Indie Music Blogs : The ASCAP definition of "Public Performance".

Sun, 19 Jul 2009 22:49:57 +0000

It is nuts. I didn't even know about the girl scout story until I posted this article. I think both BMI and ASCAP have the intentions of being the watchdog that makes sure the artists get paid, but their methods seem to have the opposite effect in many cases that I have heard of..

Indie Music Blogs : Is eMusic bringing the artists down with the ship?

It's an interesting decision. Charging customers more isn't going to hit home for them. On the other hand, offering the musicians more, is going to bring in more quality music. I always wonder, when somebody says they are a fan of independent music, what level of independent do they recognize? It it is not an oxymoron, there is mainstream independent in my opinion. What do you like in regards to Indie?

BeatCrave : Indie 103.1 Goes Off the Air to Keep Integrity - Damn the Man!

Congratulations to 103.1. Now if only other popular stations would stand up with them, escape the pay-for-pay act that major labels are trying to impose, there could be a major Indie Revolution.

Indie Music Blogs : Set Goals: Your Rockstardom Wasn't Built In A Day!

I realized that when I play piano, I've often made the same error. I'd start learning a song, and quit half way through. Either because I loss interest, or became interested in something else. I suppose following through should apply to everything I do.

That's exactly what we aimed to imply. I'm not sure what the strategy of major labels is going to be. They seem a bit nervous about the industry in my own opinion. I'm not quite sure that indie artists have the upper hand either, but it will be interesting to monitor the actions that each take, and see where this goes.

Very true. Looking back, I think to myself, "Wow! Look at how much has been accomplished."

Indie Music Blogs : Learn to Sing - Brett Manning Vocal Techniques Put to the Test

Mon, 8 Jun 2009 13:58:03 +0000

I know what you mean. I have tried to sing so many times, and always thought I just wasn't born with a voice. I think Brett has a good program, but for myself, personally, I also feel like I would need to be in his living room to really be specific with the troubles I have.
