The Tomorrow People are on the move after only a few hours on the site. That’s what funky beats and slick rhymes will get you. I recommend signing them today.

this site looks pretty dope. i don’t produce music professionally, but i do a lot of file sharing, esp. with signed and unsigned music. there are a million filesharing services out there, so it’d be cool to see if this one meets its own standards…

anyone have an invitation they wanna share?

“Only in the tech business are companies born with neither a clear reason for being nor a clue as to how they’ll produce profits. Then again, rejoice: The U.S. financial system may be imploding as you read this, but the Bay Area startup culture is alive and well.”

- - Adam Lashinsky, The true meaning of Twitter

No clear reason for existence? Perhaps. Clueless profit centers? Absolutely.

The eyeballs equals ad dollars logic doesn’t hold the weight it once did, but this is a good thing. Web entrepreneurs and their new entrants to the interwebs will have to rely on making money outside of advertising. Consumer and corporate spending on data mining, e-commerce, digital goods, and other non-advertising activities has a higher tangible impact on the real world. As these more tangible models replace ad models the intersection of the web and the real-world will become further intertwined and clear-cut. This dose of reality should make the web a better, more clutter-free, meaningful place. The advertising that does survive on the web will have to provide the same level of entertainment of super-bowl ads or be aligned with consumers’ goals, not competing for their attention.

Agreed. But I can understand the pain thats involved with creating ads on the internet that provide “the same level of entertainment of super-bowl ads.” When an ad airs on the superbowl, its the first time millions of people have seen that ad. Internet ads are the same everywhere. They’re ineffective because you see the same thing on every website you’re on. Here’s a thought: what if a brand’s internet ad changed depending on what site you’re visiting. Rather than trying to target the users that view the ad, target the website the ad is displayed on.

Let’s take Mastercard for example. They could run an ad on Facebook with the following taglines: “Kanye West album: $12. Facebook gift: $1. Getting tagged in a photo: priceless.” The first tagline could be directly taken from something in one’s profile (favorite music). The second tagline could be something generic about the service they’re using (facebook). And the third line taken from a common action that the user makes or enjoys (lots of tagged fb photos).

Ads during the superbowl already follow this model. Most of the ads you see have a football involved or people at a party drinking—which is exactly what people watching the ad are currently doing. This is why superbowl ads are so effective.

This might only make sense for Mastercard and Facebook, but either way its worth looking into. I’ll do a follow up post at some point.

The Next Big Sound is here.

What started as a project for a few kids that love unsigned music has grown over the past few months to become something much more.

We believe in the power of music to inspire. The site is built for unsigned artists, for music lovers, and for all of us that have a passion to empower people to do things better.

The Next Big Sound allows anyone to act as a record mogul, signing artists they love to their own record label. We want to give artists a clear path to success, help people find great unsigned music, and help fans and artists to connect in a meaningful and unique way.

Sign up for The Next Big Sound and start signing some great artists!

So I’ve had Nas’ new one on repeat for a little while now, and its cold as hell. The boy Nas comes hard on every single track, and barely has any features. It’s raw.

Two good opinions:

This is totally insane. This guy took all the video clips from the GTalk album and slapped them together in sync. So good. So good. (And so much work!)

About 2 years ago we started a project for all the hip hop heads and music junkies out there who love to see how artists share and re-use music. Basically, how artists sample other artists to make classic tracks. We never finished the project but a lot of people showed interest and we always wanted to see it completed. So, this summer, we’re going live. Check back soon for more updates.
