be communicating more than ever. Why does the world still seem so disconnected? Is anyone listening on the other end?
