Ultra Music Festival 2011

Ultra Music Festival 2011

By Ryan Van Etten on 04/07/2011

Ultra Music Festival 13 hit Miami on March 25–27, 2011 and if you attended, then chances are you got shot by the lens of Adam Jackson, corresponding photographer, at least once. Jackson is a prolific lifestreamer and photographer who’s made his way to UMF every year since 2004. Researchers have clocked him at 60 photos per minute. 40.

By Ryan Van Etten on 07/27/2010

Mr. Owl, How many clicks does it take to get to the rock n’ roll center of a retail mp3? Let’s find out. A One… A two-HOO…too many! Mr. Owl just BitTorrented right in because it was easier than buying it on iTunes. It took less clicks. It took less clicks. Are you testing your fans’ user experience?

Musician Apps—What Do Fans Want? 5 Key Components.

Musician Apps—What Do Fans Want? 5 Key Components.

By Ryan Van Etten on 05/12/2010

Last year I covered four platforms that musicians can use to build iPhone apps—Mobile Roadie, MobBase, iLike, and Kyte. Sound Around is another one, and is currently in private beta. Discussion from yesterday’s autoplay poll got me asking myself, “what do fans really want in an artist app?” I thought about it for a while and came up with 5 key components.

New Paramore Hulu Channel Reaches Brand New Eyes

New Paramore Hulu Channel Reaches Brand New Eyes

By Ryan Van Etten on 02/10/2010

Paramore + Hulu = Awesomeness. A hi-fi artist channel that rocks. Paramore outperforms both on and off the stage. Why do I like Paramore? They are kick-ass live performers. But I’ve never seen them in person. Hulu delivered them to me last year and now again with the brand new Paramore channel at hulu.com/paramore

Fans Take The Power Back—RATM’s Facebook-Induced No. 1

Fans Take The Power Back—RATM’s Facebook-Induced No. 1

By Ryan Van Etten on 01/24/2010

Bill Burton: “Sometimes we limit ourselves by what we believe we can do. We don’t even start. We don’t even try.” Burton delivered this powerful point in his TEDx talk last week, called How To Have A Christmas Number One Single, where, citing RATM’s rise to UK Xmas no. 1, he exemplified the boundless force of social media, and, through a storytelling memorization activity, he demonstrated the limitless—but often unrealized—potential of the human mind.
