One of the systems I helped build at Loudeye is a set of tools for creating Internet radio stations and managing streaming media content. Loudeye uses this tool to provide streaming media radio services to websites that want to use music as a promotional tool.

One of our clients is Sprite. We power their online radio player [Sprite Radio]. Anyway, through this relationship, we were able to get some backstage passes to the Sprite Liquid Mix Tour, so I went with one of my colleagues.

It was pretty fun, however, I was about ten years older than pretty much anyone else there. I wasn't familiar with any of the bands so I was listening to Sprite Radio constantly for a couple of days before the show so that I would be familiar with the groups. There were some good bands there. In particular I liked The Roots. It was kind of interesting to go back stage, but it was nothing like what gets portrayed in movies like Almost Famous. 10:45:43 AM    comment []
