I got this off the SoundCloud Group, Swedish Hip-Hop, which is, by the way, extremely excellent.

The logo is specifically from Uhuuu

Everyone wants more Twitter followers, especially musicians.

I’m a Digital Strategist with musician clients so I know this first hand: gotta move that music, turn out grooves, get more Fans.

And not-for-nothing, the business connections on Twitter are serious: Producers, A+R, Distributors, etc. – everyone wants to connect: there’s tons of opportunity, but hard to find in all the noise.

So I created a SoundCloud group called Hip-Hop on Twitter: a place for RAPPERS, PRODUCERS and FANS to congregate and:

~ SHARE original music
~ DISCOVER new talent
~ GAIN relevant FOLLOWERS on Twitter

So if you dig hip-hop and want to meet like-minded Twitterers, come join!

Lettin’ Nasir bring in the afternoon, ’cause sleep is the cousin of death.

SOUNDCLOUD is my number one favorite music app. It’s the one I recommend most to musician-clients and friends, because how easy it is to receive, send and distribute – plus the player is gorgeous!

#MusicHackDay at Microsoft NERD

Music Hack Day was by far the coolest event I’ve gone to so far at Microsoft NERD in Cambridge. Not just software hacking of existing music platforms, but mechanical hacking, too, with tables set up for workshops in creating DIY transistors, Atari Punk Console and depending on your skill level, what ever you wanted.

And they had some serious panelists discussing the future of music and distribution, including the guys who started Last.fm, Rock Band, SoundCloud and more:

The weekend ended with the software hack presentations, my favorite being Cara Peckens‘ re-architecture of MySpace (I don’t know her, but after this I think we’re soul mates). The truth is, MySpace is still hugely relevant since almost every single band on the planet lives there, but it’s also a case study in un-usability and confusion.

Cara’s 2 minute deck offers a solution that’s simply practical and, I confirmed, implementable!
