Now Search The Best Indie Music Promotion Resources on the Internet from maxlowe.net!

April 29th, 2008 • admin • 1 comment • Related • Filed Under

Recently one of my blog posts about how to keep up a good MySpace blog was featured on Knowthemusicbiz.com. I’m really pleased to see how fast that site is growing because it links together all of the best music business resources on the web, totally free. Most of the time, if you’ve got a question about something that has to do with the music biz - general and specific - you’re going to be able to find a few opinions archived at Knowthemusicbiz.com.

I figured I’d try out a Google Search box to make it easier to search for information on whatever topic you’re scratching you’re head about. You should be able to search maxlowe.net, knowthemusicbiz.com or the whole internet from here. I’m not 100% sure yet it’s going to work, but we’ll give it a few days and see what happens…

MySpace teams up with Major Labels, Screws Indie Artists?

April 4th, 2008 • maxlowe • 1 comment • Related • Filed Under

At least that’s my take on the new MySpace music site reported to be taking shape in the New York Times yesterday.

According to the NYT:

Visitors to the site will be able to listen to free streaming music, paid for with advertising, and share customized playlists with their friends. They will also be able to download tracks to play on their mobile devices, putting the new site in competition with similar services like Apple, Amazon and eMusic.
