No as a matter of fact it means that we should spread it throughout the nation and thensome again. I am 18 and a guitarist now in Florida I tke pride in my grunge music. I listened to the songs of Teen Spirit and amoung that was even sad when I finnally found my favorite music lover dead because he had a heroine addicton man. It was Kurt Cobaine.... That was a hard time for his sweetheart Courtney to take and from what the stupid MEDIA tends to portray us (the grunge scene) is that were all suicidal or somethin g is wrong with us. I have never liked being famous for that reason and I think taht Kurt would agree. Famous isn't worth a sun beam. Greed and prejudice is what got us here in the first place people. Temple of The Dog at least tried to make up for the death of their lead singer by starting a new band in the name of teh lyrics. Hunger Strike oh my god, Hunger Strike! That's a good song people. Remember that music is for happiness don't abuse teh media like it exploits the bands. email me if you want to know.

]]> Comment on Spin The Black Circle: Vinyl Makes Huge Comeback in 2008 by Eric Hebert http://www.evolvor.com/2009/01/05/spin-the-black-circle-vinyl-makes-huge-comeback-in-2008/#comment-46049 Eric Hebert Tue, 06 Jan 2009 01:51:10 +0000 http://www.evolvor.com/?p=2377#comment-46049 I think it's funny that # 3 is Chinese Democracy; the audio geeks bought it, the real real hardcore fans of the album. The ones who HEARD the music first maybe for free somewhere online (or who bought the thing on CD first along with it, not giving a shit if they liked i or not). Vinyl is another revenue model, albeit a smaller one and one you have to invest in. It's the best kind of merch 'cause it IS the album, in it's most physical manifestation.

You've got to engage the people, and the more you enjoy it, the better you'll be at it. Not only can you use Twitter to strengthen your fan base, but a lot of great opportunities--press, radio, etc.--can come your way too. Let's face it, there's no shortage of great music out there. To get folks interested, you need to reach out to them on a much more personal level. Makes the whole process more enjoyable anyway. BTW, on Twitter I'm @chrisblake. :) Great post.

Music brands that fans connect with are delivered by characters and narratives, stories, that is the massive ground that MTV broke in the 80's by pushing video. Now amongst easy video we have all these other tools to help deliver character, narrative, brands, emblems with new social media that can make those ideas more accessible to fans. I think a big factor in Twitter's success is in regaining a lot of the Myspace/Facebook time suck to some extent. And I think the job of people like us could increasingly be about helping the client to maintain authentic relationships with increasing amounts of fans as best possible with new technology.
