I Want YOU To Be The Star In My New Crowdsourced Video
Jan2612:21 PM
So I decided to make a little "testimonial" video. It's not going to be anything fancy, just a short little thing for people to get a vibe for what I'm doing.
And I want YOU to be the star of the video.
That's right… I'm crowdsourcing baby!
So… if I've possibly taught you some cool new things, or if I've helped you in some way, or simplified your daily routine, or inspired you or motivated you somehow, then send me a brief 10-30 second video message with your testimonial.
And it doesn't matter whether you're a present or past client, a fellow tweeter, a happy facebooker, a blog reader, a quote lover, a newsletter diehard or a podcast fan. It doesn't matter… I just want to see your smiling face and hear what you have to say!
So turn on your camera (or use your iPhone), say a few short words (no longer than 30 seconds) and then send the file using the form that's right here in this blog post.
On February 15 I'll edit the clips together and air the video we made together right here on this page.
This will be fun!
I can't wait to see what you come up with.

This Is The Type Of Art SOPA Would Kill
Jan1905:36 PM
To be clear… unauthorized sharing (copying) of content found online could not only have your website taken down without due process, but it could also land you in jail.
For example, if you were to post a version of you performing a Michael Jackson song on YouTube, you could not only have your account removed but you could also face up to five years in prison. That's one more year than the man who killed the man Michael Jackson himself. For singing a song without first acquiring a license to do so.
That Tumblr or Pinterest page of yours where you repost someone else's photo or cartoon or image?
SOPA would kill that.
That song you downloaded and posted on your blog to share with friends and readers?
SOPA would kill that.
But beyond trying to kill the culture of sharing (which is something humans have always done), it will also kill the creation of new art altogether. Any piece of music or art that uses a mashup or a collaboration of existing pieces, without proper consent from the original creators, would be illegal and punishable.
The Stop Online Piracy Act is a misguided solutions to a misunderstood problem. For more information on the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), click here.
To give you a taste of the types of beautiful music that would cease to exist if SOPA were passed… I present to you the following mashup videos created by Pogomix (illegally of course).
This Is The Type Of Art SOPA Would Kill:

Will Apple's Ping Get The Push?
Oct3112:37 PM
I think they need to make it web based and to focus on Twitter/Facebook integration and use it to supplement those networks, rather than compete with them.
Apple also needs to make iTunes a web-based player. With the new iTunes Match, they could very easily make it your new central, one-stop web-based music player, available anywhere and on any device, similar to what Rdio and Spotify are now offering music fans.
Apple needs a better music strategy than what has currently been presented. It just seems so scattered and unfocussed. I've been having a great discussion on this topic over on my Google+ profile, here's a couple of key comments:
"The problem with Ping is that it doesn't do anything new. It's a semi-social network that does nothing new or better (or even prettier)."
- Amy Plachta
"In addition, its a shame artists can't embed little music store widgets on their website, allowing their fans to purchase directly from iTunes without leaving their site. You're right, they need a new, web-based strategy badly."
- MaryLiz Bender
So what do YOU think... Will Apple's Ping Get The Push?

A Few More Thoughts On Google+
Jul1212:05 PM
This thing is a getting a ton of crazy buzz with many saying they're seeing far more engagement and link click-throughs than on Twitter or Facebook. But isn't that expected from a new service that is almost entirely populated with early adopters trying to stake their ground and make a presence?
Pundits are expecting Google+ will overtake Facebook, pointing towards a lack of spam and the ability to control your stream and privacy settings as one of the key indicators.
But in all honesty, almost everything I'm seeing on G+ is self-promotional. Won't it just be a matter of time before the content we see is identical to that which we've come to loathe on Facebook?
A couple of the most well known bloggers in the tech world are already stating they'll start using G+ as their new blogging platform. But is this really something that should replace a blog on your website? I'm thinking not. Even though it's a Google product, do we fully know and understand how our status updates will be indexed by Google Search yet?
Regardless, this is still a new and exciting platform us techies and web nerds need to jump on and experience to the fullest to truly understand its potential.

