Audio blogging is the latest craze and all the cool kids are doing it Check out this audioblogging marketing hype over at journalspace. journalspace  -> How To Set Up Your Own Audio Blog -> "Audio blogging is the latest craze. All the cool kids are doing it, ..." 2:28:56 PM  comment []    trackback []     Another "we don't get the new online medium" moment I came across this advertisement for a new "online EP" from a band named "Moments in Grace".  The link for the advertisement links to a webpage containing some of  their new songs (mp3s) but the catch is you need to supply your email to get to the music file page.  What happens if I don't like their music?  How do I stop them from emailing me?  None of this is clear.  So I guessing they see my payment for music page access as my email address.  This means they get the potential right to send me spam and any other idea they want to come up using my email address.  I'll think I'll pass.  When will these bands start to get that they don't want barriers to their message (since there is plenty of messages out there begging for my attention).  Give the potential listener a no strings attached way to listen to your message before trying to sign them up or selling them something.  This also gives others the ability to also help spread the band's message.  You can't spread your message alone.  Having a website with your music is a great start but not an end all.  But locking up your music on the web after you spent all the creative energy getting your message this far make no sense.  What is really your intent, getting your music out to everyone that wants to see if they like it or creating a mailing list of questionable fans.  Sorry but my attention is worth more. 8:09:01 AM  comment []    trackback []     Straylightrun and "existentialism on prom night" If you go over to independent185's jounalspace blog: even.superheroes.feel.alone, you will hear a great song playing in the background from Straylightrun titled: Listen:  "existentialism on prom night" The above Straylightrun mp3 link is brought to you by absolutepunk.  I was looking at absolutepunk's website and man could they use a SAM feed. And since we're talking about punk, how come punk didn't sound like this when I was growing up.  Joey must be rolling in his grave. 6:50:38 AM  comment []    trackback []     Listen:  0402061542 Audio link from independent185's jounalspace blog: even.superheroes.feel.alone 6:22:36 AM  comment []    trackback []     journalspace has audioblogging links I just noticed that journalspace has an audioblogging feature on their homepage.  Coolio Max.  The feature which lists recently posted audioblog links, is located on the left side of their homepage. Their audioblogging engine appears to be powered by Audlink.  Interesting!!! 6:01:44 AM  comment []    trackback []
