Comment on Music Mag Revenues Fall 28% by corygreenwell

This isn’t exactly a surprise. Music Bloggers are generally more savvy and produce content as it is available. Additionally, bloggers are now getting the same press releases that these sorts of magazines held dear to their hearts for so many years, they’re getting tons of free albums in the mail to review, most don’t mind reviewing leaked albums under the auspice of advanced copies (even where advanced copies aren’t out yet) and so the information is available faster. Even Pitchfork reviews seem dated by the time they come out. In this Internet age, consumers have no patience to wait for a magazine that is going to have smaller blurbs, fewer pictures and costs money (that the artists don’t see). Not to mention passive reading is giong by the wayside…if we like an article or it is a band we’re interested in, we want to click the hyperlink to their myspace page, watch a linked youtube video, read hyperlinked concert review, or read their wikipedia entry for a little more background on the band. Steve Jobs said people don’t read anymore, and while he missed the mark with that statement, a little editing of it to provide “people don’t PASSIVELY read anymore” might have been a bit more appropriate.

As a blogger and an IP guy…I welcome the evolution…

Could be either case, I suppose. I’ll update whenever there’s additional news or an update. It’s also only a matter of time…

Comment on iTunes Now #1 Music Seller? by corygreenwell

From what I’ve seen is that the email was from January & in February they said they were #2. The presumption then is that they were number one only briefly as the result of a spike from iTunes gift cards given at Christmas. Seems a premature call, if true, which is why Apple hasn’t claimed themselves to be #1.

Comment on Flash Drive Albums by corygreenwell

Other artists have done this also. Trent Reznor leaked Survivalism from Year Zero using a flash drive in a men’s restroom in Spain. Also, Not Here to Please You by Internet sensation’s Hadouken!, Icky Thump by White Stripes and Good Life by Kanye West were all released on flash drives. Kylie Minogue released her new album “X” in November or December using a flash drive. The Mars Volta release, although announced some time ago, is just one more in a series. There’s will be pretty cool though by the continuing release every month on the 29th.

The Derby City Roller Girls will be raising money as well both during their bout tomorrow night, where Kim Sorise will be spinning and Brigid Kaelin will be playing during intermission and at their after party at The Monkey Wrench.
