Warner Music Group order YouTube to take down all... →
“Warner Music Group ordered YouTube on Saturday to remove all music videos by its artists from the popular online video-sharing site after contract negotiations broke down. The order could affect hundreds of thousands of videos clips, as it covers Warner Music’s recorded artists as well as the rights for songs published by its Warner/Chappell unit, which includes many artists not...

WatchJenny performing Thanks, Mesopotamia which is a song based upon an advice column article. Pretty great.!.
WatchJenny performing Bricks at Schubas.
Do or do not, there is no try
Do I try too hard or not enough? I don’t succeed.

Mikael Karlsson - Until We Bleed (feat. Lykke Li). Very mellow. Very calm. Slow. Background noise. Subtle and constant. Nothing particularly crazy happens but the song starts and ends.
Mint - I’m a Traffic Light. Mainly acoustic guitar. The traffic light metaphor’s not really as strong as I thought it...

Last.fm and shuffle conspire against me
What the fuck iTunes? What the fuck Last.Fm 30 Seconds to Mars? Fucking Final Fantasy Soundtrack? LINKIN PARK? How did you 3 make it into my top 10 of the last 7 days? Seriously how? I haven’t purposely chosen any of you. I’ve had you on shuffle over night to add new and exciting artists. I removed Spicegirls from my shuffle-able music because they were coming up too often. Don’t...

WatchI laugh like a fool, but I am entitled to.
“How about Greg Laswell… Ok most of you are here to see Greg, so that would be actually your queue to be all “Woooh Greg Laswell, I’m gonna take my pants off… so later when I say Greg Laswell, I want you to be all “Oooh Greg, my vagina”… shortly followed by being told I’d be deported… Gave away...
WatchWoodcut, recorded at Schubas. Only just found somewhere worth uploading it. This starts with her swearing at Brandon the Sideman as he leaves the stage. Can’t remember what song he was on at the very beginning but yeah, middle fingers as he slips out a side door and runs off.

I am really close to convincing Rachel Browne to let me quit her job for her.
This is how the convo would go.
ME: Hello this is Rachel Browne. I am sorry, but I will not longer be able to work for you anymore. I know it has only been two weeks, but I am driving to Philly and I am about to break my veganism on cheese steak and I am going to see Letters to Cleo tomorrow, so I...
Friends
Over the years since attaining a certain status within the FM/LP community, I think I lost track of how to make friends. I’ve always lived by the belief that you can never have too many, and to one extent I think I tried to live with that. Online, I constantly built friendships and that in itself isn’t a bad thing because I consider my internet friendships as important as those in...

MySpace Top 40 Music Post
Decided to make a playlist based on my top friends. Those who were actual friends rather than bands are replaced with various musicians I love currently, such as Rosi Golan, Kyler England, Tegan and Sara, The Paper Raincoat, and Allison Weiss. Rosi Golan – C’est L’amour Gregory & The Hawk – isabelle Ingrid Michaelson – You And I Holly Brook – Wanted Dave House – Beep Beep...
WatchVery brief clip of Holly Brook performing with Duncan Sheik in New York on Nov13 at the Town Hall. Beautiful voice and she is one of my top recommended singers. There’s a link on my blog over »» that you can click and go to her page, or just go to her MySpace.
WatchThe Bowery Ballroom show. Here’s some footage of The Paper Raincoat and Adam Christgau. This was just after an epic acapella number which I wish I’d recorded. I was feeling down for a while after I missed that.
WatchThis is more for Davina’s sake than anyone else in the whole world.
Dan dances and surprised me a little with the way that he wiggles, fo shizzle.
WatchThere is a singer, a producer, a lover and a hugger out there called Dan Romer. If you ever get a chance to meet the guy, please say hello. He will be friendly, most likely hug you and sometimes even dance on/with/near/something you. He is amazing and is responsible for all manner of awesomeness you are likely to hear in the near future.
WatchI went to the Bowery Ballroom on the 21st November with Cynthia Li. We were going to see The Paper Raincoats because Adam Christgau was drumming with them, and I had heard that TPR were pretty cool. We were actually amazed with how good they were. Ironically, this video is of the headliner, Pete and J, during their encore. What’s not ironic is that the two opening bands joined them for...
Take That - Circus
Firstly, who’s idea was it for Take That and Britney Spears both to release albums called Circus? Are you fucking kidding me? Its not even a circus time of the year. Who do they think they are? The fucking Beatles? I don’t know.
Secondly, Take That usually strike some kind of untimely gold in the pop world with their albums. They make mainstream pop-charm-catchy tracks that whether...
But Jon, what started all your travelling around?
An Introduction to Jon’s Travelling ways. I used to think I was too big for small venues. I’d seen some of the largest bands in the world play some of the largest venues, and at the same time some the most ‘intimate’ shows. My idea of intimate ranged between 10 and 200 people. 10 was a one off but 10 it was. When I moved into music promotion on a slightly larger scale, I...
