Truthfully, I'm pretty glad to be out of the promo game these days.

I've Been Deleted
Just thought I would check in here...when Vic (Muruch) got slammed in that draconian take-down just over a year ago, it was because she had posted some mp3s (which had been cleared) from our site. The problem was that this was a MAJOR label project (…

Alan Ellis (Oink) acquitted
That's the part that always really pissed me off about OiNK...assholes enriching themselves off the backs of musicians and songwriters. Same goes for Benny at ReaganYouth (pulls in advertising money and donations for full album pirated downloads…

I imagine it would be kind of a hybrid of a la carte cable tv or even netflix/la-la. The more you pay for in a "plan" allows greater access to the archive, but in the end, I imagine it will be a "plan" similar to a mobile phone bi…

Anyone use Squarespace?
I'm working with SquareSpace for a client right now, but I have some questions and their support blows. Anyone on this forum have any experience with SquareSpace? I might be able to hire someone or at least barter with anyone who can answer a fe…

spotify
I heard a really interesting segment in a podcast for On The Media (NPR) regarding Spotify. Short explanation: Licensing in Europe is WAY easier than here in the States. It's only a matter of time though.

I want to respect your wishes David, but I'm hoping you will drop me a line.

I think it has to do with incoming links to your site.

Dance and hiphop PR companies
People send me notes all the time asking for publicist info on a particular artists. I can USUALLY find out, but not always.

the new sparklehorse/dangermouse thing is out via .rar. I know, it's so wrong, ha-ha, but if EMI isn't going to put this thing out there, here it is: http://rapidshare.com/files/230207661/Dark.Night.of.the.Soul.2009.rar

Rip Paste?
No Depression was set to go online, but got kind of hosed by their digital dudes, from my understanding. Too bad, they had a great vibe. Lots of stuff that slipped through the hipstercentric online world would get love in that mag...it kind of spanne…

Shameless Blog Promotion
indiemusicfinds...if you are worried about hosting issues, many promo companies and labels have hosted links for mp3s. All you need to do is repost in many cases. Labels and promo companies love this of course (as it shows up in google analytics and …

WEDDING SONG
Stay away from anything that appeared in the soundtrack for Spanking The Monkey (heh-heh...I know, I never get enough mileage out of references to this gem). Seriously though, are you locked into any particular genre? Do you want to do a slow dance …

Kill yourself if you listen to classic rock
my theory: you can carbon date someone's age by looking at their record collection (in most cases). I haven't checked out the link yet, but I remember feeling the Generation X song "your generation" resonate deeply with me. Most …

Awesome. Mark did mention a few of you guys had recommended. I actually saw him down in Indianapolis a number of years back for the Midwest Music Conference. I think Joe Long and Eric Harvey told me about him, maybe Craig Bonnell. He was the best thi…

This is why I cut down to half time (or less) at Toolshed. It's important to me that if I am doing online publicity/promotion, I'm working on projects I like. We've scaled back, big time, but have some great artist projects coming up: …

Hello? Why should this be a surprise to anyone? I'm surprised any company bigger than Toolshed (which had only 2 people full time, now down to 1) could withstand this past year.

Pitchfork's Crocodiles Review
I understand this Scott. What I'm saying is that I've had to talk some people down from conspiracy thoughts. Understandably, passions run high when people have a vested interest in a project (for both artists and labels). We've had peo…

Pitchfork's Crocodiles Review
Scott, I generally am pretty supportive of Pitchfork on this board, but I have to say, as a person who has worked with Pitchfork for years, I can understand why this "conspiracy" talk springs up. So much decision-making (for instance, som…
