Good song.  Slightly odd video…

Another excellent tune from the bassoon wielding folksters, Moulettes!

Happy Godiva Day everyone!

Today sees the release of Alex Day’s new single.  There is a real chance of Alex hitting the charts again (Christmas number 4 with his last single).  It’s really great that independent artists can do this.  Check out the song and buy it, if you wanna.

Traffic for Facebook Artist Pages Plummets — (Thanks, Zuckerberg)

Holy shit…everyone knew the removal of Facebook’s default page was gonna to cripple the marketing ability for brand pages and app companies like BandPage, but this is catastrophic. Worst of all, it means artists are going to feel the most pain.

What it means:

• Bandpage of RootMusic is in serious trouble, although they surely didn’t act like it at SXSW.
• The music marketing sector of Facebook starts with a clean slate. No one knows how to tackle it yet, not even BandPage.
• Bands need to invest in making a web homebase other than Facebook, Tumblr or One Sheet. Don’t strictly rely on the social networks to get it done, because then this happens.
• Commerce apps like ours need to take advantage of Timeline’s strengths in order for bands to keep a home on Facebook.

This is pretty cool.

Good song from The Duke of Norfolk’s Barn Owl EP. Howard is currently working on finishing up his next EP, and it is due for release any time now. Howard stated that his debut album is due for release in May of this year, and will then be working on a collaboration with some well known artists as well as working on a tour. So if you have yet to check out The Duke’s music, then get on board now! Enjoy a listen to The Straw That Broke the Camel’s Back!

This is a live track from Southampton-based singer/songwriter Steve Lowis. I really love this song.
