I love Tom Silverman
While this might come across as something, I’d carve into an oak tree during the last week of summer camp, it’s really more of a professional statement. In a recent Digital Music News post, I read the following: “80 percent of all records released are just noise — hobbyists,” Silverman told Wired. “Some companies like Tunecore are betting on the Long Tail...
Happy 70th Ringo (Wow…)
Happy Birthday Mel Brooks
The Summer’s Top Five Music Festivals
I’m a fan of lists. For no good reason I love hearing the best, worst, most likely to, or things you’d bring onto a desert island. It’s less about what’s on the list than it is about the process of deciding what makes it and what doesn’t.

Happy Birthday Sir Paul McCartney

Here’s what I came up with … and why YouTube chooses that as the main image is beyond me ….
Direct-to-Fan: Dear Sir or Madam…
In my role at Nimbit, I spent a lot of time talking about the benefits and features of our brand-new, super snazzy fan messaging system. And I even used it to send Nimbit newsletters and press releases out. This should, logically, make me some kind of expert. Seems logical, right? Especially if I’m to believe the comments people have been leaving on these posts… The guys in Hollow...