Concert Posters and the Rise of Legal Rights
Jun3012:06 PM
Thanks for the amazing insight Martin!
Concert posters have long been the standard when promoting gigs. It’s simple, efficient, and people generally love seeing these unique pieces of art. In today’s DIY market coupled with fading music sales, artists are beginning to rely heavily upon poster design as an additional merchandise revenue stream but few realize concert posters/design pack a hefty legal punch. In short: Who owns the concert poster? The band that’s performing? The designers who designed the poster? Perhaps the venue that booked the artist? If you don’t think these issues are important, think again. Concert posters are quickly becoming the hottest piece of merchandise, not only for growing indie acts but major artist as well. Indie bands with limited edition numbered prints have been able to sell good designs for $100, therefore banking more on posters than CD sales. Take an established group with a vintage concert poster back from the 60’s and it may sell for $10,000+. I can’t touch upon the global issues concerning concert posters due to the enormity of the content, nor will I address all the legal implications in detail, however I do suggest using the information below as a solid foundation, a brief flicker of insight into the multitude of issues that can quickly snowball out of control.
Use of concert posters have traditionally worked as follows: A music venue and/or promoter books a band and subsequently hires an artist to design a concert poster surrounding the performance. The band provides the venue/promoter with photography and logos who in return passes the information off to the poster designer. With new technology new methods are used. Now it may be common for a band to design a concert poster and later provide the poster to certain venues showcasing the venue logo/information. Others may hire poster designers who design, print, and distribute the poster. Regardless, every scenario identified consist of three major legal components, often ignored, which (especially in today’s music market) inevitable come back to bite someone in the ass. When these components are combined two questions emerge: who owns the poster and who owns the poster design? In order to touch upon these questions, let’s review the three legal components and how they’re used.

The Best Guitar Case EVER

This is the most insane guitar case I've ever seen. It's such an amazing piece of art. When you touch it and feel it, and examine its workmanship, it's stunning. Everything seems so organic and real with its layered textures.
This custom guitar case was built for Vancouver singer/songwriter Billy the Kid (Billy Pettinger) by The Funk Trunk Case Co. and was presented to her while on tour in Eastern Canada.

The Reality of Artist Development Deals at Major Labels
Nov0209:09 AM
In this clip from www.artistshousemusic.org - Owen Husney, a manager, talks about today's lack of artist development by the record companies and the importance of a fan base.
If bands want quality guidance from a label, they need to have already proved themselves independently.
And this is the reality of the music industry these days. Whether you're shopping for a label, a manager, an agent, a publicist, or a radio promoter...you have to eliminate as much risk as possible for your potential partners by proving to the industry that you have the work ethic, and the drive, to do this with our without anyone else's help. That's the kind of attitude that lands a band a team of pros and propels them to the next level...

A Musician’s Life On The Road: The Glory & The Grind
Nov0209:09 AM
If you're an artist with dreams of turning your music into a full time career, you need to read this article. Regardless of what stage your development and fan base is at, this is a must read.
It's one of the most accurate depictions and analyses of what it's like to be on the road, and what it takes to make it in today's music biz.
Take note of the comments the author makes about who Nettwerk Records and Terry McBride chooses to represent. From the article:
"When artists come to Nettwerk Management looking for a shot at the big time, he makes sure they understand what’s going to be required of them: a minimum of 200 and probably 250 appearances a year, which basically means the total abandonment of every non-musical aspect of their lives."
And a quote from Terry himself:
“I don’t take on a client unless there’s a few key things. One is if they really want this more than anything in their life . . . It’s about work, believing in yourself, about having a passion to make it and being authentic. That’s what it’s about. It’s not rocket science. You’ve gotta have the talent and you’ve gotta have the work ethic to back it up.”
Truth.

What Gets You Out Of The House To See Live Music?
Jul2703:03 PM
Let's face it, we all have busy lives. Everyone has to find a way to make room in their schedules for work, school, girlfriends & boyfriends, cats & dogs, the family, needlepoint lessons at the community centre, eating Doritos on the couch, and masturbating to porn.
It doesn't seem like there's much time for anything else does it?
And that folks, is why many of us don't get out to see live music as much as we really want to. Despite being invited to a hundred shows a week on Facebook, you just can't simply go to everything. Excuses are made, hearts are broken, friends are lost...and you get the eight hours sleep you deserve.
But, on the flip side of this is when you actually do get out. Those rare occasions when you actually drag your sorry ass out of your condo or basement suite and you go and see some live music, whether it be an international touring band or a local favourite that just crawled out of a basement in the burbs.
And do you know what almost always happens when you make that choice to get out? You love it. You have the time of your life, hear some great tunes, support your local scene, you meet new friends...and you throw up on old ones.
So, in those glorious moments leading up to you rocking out at a local concert, what's the main deciding factor that gets you out of the house to see live music?
1. You love the band.
2. Your love the venue.
3. Your friends are going.
4. You're hoping there will be some hotties there.
5. It's close to your home.

