Just checking in to say hi
Hi. How’s it going? I’ve been getting some emails recently from worried New Music Strategies readers. Some of them asking after my health, and others prompting for a return to the blog so they can read more content. I...

Music is a business. But it's not only a business. It's part of who we are and how we express ourselves. It's not just about money. It's about people.

And... we're done. Just have to read it out loud once more to check for time (aiming for 30mins), then I can rehearse till it feels natural.

Used Douglas Adams's great line about music, publishing and broadcasting asking what impact the internet will have on their business: "it's a bit like a river asking what the impact's going to be when it hits the ocean. It's not going to be a river anymore."

Imagining a new MySpace
I posted on Music Think Tank earlier today, and I've been thinking about it all day: MySpace has failed independent artists. I'm giving them a year to sort it out - till Oct 24, 2010 - and then I'm encouraging all artists who'll listen to abandon ship...

Working on a keynote presentation today.

I'm going to be speaking at Muziek Digitaal in Brussels on Wednesday. My topic is the way in which "Digital" changes everything about what popular music does and how we experience it. In essence, my presentation will be about introducing the concept of just how radical the chang...e is. And it's far more radical than most people think.

Andrew Dubber Download Squad reports today that MySpace are taking music more seriously with analytics and video archives. I personally think MySpace don't really grasp the significance of what they have: EVERY FRICKIN' INDEPENDENT MUSICIAN ON THE PLANET. Is this really the best they can do?

being an independent musician i have been pretty disgusted with myspace for some time now. although i do like the new dashboard. . . the problem is all the friend whores on there. so (in my opinion) it makes the results pretty inaccurate.

in the very near future i plan on going through our 17,000+ friends & deleting virtually all the bands & other... Read More random businesses & organizations in an attempt to narrow it down to our actual fan base. then i'll see if the dashboard measures up the same as some of the other resources that are out there.

and i agree 210%- myspace has NO grasp on the significance of what they have.

I think it's a great idea to get rid of these non friends! However what do you both mean with no grasp about the significance of what myspace have? I found it pretty good learning that 73% of our listeners are 25 to 34 year old blokes from Denver city in the US state of Colorado :) Especially as we are a band from Brighton UK we should go and gig there. However, looking at the States map, Denver is right next to a Brighton ... strange

You haven't unsubbed. I haven't been writing. Changes are afoot - and I'll certainly talk about those more here - but I've also just been so damn busy travelling, teaching, researching and trying to write 4 books simultaneously.

Congrats on the MAINZ success. I did a guest lecture there back in February when I was in Auckland. It seems like they do some really great courses.
