AOIR Music and Sound Panel – Oct 18, 2007

Friday, October 26th, 2007

This update is running quite late, but is still valuable, I think, in attempting to sustain the dialogue which was unfortunately given too short an interval at our panel on Music and Sound at the AOIR conference last week. As well, I particularly need to move among the "diaspora" of ...

Remake/Remodel

Thursday, September 27th, 2007

I hope I haven't used this Roxy Music song as a post title before... While assembling my upcoming conference papers, I've been twiddling with this blog on the side in lieu of regular updates (well, alright, I've also been focused on the dupobs release schedule - you can listen to ...

Ex-Perry Mental Geekery

Saturday, September 8th, 2007

Nice to be back in the swim of things. I just put a final report out the door on a research project that I'd been working on for 14 months. It was a difficult project - one that didn't always go as planned, that got intermittently sidelined by other events ...

Beercamp Vancouver

Friday, August 17th, 2007

Tonight and tomorrow I'll be mind-moshing with local geekerati at Barcamp Vancouver. If you're signed up to be there too, come up and innerdooce yourself (you already know me by sight, or can figure it out via flickr or facebook, can't you?). I always like to meet readers and fellow ...

On Last.fm and royalty payments

Monday, July 23rd, 2007

Clear Channel didn't get away with it, and now Last.fm is taking heat for not paying out royalties to independent artists. Last.fm, recently purchased by CBS, is now heating up indie music business blogs with this policy, even though it's been in place since the company started. Why so, asks the ...

FMC, A2IM force Clear Channel to pay royalties to independent musicians

Friday, July 20th, 2007

There's some great news in Future of Music Coalition's latest newsletter about Clear Channel's treatment of independent musicians. In just ten short days of campaigning (including blogging, negotiating with the radio giant directly, and filing a Request for a Declaratory Ruling at the FCC) the organization (with help from A2IM) ...

Quel bruit!

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007

Just a heads up in case you were expecting an entry here. Things are a little more noise than click of late, but blissfully so. We brought our daughter Isabel into this world just over a week ago. Here's proof: I'll return to regular blogging shortly, when the little boss permits ...
