Weekends, holidays, late nights… Pitches do funny things to people (mainly Cerns it seems).

Also makes you proud to work with such hard working talented peeps.

Oasis – Dig Out Your Soul In The Streets

One of my favourite philosophers on our times, believe it or not, is ill Doctrine: a hip-hop video blog hosted by Jay Smooth, creator of the hip hop music blog and founder of New York’s longest running hip-hop radio show, WBAI’s Underground Railroad.

He tells a wonderful story of how he used to buy his vinyl, how his anticipation and enjoyment was built around the event of going into the store, taking the train home pouring over the artwork and playing it in his room. And how it changed how:

the music industry no longer controls those moments in our lives when music becomes an event.

You can see Oasis having fun with this idea in this video.

I’ll leave the final piece of advice to Jay:

Figure it out: where the party is at nowdays, and set yourself up to be the one who’s over there hosting the party. And in the years to come if you don’t figure how to do that, you’re gonna find yourself in a big ol’ empty house with a bunch of album label heads looking around wondering where everybody else is at, and what are you gonna do with all these kegs of beer?

  • Radio personality/video blogger Jay Smooth, of illdoctrine.com, explains to us why Radiohead flipped the game when they released their last album to the internet for free.

Hungry? How hungry? Would you sacrifice 10 of your Facebook friends for a Whopper?
If this neat little campaign was running here in Australia I would have a smaller number of friends…
without hesitation. Most likely the work of those damn CP+B’ers.
