New music.

For those of you who know me, but don't know my band, The Weakest Suit, please check it out. I've got an album worth of songs up here on MFT now, and I'm very happy to be here. When Jeb started this site, I was able to help donate a lot of other people's music that I had collected and loved for years to help fill out the archive. I was also an avid bootlegger for a few years and a lot of the live shows I have recorded are in the archive. But I always wanted some of mine along side most of my fav… Continue

A Summer of Songwriting: Prologue

I participated in the "50 songs in 90 days" challenge and wrote and recorded 50 new songs this summer from July 4 to October 1. I was looking to spend less money this summer, and there's nothing cheaper to do than sit at home and write songs, so that's basically what I did. There were other (more important) events that also happened this time, like getting engaged and planning an October wedding. So, I made due with the time I had and got 50 new songs out of it. Most of the songs are live acoust… Continue

Yeah, of course there are other tastemakers - I vaguely mention that we all have our own filtering mechanisms and that will continue. Social networking and blogs will become more and more important - as will ways of communicating that we can't conce…

Hey John, since you are the only person I know who would know: Are the models that drive satellite radio producing any revenue for the artist? You don't mention satellite services but to me, not having one, it seems to be a logical evolution to bet…

I predict that labels may not go away, but they will become less important--as will traditional broadcast radio. Ten years from now we will all have internet-based radio in our cars. And the taste-maker-gate-keepers may not all be labels. They might…

I think it's significant that iTunes acquired LaLa, a streaming site (which I use to preview or rather pre-listen to new releases). With the likely release of Spotify in the U.S., and the fact that Rhapsody already has a subcription streaming servic…

John- do you think there will be one master archive of all music in various formats (Wav, MP3, etc)? I think you are right on with your predictions but I wonder about the logistics. Will it be like the current distro model where you can get these r…

Thanks, man. I'm not second-guessing whether SubPop was ever actually part of the major system - it seems like they did some sort of P&D deal around the time Mammoth and Matador did, but I don't recall for sure. Anyway they are an indie currently an…