Music Can Learn From Fashion's "Free" Culture
Jul0510:15 AM
Copyright law's grip on film, music and software is suffocating...yet it barely touches the fashion industry...and fashion benefits because of it, in both innovation and sales, says Johanna Blakley. At TEDxUSC 2010, she talks about what all creative industries can learn from fashion's "free" culture.
Fashion encourages an open creative process and because there is no copyright, design has been elevated. So why hasn't copying destroyed the fashion industry? And without ownership (copyright), is there an incentive for creators to innovate?
Watch the video below to find out...this is a very intriguing concept which people need to consider. So...sow can this free culture be transposed over to the music and entertainment industries? Discuss!

Top 50 Albums Of The Decade
Dec3001:40 PM
Here it is, a music nerd’s list of my Top Albums Of The Decade, from 2000-2009.
I had originally planned to simply create a Top 10, but after I started pouring over all of the eligible contenders I realized that restricting my list to only ten albums was virtually impossible. I’ve enjoyed so many albums this past decade that choosing ten albums just didn’t seem fair.
One of the problems I encounter when making a favourite album list is my wide range of tastes. I love rock, punk, metal, alternative, indie, and jazz all the same; so it’s hard for me to place a Slayer album next to a Norah Jones album on the same list.
So to remedy this situation I’ve created two lists: a Top 25 for Hard Rock and a Top 25 for Alternative & Indie. Each list is below...

My Solution To Save The Music Industry
Nov1311:37 AM
The music industry's money, energy, passion and creativity would be better spent trying to improve upon the user experience of file sharing rather than fighting it through legislation.
Focus on what the music consumer really wants, and deliver it, blowing away any and all expectations.
The businesss needs to out-think the freebie alternatives, create something new that can't be replicated through file sharing, and then monetize that new technology through a paid monthly service.
No, I'm not talking about another iTunes clone. That's boring. And while I do love Spotify, it can become boring as well since there's no Recommendation Engine to encourage new music discoveries. And there's no graphics to to entertain the ADHD kids.
The answer lies within existing technologies which we can morph and create something with. Something new that...

Moral Decay: Dave Wenger RIP
Jul1508:39 PM
This is an update to yesterday's blog about some music I was looking for from an early 90's metal band from Victoria, BC by the name of Moral Decay, featuring Dave Wenger, who went on to form influential indie act Daddy's Hands. Dave was struck and killed by a car in Montreal in 2006. He was only 33.
So one day later after I launched my blog and search for a digital copy of Moral Decay, my mission is complete. I have acquired a digital copy of their demo cassette, To Build An End, from the early '90's.
And now...here it is being passed back to the metal and Dave Wenger community, for you to appreciate.

Moral Decay: A Lost Relic From My Youth
Jul1412:49 PM
Over the past few years I've often found myself trying to remember the name of an amazing metal band who I used to see live in Kelowna, BC. I often found myself thinking of them, but could never quite remember their name. I guess I can blame the excess of my wasted youth for that. Their name constantly found its way to the the tip of my tongue, almost coming into sight, but always seeming to slip away.
This mystery band had an impact on my teenage years. I could tell there was something special about them, their raw talent was palpable. Original, passionate metal filled with intricacy and emotion. Executed with precision, their music was unimaginably professional for the band's young age. If I can recall, their lead singer and guitar player, who was the obvious star of the group, was still in high school. Click To Read More...
What Music Will Define This Generation?
Jul1002:32 PM
The music industry lost an icon and a modern day legend on June 25, 2009. While Michael Jackson was seemingly inactive during the past decade and a half, his previous three decades of music, innovation, and record-breaking sales is impossible to ignore. His impact on popular culture is massive; from music, to the art of live performances, to music videos, to dance, to fashion, to philanthropy.
Regardless of your opinion on the man and his music, these are facts. It's impossible to imagine the '80s without him.
So, my question is this:

This is an incredibly witty and insightful presentation that I'm sure everyone will get a kick out of, and hopefully create some conversation on this blog in the process.
Christopher R. Weingarten has also launched a new Twitter profile @1000TimesYes, where he's doing 1000 micro-music reviews in one year. He's currently at #408, it's a cool concept.
