From the Basement : Home
Welcome friends and music lovers. Here lies the website of From the Basement - A sort of music show / labour of love produced by a small group of dedicated individuals. We shoot it all on HD video and the sound is produced by me. The whole emphasis of the show is about being artist friendly and making our bands as comfortable as possible so that they can give great performances without the usual agony of TV promo which everyone has to do but no one seems to enjoy. TV world is a pretty hostile environment for your average musician to have to walk into and bare his soul on cue.. It also doesn't hurt that a lot of the people we've filmed are friends or people we've worked with before so they trust us and know that we understand what recording music is about as well as making good TV.

Stereomood hypetree We firmly believe in independent music. When we first announced our service, we had 6,000 people sign up in the first week alone. StumbleUpon even did a case study about it. Around 1,000 of them were musicians, and the remaining 5,000 were music fans. Why all the interest?

The New Economics of the Music Industry In the old days, it was much easier for pop stars to keep up with how much they were getting paid. Somebody would buy a CD at a Tower Records for $15 and a few dollars would appear months later on the star's royalty sheet. Then iTunes took over the record business, and it was even easier (if not more profitable) – every time somebody bought a 99-cent track, a few pennies went into the artist's bank account. Those were such simple times. Today, music fans play free music videos on YouTube, stream songs for free on Spotify, MOG or Rdio, customize Internet radio stations on Pandora or Slacker and consume music a zillion different ways. The fractions of pennies artists make for each of these services are nearly impossible to track – at least for now.

Trent Reznor Advises Young Bands Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor has posted a blog, listing a number of common sense points to help young musicians make a living in the modern music industry.

Here's a link to their store: illcommunication.beastieboys.com "Shortly thereafter, I got some responses from people stating the usual "yeah, if you're an established artist - what if you're just trying to get heard?" argument.

Back to Vinyl The Temptations – Puzzle People Any similarities between this and the previous album cover are completely accidental! I usually only buy stuff I’ve heard, but the cover of this was so good there was no way the contents wouldn’t be great. I was not disappointed.
