Billy Corgan: “Quality First”

Billy Corgan: “Quality First”

By Ryan Van Etten on 04/22/2012

During SXSW 2012 Billy Corgan shared some rockable insights for indie musicians. “At the end of the day you always have to focus on the fact of quality first and everything else comes second” he says in the video below. (4:00) Corgan talked at SXSW about how artists need to create experiences that translate to [...]

UMF vs. SXSW 2012

UMF vs. SXSW 2012

By Ryan Van Etten on 04/10/2012

It’s pretty fair to say that in a moshpit SXSW attendees would trample UMF attendees. The SXSW-ers, being in Austin, have Texas power, and the UMF-ers, in Miami, might just be too numb to feel it. Both events took place in March 2012. I like to do photos of each but because I’ve been so [...]

Best Music App (can Spotify do that?)

Best Music App (can Spotify do that?)

By Ryan Van Etten on 01/10/2012

In NJ, summer 2011, I witnessed a violent conversation about what is the best mobile music app. It pretty much sums up the state of mobile music streaming in 2011: Brandon: Rdio is where it’s at in music right now. Kerry: I. Don’t. Care. I love Spotify. Brandon: Name anything. I’ll play it right now. [...]

Turn Up The =Bas=

By Ryan Van Etten on 01/08/2012

You may know that in the A-side of 2011 I had the chance to do the web design for a project of massive value to musicians: the web version of Bas Grasmayer‘s thesis about marketing music through non-linear communication. He studies progress in music business since the MP3 and develops the ecosytem model for marketing [...]
