Fellow musicologists,
The Internet has enabled the era of user-generated content as we all know. Prime examples of user-generated content are the blogs that a lot of us write and social networking sites and forums that we belong to, which allow easy publishing of and access to information. Our belief is that the volume of blog posts about an album is positively correlated with future sales (kinda obvious to most).
With this being said, we decided to create a group (and write this post) to provide a framework for discussion about how user-generated content influences consumer decision making (buying records, CD’s, and mp3’s) and to create a positive open dialog between mp3 bloggers and independent/major record labels.
First step was to create a group on Facebook to facilitate the discussion. Encourage you to sign up (if you are on Facebook) and voice your opinions, post news related to the subject, talk about your experiences in writing about the music that you love and any interactions you may have had with the labels and artists that you promote.

Newly released video for Count & Sinden Ft Kid Sister – “Beeper” here for your viewing pleasure. Official release date for the single is March 24 on Domino Records. Make sure you go out and grab it!!
The Count & Sinden have a few live dates together over the next few months and Sinden has a number of solo dates.
So it seems someone is dropping a link to a track called “Love” in the comments section of a couple of major music blogs (clever way to get your music heard). Rumor is that it is a new production from Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk. One source says that Xavier from Justice has confirmed it is true. Probability is low that its really him but we will keep you posted. In the meantime, here it is for your listening pleasure.
EDIT – Confirmed not to be Bangalter. Track is a production by Louis La Roche. Seems that someone grabbed a rip of the track and started posting it on the net referencing Thomas Bangalter. La Roche has provided a high quality version of the track. Download link below is now updated with it.
Dance crews are getting a lot of air time here in the US recently due to a show on MTV and a new movie in theaters. Without a doubt, Jabbawockeez are the most impressive crew in the dance game today (not to mention they represent San Diego amongst other cities on the West coast). This video is just one of many mind blowing performances. Byters will be eaten!!!
