Episode #29 - DiscRevolt.com and new models for selling downloads

DOWNLOAD THE SHOW (12 Mb MP3 file)



Uncle Seth DiscRevolt cardBack from PodCamp NYC where I took delivery of FREE cards from a new service called DiscRevolt.com. In this episode I talk about this service, and how I hope it represents the beginning of more creative and interesting ways to sell music downloads rather than only at a (too high!) fixed price per song.

If you do decide to sign-up for DiscRevolt, please mention my band Uncle Seth in the "How Did You Hear About Us" field.

Mitch Joel says "yes."
Bob Lefsetz says "hell NO!" What do you think? Does the idea of branding cheapen music, or is it important part of the model for the modern music business?

Special Video Episode: presentation on Second Life from PodCamp Toronto

DOWNLOAD THE SHOW (51 Mb Quicktime Movie file)

First a quick note about PodCamp Toronto which happened this weekend -- it was AMAZING! As one of the event organizers, I want to thank everyone who came out to the event. The community driven nature of PodCamp means that in a best case situation, everyone present contributes to the success of the event, and I can say honestly that this was one of those best case scenarios.

I wanted to include one of the sessions from PodCamp in the OMM feed. I was thrilled to do a presentation with Bryan Person, one of the orignal PodCamp organziers, about Second Life. I've talked a fair bit about SL on the podcast before, and while what's here isn't strictly music related I think it's good information. It's also an excuse for me to publish my first-ever video podcast episode, so we'll see how well that works out!

Thanks to the fine folks at Ryerson University, video from all of the sessions are availible for download on the PodCamp Toronto schedule page at:

Click on the title for each presentation to download the Quicktime file, most of them in the 50-70 meg size range.
