The Musician's Arsenal: Killer Apps, Tools and Sites Featuring BandsinTown - MTT - Music Think Tank

A new tool in the arsenal of a DIY musician. The industry establishment still fights to be relevant, but more and more technology is making it possible for bands to get their music out there on their own. No more gatekeepers means more music for everyone. And most exciting to me, more music that doesn't sound a whole lot like whatever sold the most last time around. I crave music that is new and different . . . truly original. And now instead of having a problem finding it, I have a problem finding time to listen to all of what I can so easily find. I think I can live with that!

Danish Company Says It Can Turn Piracy Into Real Money For Artist - hypebot

Can technology finally come to the rescue? There has to be a solution that will allow artists to get their music out and fans to hear it that is, in it's essence, fair. No doubt the large established record companies won't like it, but they've had more than enough time to embrace this new world, and it seems apparent that they will only enter it by being dragged, kicking and screaming. It's refreshing to hear new solutions!
