Record Store Day Fallout 2017: How Much Those Exclusives Will Now Cost You Online
This past weekend, Record Store Day celebrated a decade of exclusive vinyl releases, early morning lineups and feverish consumerism with its 10th annual event.

Playlist marketing must focus on artists not songs, says Believe’s Georges Tremblay

Canada Just Took a Major Stand for Net Neutrality
The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), Canada’s telecommunications regulator, just ruled that Canadian ISPs cannot exempt certain kinds of content, such as streaming video, from counting toward a user’s data cap — a practice called “zero-rating.” The decision arose from a complaint against Videotron, a wireless carrier which operates mostly in Quebec.(Futurism)
Is technology slowly but gradually killing music?
New research has rekindled the ‘music vs technology’ debate. And perhaps much more. Streaming, according to University of Ohio researcher Hubert Léveillé Gauvin, has virtually killed the instrumental intro.(ET Tech)
Streaming killing the instrumental intro. Unforeseen consequences are so interesting.
And good day!
Hello
Good morning!
Hello hello!
I see it is busy in here today
The place is throbbing.
Frig. I went for groceries. The site’s still so throbbing I almost couldn’t get on!
There seems to be some problems with the site today.
I had a few issues saying that the site couldn’t connect to a server, but I just figured that was a work issue for me.
Alright then. It seems to be working okay now. Right?
Yeah, I got “spinning pie” for a while.
Sorry about that, the hamster that runs the server sprained an ankle (who knew) so we had to bring in his backup, a gerbil.
It’s working great for me!
The gerbil seems to be doing a fine job. Get well soon hamster.
If the the Gerbil keeps up the good work way may have to bring him off the bench and put him in charge of weekends and holidays
If we pay the raccoon in cookies, will he be willing to step in on an as-needed basis?
He’s management, you can’t expect him to do actual work
man, that would kill Bay of Pigs…
