Anybody know if Google's long-time-coming new data structure standard - Schema.org - might play into this at all? Seems plausible when looking at stuff like this: http://schema.org/MusicRecording
Why Google Music's New 'Scan And Match' Is Not Enough
By Eliot Van Buskirk of Evolver.fm. When Apple launched iCloud, it included a feature that let you put your music in the cloud without manually uploading each song, which takes forever. That’s why we thought Apple, ironically given its download slant, might be your best bet for this ‘cloud mus...
HYPEBOT RULEZ!
Hello all, it's your boy Matthias Galica. Been a long time since I rapped at ya', and at the moment I suppose we can say that I'm the big mouth representing both ShareSquare (http://getsharesquare.com/) and BEASTMODE.FM (http://beastmode.fm/). Hooray!
Most importantly, I wanted to drop off my favorite holiday season mashup track for everyone's entertainment. Enjoy :P

I think Clyde deserves some credit for injecting the basic idea surrounding BEASTMODE.FM into my head around the time of original writing. He's a good man, and thorough.
A Guide To Music Blog Powered Apps
Guest post by Eliot Van Buskirk of Evolver.fm. Music blogs were once at the forefront of the promising field of allowing people to express their musical taste all over the world. They still are, actually. But for people who don’t have time to read hundreds or thousands or even one music blog e...

I've known Joey Flores personally for over 3 years now, and I'd like to go on record as saying that this man is salt of the earth. It was precisely because of his desire to make a positive difference in the music biz that he left what would have been a promising, lucrative, and frankly easier career in the performance/affiliate marketing space.
Also I'm happy to put a succinct end to this conversation, with science: it is physically impossible for anyone with dreadlocks longer than 3 feet to ever do anything that could hurt the music industry. Q.E.D.
The Downfall Of Pandora, Consumer Choice And Emerging Music
Guest post by Joey Flores (@earbits) of sidewinder.fm, a music and tech think tank. Flores is co-founder and CEO of Earbits, an online music streaming service. If you listen to Pandora, you may have started hearing commercials asking you to support the Internet Radio Fairness Act. It’s legisla...
If music tracks are a commodity comparable to corn, then I'd like to trade the rights to a couple of these songs I just made with my ukelele for the licenses to some David Bowie songs plz.
Or better yet, if we're talking about the US government and US corn farmers, then I'll actually go for one of those deals where I get paid to leave my fields fallow. Or where I can make high fructose corn syrup, or ethanol, and sell it in the US while benefiting from protectionist tariffs.

Importantly, scale also makes it easier to attain critical mass for precious network effects ("you might also like XYZ", "3 concerts in your hood tonight","you've unlocked secret content for being a tastemaker!"). Then, much easier to get there if you already have a consistent base of organic traffic. So it's what Myspace Music mobile could have become, and perhaps a reason Artists.MTV should be completely reconsidering the content/experience of the upcoming bandpages on mobile web? Hopefully they'll hook up with experts in the mobile web space like they partnered with Topspin, cough.
A Hidden Goldmine in Branded Artist Apps: Please Fans & Make Money
Guest post by Eliot Van Buskirk of Evolver.fm. You’re a big fan of Sleigh Bells (the band, not the wintertime equine accessory). Wouldn’t you want to listen to whatever Derek Miller and Alexis Krauss rocked on their iPods last week? We already have the technology to make that happen, in what c...

The monkey thing is a trip lol. Also pretty entertaining, at least the first time. Which then makes me wonder whether there's fresh monkey content every couple weeks.
