Paramore | Music Site of The Month

Paramore | Music Site of The Month

By Ryan Van Etten on 10/01/2009

Music Site of The Month is a new series where we spotlight an awesome music website based on its interactive content, fan engagement, and overall design. This month the spotlight is on Paramore. Paramore.net is more than a website—it is a community and social network for Paramore fans. We need to see more music sites like this.

Who Pays For Music Downloads, Seriously?

Who Pays For Music Downloads, Seriously?

By Ryan Van Etten on 09/24/2009

It’s 2009. Why are people are still paying for mp3 downloads when there is an abundance of awesome music available for free? Digital music is becoming more free by the minute. There is music that you can download for free—legally or illegally—and there is music that you can stream for free. I support bands that are giving their tracks away for free.

Connect with the Buzz in your Music Scene

Connect with the Buzz in your Music Scene

By Ryan Van Etten on 09/18/2009

Fans want to connect with musicians. Musicians want to connect with fans. Fans want to connect with fans. How are they all connecting in 2009? Social platforms such as Twitter, Ustream, and Facebook allow artists to communicate and interact directly with their fans. Direct communication bridges the abyss dug by decades of record label domination.
