- Legal DJs - Is YOUR DJ legal? MyFreeCopyright.com: FREE Copyright Protection 3 Microsites for Aggregating Your Band's Social Media & Extending Your Web Presence The core of a musician's web presence should be your own website that functions as a homebase of operations for news, content development and ecommerce that fuels your social media activities around the web.

Various forms of "digital business cards," "social media splash pages" and other microsites have come and gone over the last decade. Such sites that freely allow you to post links and sometimes content from other sites are a great tool to extend your web presence for purposes of discovery and, ideally, to support SEO activities, especially for your core website.

The Echo Nest BPM Explorer This is an application that helps you find out whether a human or a machine is setting the tempo for your favorite music. To do this, this application generates a click plot that shows the deviations in tempo from the average over the course of a song. Songs that don't stray too far from the average are likely to be using a click track or a drum machine to set the beat.

This application was inspired by the blog post In search of the click track that explored the steadiness of tempo for various contemporary artists. How do you use this application?
