Industry Digest #5
Well, not sure where to start this after last nights tremendous loss of talent and the King of the Pop music era. he was a man who helped shape what pop music was, what being a superstar artist was. He also showed us what it was to be an artist who used their music as a platform promoting causes near and dear to their heart.
Other than the loss of a pop icon, there were quite a few articles...
The Ever Evolving Industry
Mike has had a pretty crazy week and is looking at an even crazier weekend, so I’m taking the helm and writing this week’s Industry Digest for him. I want to do something a little different this week.
The music industry is constantly changing and evolving. With advances in technology, people will always find more ways to get music, some ways illegally. According to the Music Think Tank: Everyone...
Twitter exchange from 10AM this morning
Me: Pretty sure Pres. Obama has landed in Chicago. 4 large, identical helicopters just flew past my classroom window.
James: Nah, that was me. I don't know if you know this but, I'm kind of a big deal.
Me: Damn dude where'd you get the deal on the heli's? And when do I get one? Is that a bonus for working @horizonsmgmt?
Joe: Do I get a helicopter? I want one too!
James: We should rename the company to helicopter management.
Are Downloads Really Killing the Music Industry?...

Britians Minister of Intellectual Property, David Lammy, says that evey download equates to millions of pounds lost...

Trent Reznor leaves the social network scene because of a few rotten apples and Derek Sivers shows us that in order to get help from the industry, you have to show your worth.
As I mentioned in my earlier posts a lot of...

Oh where have you been, my blue eyed son?
From Taylor Carson:
I haven’t written anything in a while in terms of blogging, so here I go. Music has been swallowing me lately and the new songs have completely consumed most of my thoughts. These songs are really important to me. These thoughts have definitely been inside of me before, but as I am getting a little more comfortable with the writer that I am, my thoughts towards...
Update to Kotaku Story on Last.FM/Microsoft Deal
As I mentioned in our first blog, Kotaku had an update article about the addition of Last.FM to Xbox Live for free for the Gold (Paying) users. They say it will function just like the web version of Last.FM, but in addition, you can “party up” with your friends and listen to tracks together, which I think is a new/interesting way to share music with your friends and introduce them to...
A little explanation and some of last weeks latest...
