Great infographic regarding musician's revenue...
Great infographic regarding musician's revenue from music sales & streams (tidal, spotify). My take-away: streaming is here to stay & may be a great intro to potential new fans, but any artist not already platinum status needs to cut out the middle men (iTunes, Amazon), customize (limited editions, tangible items)...

It's About The Music, Stupid.
After 10 years of an internet-centric age, T-Bone Burnett famously said this year that musicians should steer clear of the internet. Heh heh. Let the backlash begin. Some folks went berserk but I think his main point was to remind musicians of why any of this "newfangled" technology matters; the music. I'm a big fan of the new tools, but if you have nothing to say and can't write a song, it's all for nada. Continue reading

A couple of things:
I forgot to mention how important all ages shows are for bands and fans. Here's an excellent NPR piece on the subject: http://n.pr/8YkJYx
Also, I stumbled across this site http://earnityourself.com/ re: DIY touring shortly after finishing this blog. I don't know anything about it but it looks like it's worth checking out.

The Silver Lining in a Bad Tour Summer
It's not surprising at all, 16 years after Pearl Jam testified in front of Congress about the insidiousness of the Ticketmaster monopoly (to no avail), proceeded by this year's merger between Ticketmaster and Live Nation, that we're staring down the barrel of the worst touring summer in recent m...
The Silver Lining in a Bad Tour Summer
It's not surprising at all, 16 years after Pearl Jam testified in front of Congress about the insidiousness of the Ticketmaster monopoly, proceeded by last year's merger between Ticketmaster and Livenation, that we're staring down the barrel of the worst touring summer in recent memory.

Using a Compressor or Limiter in the Final Mix Down
I am asked almost everyday if it's OK to limit or compress the final stereo mix BEFORE mastering. While there is no clear answer to this without actually listening... the screen shots below are excellent examples of the process and what's at stake. Thankfully, in this particular instance, the c...

Right on Aaron. Yeah, it's weird, early on we were always encouraged to "play ball" with some of these cats for fear of what they might do... I drew a line in the sand a very long time ago and have been nothing but happy (and busy) since. Now it's just weird when I come across somebody who actually expects me to humor their delusion.

Catching Up and "Your Reputation and You"
Hola. I've finally made the switch from doing e-zines, which were incredibly labor and time intensive, to blogging (as if I wasn't already enough of a dork). It's mostly just a formality. I will continue to interview cool people from time to time and you can find all of the old e-zine articl...
