The delicate relationship I have with my keyboard The final panel to this comic has been removed, and so was my "defense" of it. Neither one was particularly clever. I make comics to make people laugh, not to upset them. From Miley Cyrus to Miles Davis in 18 Songs Drop a frog in hot water and he jumps out instantly. But submerge the little guy in cold H2O and heat the pot gradually, and you can cook him alive before he notices. This morbid myth usually functions as a metaphor about social change, but it was also the inspiration behind the aptly titled music app Boil the Frog. And you play the part of the frog in this particular scenario. The app operates on a simple conceit: Choose two musicians and Boil the Frog generates a playlist that links the two musical genres. "I like the idea of this musical journey," says Paul Lamere, the app's developer. "Instead of just creating a static playlist of songs that all sound the same, I like the idea of being able to have a progression. "Instead of just creating a static playlist of songs that all sound the same, I like the idea of being able to have a progression. The programmer built Boil the Frog on top of two APIs: Rdio, which provides the music, and The Echo Nest, which provides "everything else."
75+ Music Industry Tech Tools for Artists, Bands, Managers and Execs This post is a follow-up to a recent post titled 100 Ways to Discover and Enjoy Music (which savvy musicians will see as 100 more resources to exploit).

Grant Green: The 'Holy Barbarian' Of St. Louis Jazz Courtesy of the artist Grant Green, The Holy Barbarian, St. Louis, 1959 could be the name of a fine stage play, perhaps based on the actual circumstances of the recording. One musician on the way up, another past his moment in the limelight and one more who had his chance but never quite made it all convene on Christmas night, part of their week-long stand at the Holy Barbarian, a beatnik hangout replete with chess players and a local artist painting portraits. There isn't much of that. With Grant Green on guitar, I love how cooking drummer Chauncey Williams hints at a Chicago blues shuffle. Organist Sam Lazar's shot at fame came a few months later, when he recorded the first of a few sessions for the Argo label in Chicago, with Green on guitar, Chauncey Williams again on drums and blues titan Willie Dixon on bass. In "There Will Never Be Another You," Bob Graf plays tenor. Right around when this music was made, New York saxophonist Lou Donaldson came through St.
3 Reasons to Drive Fans to Your Band Website (and not to Social Media) « Sonicbids Blog This post comes from our friend Chris Vinson, Founder of Bandzoogle. Do I really need a website for my music? With Facebook, Twitter, and all the musician-specific social networks out there, you might think that your own .COM is obsolete. But there are 3 very important reasons to drive fans to your website instead: 1) You own the address First and foremost, you own your .COM address. This is not the case with your social networking profile. This isn't limited to Myspace. 2) You Own the Experience With your website you also own the experience. No Sudden Changes Your website changes only when you want it to change. No DistractionsUnlike with social networking sites, on your website there are no ads to distract your fans (wanna meet sexy singles in your area ?) No Design Limits With your own website, you don't have any design limits or restrictions. A Better Buying Experience If you sell music or merch, your own website is even more critical. 3) You Own your Data Stuff like:
Design Daily: The World's Simplest Mobile Phone | Technology on GOOD Writing for PSFK, Floyd Haynes recounts his reversal from iPhone fanboy to smart-phone abdicator. The combination of muffled conversations, dropped calls, and a creeping feeling that constant connectedness was complicating his life prompted a quest for simplification. That's precisely what he found in John's Phone, the world's simplest mobile phone. It's made by the Dutch design company John Doe Amsterdam. Here's a video of Haynes's first look at the phone. Wonderful. Gil Scott-Heron obit: listen to his sad, sharp vision of race and consumerism Gil Scott-Heron, who died this past Friday at age 62, was an old soul even when he was a young man. That's the impression his music gave, in any case. On his debut album, Small Talk at 125th and Lenox, released in 1970 when Scott-Heron was just 21, he spoke with the voice of authority—a bright, hard, lacerating voice, full of irony, and clear-eyed about hypocrisy wherever he saw it, whether in the ranks of his fellow black nationalists or in the Nixon White House. The album opened with his most famous recording, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," a string of one-liners, recited over percolating percussion, that promised a day of racial reckoning while sending-up the inanity of TV advertising and consumer culture. A rat done bit my sister NellWith Whitey on the moonHer face and arms began to swellAnd Whitey's on the moonI can't pay no doctor's billBut Whitey's on the moonTen years now I'll be paying stillWhile Whitey's on the moon Ain't you been there?
