Mobile Marketing Helped Sell a Million Records

Francisco Dao — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 01:53:28 -0400

Have you ever heard of Lil’ Wayne? Probably not. I listen to more hip-hop than the average 38 year-old and I’ve never even heard of Lil’ Wayne. But thanks in large part to a smart mobile marketing campaign, he just had the biggest record launch since 2005; selling over a million copies in the first week. To give you an idea of how big that is, Britney Spears’ last album only sold 290,000 copies in its first week.

Can't Sing? What about a LIP SYNC TV Series?

William Wood — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 14:40:58 -0400

We can't help but notice all the Music Variety Show on TV such as American Idol, Nashville Star and others. Would you like to see a updated version of Puttin on the Hits, the hit Lip Sync Look-a-like show that aired in the 80's.
Should the name be saved or changed? Any suggestions.
Thanks

Home Office - Day 4

Jenn de la Vega — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 17:31:15 -0400

I'm doing it again. Staring down my big to-do list and all I can do is clean my room.
I did this in college. When I'd sit down to write a paper. I'd have to straighten up my desk, fold all my clothing, etc etc. When it was all clean, there was nothing else to do but the task at hand.

In Finland, the Accordion is Still Cool

I'm currently on a short vacation in my home country of Finland, and
even through the relative isolation of a television set at my parents'
summer cottage, have been reminded of the country's famed musical
heritage. Last night's television news depicted Tuska-Festival,
an annual gathering of metal bands in Helsinki, while the night before,
the nation's cultural headlines focused on--yes--accordions.

Music Goes Green

Fast Company staff — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:20:09 -0400

"We started doing shows in 1998. You look around, and you realize that there are trucks and buses and the tour has a pretty large carbon footprint. So we started running our buses on biodiesel and working to buy offsets. With this year's tour, we're bringing in nonprofits. We'll see if we can up their membership or give away tickets so they can raise money. We match our audience contributions dollar for dollar, up to $2,500 per charity."

Home Office - Day 3

Jenn de la Vega — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 15:25:06 -0400

Only 4 days of real unemployment and I got hired part time at one of my internships. I guess it's good to have an office model to keep me in line. Periodic check-ins are what I need. When I'm left alone for too long, I boil over and don't know exactly where to start again.
