Oi ja voi miten ihanaa lisätä itselle merkittäviä albumeja ja lisätä sinne vielä omaa tekstiä siitä miksi albumi on hyvä, paras, ehdoton, tajunnanräjäyttävä yms yms yms! Lisäilen juuri itselleni rakasta musiikkia kommentteineen kauppaani. Haluaisin tehdä tätä koko päivän, miettiä musiikkia, mitä kaikkea se tekee minulle ja millä kaikella tapaa. Musiikkiin ja niihin tiettyihin biiseihin liittyy aina jokin voimakas tunnetila jostain menneisyydestä. Ja miten voimmakkaasti tuo tunnetila tuleekaan taas päälle kun sen tietyn biisin soittaa - mikä voima musiikilla on!
Päivän biisi on The Bad Plus -poppoon 
Prehensile Dream. Kuuntele ja nauti!
Se on tänään, viides marraskuuta ja minulla on nenä paikoillaan ;) Illalla kuhistaan, katsotaan Nenäpäivä Show:ta ja twiitataan. Kuulostaa juuri oikealta tavalta viettää perjantai-iltaa. Niin, eli YLE2 18-24 ... ilta on pitkä mutta ah niin viihdyttävä!
Toimistossa, tyttöjen huoneessa soi tällä hetkellä Justin Timberlake (tehdään historiaa). Kohta varmaan vuorossa Prince, mennään tällä kimittävien miesäänien linjalla tänään.
Sain lauluoppilaaltani linkin aivan mahtavaan vinkin imitaattoriin, joka imitoi 25 ärsyttävintä vokalistia musabisneksessä. Tätä on pakko suositella eteenpäin. Omat lempparini ovat ehdottomasti Axl Rose, John Bon Jovi ja Aerosmith .. Tsekatkaa joko linkissä alla tai video-widgetistäni ja laittakaa eteenpäin:

Jep, taas on aika kertoa ajatuksista ja tällä kertaa suomeksi. Nenäpäivän suunnittelu pitää kiireisenä tällä hetkellä. Mitä enemmän olen siihen toimintaan tutustunut, sitä enemmän pidän siitä miten leikki/huumori/parodia ja hyväntekeväisyys on kudottu yhteen hyvin toimivaksi operaatioksi. Ehkä se on se ihana tekosyy hulluiluun, minkä Nenäpäivä tarjoaa mistä niin tykkään :)
Equal Dreams on myös mukana Nenäpäivän tiimien skabassa Mikko Kuustosta ja muita starboja vastaan ;) Ei oikeesti ole mitään järkeä olla osallistumatta, niin se vain on.

This blog is not going to be about music business and monetizing for real. Those who know me, also know that I would never dare to write about exactly that. To be honest, music has always been something totally else to me than something to monetize. Yep, I should never be in the music business. Music means far too much, it is worth more than money could buy.
My headline is inspired by a Youtube clip I saw today. The video clip is actually old, from January this year. In music business everything that happened more than 2 months ago, is old :) In this video Terry McBride talks about music business, how the music right holders are bad for music business since they want to own the rights to the music they’ve produced. He also talks about the conflict about how music has been and still is being monetized, and the fact that it doesn't work these days. He says we should not fight back when it comes to teenagers ways of consuming music .. plaa plaa .. It is an interesting clip, you should see it.
This guy irritates me somehow. I'm not saying that he has it wrong, (he's seen the music business dozen times more, so who am I to judge) but there really was something that bugged me. He was a good speaker, it felt like he was digging deep. But in the end, there was really something missing. I agree on some things that McBride said, but what irritated me most, was the lack of mentioning the source of music - artist. In fact, he never mentioned the word “artist” at all.
He went on and on about how music becomes important because of the emotion it gives us, and the context where the music is experienced. According to McBride, the consumer feels that he/she owns the “right to the music” because of the emotional bond that has taken place between the music and the listener. This dilemma, that everyone thinks they own the music (both the real right owner and the consumer) has caused that music business is where it is now. By accident, I happened to test this: I accidentially put on an old album, which brings me loads of memories and feelings. I could start to cry, the flashbacks are that real ;) But what happened next was that I started to think: “Gsus, this song is so good.” And: “What a great artist!” Is it really just me, who feels the personal memories AND the artist behind the music, the one that makes my memories so real for me after all these years? Why in the world would I think that I could do whatever with this piece of music, that I would just want to steal it and not give the artist what he/she deserves? Just the opposite, because I have such memories tied up with this music, it becomes even more valuable. If the teenagers lack a sense of respect for music, my god we should really do something about that!
By the way, the music I “happened” to listen today was “Crazy English Summer” by Faithless.
ps. This blog is surely a messy one, my thoughts are all around the place somehow - sorry.
I am one of those who would like to be good at writing and sharing stuff on the internet. But to be honest, that really is not one of my talents. But I guess that's ok since I am aware of that.
Spring is almost here. It should already have been here, Jesus! It's May and it feels like October. But how do I know that it actually is Spring? Cause we are working like hell in ED :) That's the way it always goes, towards spring and summer things get really hot and new big ED updates are around the corner .. seriously, it's gonna be gooooood! Just you wait.
I'm having Abba day. I don't think there's anyone else here in ED's office who likes Abba. Thats' a pitty, Abba is so Friday and I think that the whole office should have an Abba party right now .. yep, maybe someday soon ;)
This is my "serious" attemp to start writing a blog every now and then. I am not really that good of a writer, but I will give it a try. After all, seems like everyone's doing it these days, blogging. So ... here it is. My blog.
