  1. So *that's* what iTunes LP is for! The Everyone (half of the Pixies) offer more than just cover art, through Topspin. http://bit.ly/7zpXhw
  2. RT @kevinmd: "Well hung" comes from priapism a spinal cord injury causes, indicating a successful hanging. Didn't know that: http://is.g ...
  3. @jakerome Sorry for the message pile-on. Was trying to cover #sfmusictech thru microposts rather than usual long-windedness.
  4. @anukirk Hah! Good one.
  5. @lucasdickey re Bandcamp demo -- alas, no, that was at #sfmusictech. Free signup - http://bit.ly/81eVt
  6. #sfmusictech Dave Allen argues "every band needs a fifth Beatle" -- someone to do Web work, plus shlepping the gear.
  7. #sfmusictech Noting the time artists are spending on Web marketing, D Hyman of MOG asks: would they be better off if they were practicing?
  8. #sfmusictech Anthony Batt re Web: bands need to focus on "how to be creative, not how to use a tool. Because a tool won't do it for you."
  9. #sfmusictech Tim Quirk: If your band's myspace page is the first thing that comes up in a google search, you're doing something wrong
  10. #sfmusictech Dave Allen: The new copyright is data. It used to be master recordings. So be careful what you do with this information
  11. More Hyman on MySpace: "Right now they're doing a lot of stuff for free.... That part's probably going to change too" based on label changes
  12. #sfmusictech Dave Hyman of MOG on MySpace -- Recent deals brought in talent, but "in a really large company it's hard to get stuff done."
  13. #sfmusictech: Sebastian Keefe says his band (Family of the Year) gets more referrals from Twitter than MySpace or any other site
  14. Marcus, con't: There are signs that the major labels are rethinking, but "there continues to need to be a lot of changes to make it happen."
  15. Marcus, con't: "If a partner says to you, i'm not going to take any risk. I need everything up front, it's not much of a partnership."
  16. Marcus, con't: "The mentality really needs to be one of partnership."
  17. Marcus, con't: "My investors are not giving me money to turn it over to the labels."
  18. #sfmusictech: Asked if he'd invest in a firm that needed to cut deals with the major labels, Larry Marcus of Walden VC said flatly, "No."
  19. #sfmusictech: VC Jacks' "good news": VCs run in packs. "Once you get one, then everybody else wants to do the deal too."
  20. Sugarman to music tech: You have to be looking to do something you haven't seen in the marketplace, not something incrementally different
