Music isn’t something I usually blog about, though at least 60% of my life is controlled at the moment by music. Just talking to a friend last night we got talking into the release of music via an online medium. He is in a band and is intending on releasing their next album online for free. Personally I think this is a great thing to do for any upcoming bands! Take a look at Harvey Danger and Lamount. Both bands I had never heard before, Harvey Danger has now become part of my “Favorites” playlist and I listen to it constantly, Lamount I also really enjoyed! Both have achieved major popularity and their music is now all around the world. New bands epically should consider releasing their music through an online medium, what do you have to loose? Your not going to make that much money in the first place! Ditch the record companies and start letting your music be heard all around the world, because at the end of the day that’s really what it’s about isn’t it?
Thats right, from now on, if you hit www.blogmusik.net into your browser it will automatically forward you to www.deezer.com. Why? Who knows! Ouriel from TechCrunch was having problems with the ‘k’ and the ‘.net’ though, is that enough for a company to change a domain?
Oh yes, the important bit, well Blogmusik, or Deezer as they are now called. [Its just not the same] are now legit! Imagine that.. For people who don’t know what Blogmusik / Deezer is click here.
Well since Pandora is no more for users outside the US the new Pandora of Europe seems to be Blogmusik.net. Hosted in France this is pretty legal, its been around for a couple of months now too! Nice design, amazing database of music, I’ve been able to listen to some songs I haven’t heard in ages. The ability for smart playlists, normal playlists! Also like the design and the loading of songs is pretty damn fast! Rating of songs is also available, the only feature it seems to be missing is the ability to buy the song you are listening to via Itunes! Anyway, its worth checking out for any of you who used Pandora! Enjoy..
