The Evolution of Dance, Part 2

You may not know the name Judson Laipply, but you’d recognize his ORANGE CRUSH t-shirt and crazy dance moves from being one of The Most Watched YouTube Videos EVER, a little ditty called THE EVOLUTION OF DANCE.  Let’s take a look, shall we?

I don’t know if you saw the announcement, but Judson has released THE EVOLUTION OF DANCE 2, with all new songs and new dances.  I personally don’t find it as fresh as the original one was, but I applaud the addition of some moves that deserved to be in the first version.

Asher Roth: I Love College

A friend of mine reminded me of this video that I saw a while ago but completely forgot about needing to share as well:  I LOVE COLLEGE by Asher Roth.  So I’ll give the inspiration credit to him, and post the video here anyway:

Some might say that this video is a college fantasy, dreamed up just for the song.  Maybe it all depends on the school you went to, but mine was pretty darn close to this some of the time (or so I heard).

Not all the time, that would just be crazy talk.  

Asher Roth promoted himself really big on MySpace before being discovered.  For once, being Tom’s friend has paid off for someone.

How to Sell Music Online: Peoples Music Store

There are a few different ways people can buy music online, but they are all basically the same whether it by the iTunes Music Store, eMusic, Amazon, ro any other retailer.

 PEOPLES MUSIC STORE is a bit different, as it is setup and run by YOU, the music fan.  And unlike that alleged Ponzi scheme BURNLOUNGE from a few years ago, you don’t have to pay any money to participate.

All you have to do is select the music you want to sell, write a few reviews and articles, and post your links for people to buy from you.  You’ll be able to promote your store by including code on your own website, or by using Widgets on places like MySpace or Facebook.  The better you are at providing reviews and commentary, the more visible and profitable your storefront will become.

I’d call the whole thing “MyTunes”, but that name is already taken.

How To Identify That Song on the Radio

It’s not something that most music-oriented folk have a problem with, but the average person – surprisingly – doesn’t know much about music.  And they often have trouble identifying a song that’s playing on TV or the radio so that they can buy it later.

So instead of calling the station’s request line to ask what that song was, all the listener has to do now is call 866-411-SONG.

Hold the phone to the speaker for 15 seconds, and the system will automatically tell you what song and artist was playing.

The cost is a low $1 per request, or unlimited requests can be had for $4 per month.
