Musician – Stay away from Twitter, Facebook and social media in general
After thinking about it, I retract my previous post: Stay the fuck away from all things social. Including twitter, facebook and everything else. STOP CRAPPING ALL OVER MY INTERNET. That goes for all search engine specialists as well – full of shit assholes, crapping all over useful audio results with spammy link schemes and click [...]

Why Musicians Need To Be On Twitter
It’s distributed service. Take it anywhere – more or less. Easy to connect to other artists. Networking will never die. It’s shiny and 2.0. Hell yeah. and one more very important thing. Twitter is lifestreaming, microblogging and a whole lotte fancy stuff made simple. My version: an open textmessage. Wikipedia can give you a twitter low-down. Facebook is fine. But [...]

A bit more on Imeem – and music streaming
Related to the previous rant, Techcrunch sums up label conservatism. addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Flostaudio.com%2Fa-bit-more-on-imeem-and-music-streaming%2F'; addthis_title = 'A+bit+more+on+Imeem+%26%238211%3B+and+music+streaming'; addthis_pub = '';

Business models – accept the markets terms
Hypebot has an interesting piece on Imeem. Of course Imeem is in trouble. Just like all the other Music 2.0 and oldschool Web 1.0 conservative labels. The labels are strangling whatever pennies they can in order to pay premium bonuses to the boards before the nepotists finally jump. You can only do so much assf*****. All thoose [...]

Splice Music lives on
SpliceMusic has been bought by RemixGalaxy.com – who are now promising sweet updates and great remix contests… in a matter of no time. Great news for many of the people hanging around at Splice – although it can’t be that many. It’s been dead in dev and staff regards for a year plus. Lost Audio can’t help [...]

Call for VSTi – make a grand piano instrument
You could go download some piano chords over at iBeat.org… and you could simply use them in your creations. Since the piano shots and samples are licensed under CC, I’d figure it would fit the music 2.0 mashup – and all that there modern vibe – if some young gun made a swanky VSTi instrument – [...]

Soundsnap now paid membership
Sign up for SoundSnap, it’s free. Download five sounds a month. I thought it looked wrong last time I visited the site. Right for some. Annual license is $149 which will allow unlimited downloads. Anyway, just another ‘we are free until we have enough users’ – site. Hope it pans out for them. I have to pan [...]

Whatever happend to ccMixters and Creative Commons RFP
I could go ask over on ccmixter – I probably will. But seemingly there has been no interest. Everybody that reads about Creative Commons know they’d love to spin off a good story about a project like this. Fancy that… It’s obvious that there would be some branding value in the ccmixter site – it’s visited by [...]

Noteworthy Music Innovation: CalendarGirl
Although proces and content, over form and end product, does it for me. There are wonderful creative examples and progression within the latter scope; my dad always told me it was the musician and not the instrument (although my taste for vintage Strats and Les Pauls might have played in). Especially in these digital days mashups [...]

Band Leaks Track to BitTorrent, Blames Pirates
via Torrentfreak: “When we reported about the leak of a BuckCherry track last week, and specifically the band’s response to it, we hinted that this could be a covert form of self-promotion. Indeed, after a few days of research we found out that the track wasn’t leaked by pirates, but by Josh Klemme, the manager [...]