Yes, Twitter Is an Apple iTunes Affiliate Twitter has been adding special iTunes preview panes to every tweet on Twitter.com for nearly two years. However, when the company first announced that it would be working with Apple’s now-defunct social network iTunes Ping, it didn’t mention that it had joined iTunes’ affiliate program, and has been adding its own iTunes affiliate ID to each of those links. As such, Twitter has been receiving a bounty (most likely the usual five percent) on all iTunes music sold via Twitter.com’s iTunes preview panes. Even now that iTunes Ping is no more, Twitter continues to insert iTunes affiliate links into tweets about not only music, but also apps. Twitter CEO Dick Costolo said he is thinking about adding time-sensitive products such as concert tickets to Twitter’s affiliate marketing program. Twitter is not currently running affiliate links for television shows, movies, or books.

Comment faire connaitre sa musique: les expériences d’Uniform Motion Comment se faire connaitre quand on est un « petit » groupe inconnu ? Les expériences de Trent Reznor ou de Radiohead qui collaborent avec leurs fans sont très instructives, mais ces groupes avaient déjà une base de fans conséquente. Comment faire connaitre sa musique quand on débute un nouveau projet musical et que, par définition, on n’a pas ou peu de fans ? J’avais déjà parlé de Uniform Motion groupe toulousain de « folk illustrée » très innovant ( ici et ici, la et la). Depuis 4 ans il ainsi a testé beaucoup d’outils en ligne (Tumblr, Bandcamp, Mailchimp, Facebook, Twitter, Spotify, Deezer, Grooveshark, …) mais aussi de nombreuses manières de collaborer avec ses fans, du financement participatif aux Hangout parties (des webconcerts diffusés en direct), en passant par les remix kits et clips participatifs… Coup de chance, Andy avait préparé une présentation résumant ses diverses expériences pour la rencontre Sudweb et me l’a transmise.
5 ans d'état des lieux de l’offre de musique numérique Publié le lundi 24 septembre 2012 Version imprimable Musique enregistrée Depuis 2007, l’Observatoire de la musique propose, chaque semestre, un état des lieux de l’offre de musique numérique. À partir de 46 indicateurs (type d’offre de services, de contenus, de répertoires, de régimes juridiques, d’accès, de fonctionnalités et de qualité de l’offre…), ce panorama bisannuel permet d’y voir plus clair et de suivre les évolutions d’un marché foisonnant, mais dont la durée de vie des acteurs est assez faible. Un marché en constante augmentation… Entre 2007 et 2011, le marché musical numérique a été, en France, en constante augmentation, passant de 51 millions d’euros (en valeur gros HT) en 2007 à 110,6 millions en 2011 (source Snep). …et en forte concentration Autre point essentiel mis en valeur par cette étude, la concentration de l’offre autour de deux acteurs. Les 27 sites présents sur l’ensemble de la période 2007-2011 : 7 boutiques généralistes : 3 boutiques spécialisées : 5 portails :
Neil Young présente Pono, son baladeur pour audiophiles Neil Young a levé le voile sur Pono, son projet de service de musique en haute qualité. Il sera constitué d'un magasin en ligne, d'outils de conversion, et d'une série de baladeurs optimisés. En hawaïen, « pono » signifie « juste ». Image CBS À l'occasion de la dernière conférence D: Dive Into Media, Neil Young avait présenté l'idée derrière Pono, conçu comme un produit de niche certes, mais un produit de niche qui pourrait tirer toute l'industrie vers le haut. Neil Young veut réinstaurer la progression logique qui favorisait l'acte d'achat, la conversion d'un auditeur en acheteur : Pono distribuera des fichiers de la plus haute qualité possible, celle des masters (192 kHz / 24-bits). Les puces mobiles sont aujourd'hui assez puissantes pour lire des fichiers d'une telle qualité, mais elles restent énergivores. Le but de Neil Young n'est néanmoins pas de révolutionner l'industrie, mais de la tirer vers le haut.
