A willingness to expose our hearts/souls to the world and take the ignorant judgement with the praise that may come along with it is what has driven art since the beginning of time, in some small way. It is even more important in this day and age. In a perfect world it would be considered no more than promotion of the arts. Unfortunately, it has been perverted from its basic creative roots. The Artists, themselves, have been too much of the focus. The preservation of the artists' integrity has, subsequently, fallen by the wayside.<br /><br />In today's culture of instant gratification and informational overload we often forget how easy it is to make impressions on people simply by the honesty in the art itself. The Record industry may be failing in many ways, but the music industry is flourishing undenyably. Access to music is at an all time high, and shows no sign of plateau. Do you think "Selling out" and being artistically prolific are mutually exclusive ideaologies in today's musical climate?theexcitableboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00445564395893445373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680745773101995661.post-40025924852821104112010-06-18T22:04:49.371-07:002010-06-18T22:04:49.371-07:00變天了~~注意身體,別感冒囉! .....................................變天了~~注意身體,別感冒囉! <a href="http://twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://www.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://204.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://401.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://80.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://ut.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://951.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://1007.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://168.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://173.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://176.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://18jack.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://2011.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://24h.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://34c.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://3d.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://3y3.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://520.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://520sex.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://5278.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://666.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://66k.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://69.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://777.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://adult.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://aio.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://bb.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://chat.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://dudusex.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://dvd.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://face.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://g8.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://g8mm.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://girl.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://gogo.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://hot.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://japan.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://jolin.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://jpgirl.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://king.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://kiss168.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://kk123.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://ko.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://live.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://livesex.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://honey.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://love.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://loveu.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://mm.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://money.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://nice.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://orz.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://panda.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://play.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://playboy.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://playgirl.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://room.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://sex.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://sex520.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://sexdiy.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://sexy.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://shopping.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://show.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://showlive.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a><a href="http://sogo.twnice.info" rel="nofollow">.</a>RoseH_Huls21365https://www.blogger.com/profile/16112722113779957898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680745773101995661.post-77395522363024456282010-04-16T10:26:50.631-07:002010-04-16T10:26:50.631-07:00Wow, what an original and refreshing post.

If you are an artist who has a MySpace Music page, you know how important your profile is to promote your music on MySpace. One of the key elements to promoting music on MySpace is how high your Myspace music page ranks on the charts of other MySpace artists. The more that your Myspace Plays increase, the higher you rank and the more attention you receive. This is one of the biggest secrets many successful musicians have been using on Myspace for the Past Weeks,Month and Years.<br /><br /> MySpace takes a song plays daily average hit count to determine the artist's chart positions. This is very much like the Billboard charts. Unfortunately, getting your song plays to increase dramatically can be Extremly Difficult, especially if you are having trouble adding friends. However, TheLabel360.com can increase MySpace music plays quickly and efficiently without much effort at all. In the past, many artists relied on getting signed by a record label to get serious promotion. Record labels would usually front the expenses that comes with music promotion.<br /><br /> Since this was the industry standard, bands were always trying to become signed to get radio play. If an artists had their music played on the radio, it was a surefire bet that they were going to sell records. But today, many things have changed for the record industry with the birth of digitally recorded music.<br /><br /> Artists can now record their own music with little to no expense, and even promote their own music. With this, millions of artists across the world are turning to the worlds largest social network, MySpace.<br /><br /><br /> Artists who have a MySpace profile know that it is a long road to success on MySpace. Trying to rank as high as some of the huge names in music is difficult. But with the birth of new technology and TheLabel360.com comes bigger and better ways to get your music noticed on MySpace. The key is to increase MySpace music plays which will rank you high on MySpace. The more song plays and you have, the more attention you will get, and this will definitely turn into success.<br /><br /> One of the easiest and best ways to increase MySpace music plays is with TheLabel360.com . Our company makes promoting your music on MySpace a breeze. TheLabel360.com automatically increases your song plays without you having to do anything at all, which can lead you and your Music Ranking #1 in the MySpace top charts, In no time, your MySpace music profile will rank up there with some of the biggest names in Music industry who promote their music on MySpace.<br /><br /> In fact, many huge bands are using TheLabel360.com to get more attention from the media. This can help the aspiring Singer-Band or even the regular person who is trying to rank in the top percentage of MySpace.<br /><br /> Our Executives recently read a story of a guy who was having the same problems as most artists do on MySpace and not getting much attention or becuase he couldn't get over 1 million Plays in a year. But when finding out about Major artist using TheLabel360.com, He has joined and has been recently selling tons of his own music online without the need of a record company." Raking in almost $850,000 a year without having a record deal and having to pay that annoying middle man,That always seems to want a cut of everthing you make. "<br /><br /> Learning how to increase your MySpace music plays on your Music player is something that can be extremely beneficial to an artists with a MySpace profile.<br /><br /> Since MySpace use song plays to determine where Singers or Bands rank on the MySpace charts, increasing your MySpace music plays can help the average artists reach stardom. With hundreds of millions of members, ranking high on MySpace can lead to fame in no time.<br />www.thelabel360.comthelabel360https://www.thelabel360.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5680745773101995661.post-59887296992730062102009-11-17T21:36:43.087-08:002009-11-17T21:36:43.087-08:00You're right, Alexa!

A recent epiphany I have had is that most of the REALLY important things in life are never urgent, so they get pushed to the bottom of the priority list.

I think the hardest thing is choosing when you have multiple responsibilities and disciplines (parenthood, money-making, gigging, exercise, practicing, promotion, etc). How to choose how to divide up your limited time so that it makes the most sense is where I struggle. Maybe a future post? And best of luck with your new release!

You should send them a big thank you!<br /><br />I agree with your premise that the business side of the equation is important and often no different from any business equation. I'm also a jazz musician and I work more than most of my peers. Is it because I'm a better musician than them? No. It's because I approach my business as a business. <br /><br />But you lost me at the end there when you said that you feel lucky to be working at all. I don't know where you live, but in Seattle there is plenty of demand for my music. I just have to search it out. I play bars, restaurants, nightclubs, coffee shops, concerts, festivals, weddings, corporate parties, etc. In fact, there's so much work that I had to form a company to farm out the gigs I couldn't play. I would venture to guess that the same is true in most medium to large markets. <br /><br />What separates those who work from those who don't in my experience is a willingness to be proactive and to play a variety of types of gigs.<br /><br />Thanks for the post!
