I just found this band, super cool, he’s a modern day young Robert Smith!
For Comparison: The Cure - Boys Don’t Cry
Black Kids - I’m not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend to Dance With You
I was surfing the net late last night and stumbled up David Sides. He’s definitely unique in how his solo piano recitals capture to essence of hip, take a look and listen below. Very cool.
T Pain - Buy you a Drink
Watching the videos of David causes me to reminisce of the days back in high school when I was in the marching and jazz bands playing the alto sax. I haven’t touched the sax (more…)
**UPDATE 10/11/07**
It looks as tho Oasis, Jamiorquai and Madonna have followed suit! WOW Its no longer a matter of when but how fast the music industry will fall… we’ll listen and see!
Original Post
Music, musicians and their songs are a controversial commodity these days. The RIAA just recently fined some woman for sharing music online, the first of this sort. And now Radiohead and NIN have left their respective labels to pursue music promotion and sales themselves. Could this be yet another evolution to Music 2.0?
Music 2.0, how its delivered: Myspace, Podcasts, iTunes
Indie artists have been flooding the online cloud.
More than ever the amateur and yet-to-be-discovered artists are grasping the tools of the internet to share their talents (or lack there of) to the online community. Weekly, I get seemingly random friend requests on Myspace from up and coming bands. I click on through and some of them are actually good! It looks like they may be onto something as some successful mainstream musicians are following suite and becoming independent again.
Heyyyy its MikeyBoy here!
Just 4 years ago podcasting through crude RSS feeds started hitting the online airwaves. Recording and posting these sound/music clips is very easy, anyone with their home computer can do it. 4 years later this phenomenon has grown into a full commercial commodity. The simplicity of creating and popularity of listening to these podcasts creates, with continuing momentum, the perfect vehicle for everyone from the garage band artist to the multi platinum artists to get their creations to your ears!!
Full circle, mainstream again.
The most popular podcast harvester out there, iTunes, this software makes acquiring these podcasts and songs even easier. Apple has recently teamed up with the coffee-walmart of the work, Starbucks. Through this partnership, $.99 and theclick of a few virtual buttons on a touchscreen handheld device your ears are activated with sound waves from just about anyone.
Congratulations Mr. Trent Reznor, welcome to music 2.0.
Welcome back everybody! Memorial day weekend has come and gone, all too fast in my opinion.
Has anyone seen “The Graduate” ? Looks like an early Dustin Hoffman movie, maybe post “Midnight Cowboy?” If anyone has seen it post your review.
Lemonheads - Mrs. Robinson
A triptych of beef served throughout the years, best ingested by your eyes and ears.
1984: In the most literal sense Wendy’s blesses us with this commercial.
1992: The Hip Hop scene gains momentum with the song Ditty by Paperboy. It could very well be the first music video that compares womens breasts to cow utters. Interesting. Haha The video has bit to be desired but the song is a classic without question.
2006: The bovine makes it back to the commercial scene with yet another fast food franchise. Building off of Paperboy’s duet of Hip Hop and Cow, Carls Jr and Kelis hit the scene with their milkshake commercial. Ahhh.. evolution at its best!
