Let me tell you about someone who is doing something interesting in the music industry.Tom Cosm is a guy who performs an interesting blend of minimal, electro, trance andwhatever else he decides to chuck in there, using a laptop and various controllers.He promotes his musical project using word of mouth, keeping all of his music free fordownload to anyone at any time.Tom has used this method to become a well known musician and has traveled to performand teach at some of the worlds most renowned electronic dance music festivals, includingBoom Festival (Portugal), Rainbow Serpent Festival (Australia) and Ultra Groove (Brazil).The other interesting niche about this guy, is he makes all of his techniques available toanyone... no production secrets or exclusivity. His interactive website is full of tutorialvideos and ready to jam Ableton Live packs, so people can see not just how he wrote themusic, but how he gives a true live performance (he's not one of these hit-play-and-dancearound-like-i'm-doing-somet

**UNDERCOVER DETECTIVES IN 'ALL' CLUBS AT SURFERS PARADISE QLD & POSITIONED SOUROUNDING AREAS** Last weekend (15/09/07) I arrived at surfers around 12:30am, dropped my stuff off at the hotel and met with friends at the nearest club on Cavill Ave, the first night I noticed 6-7 kiddies off their faces being hand cuffed and taken to the station (not drunk and had no idea what they got themselves into), the second night was the worst, their were undercover 30-40 yr old men giving signals to girls (18-24 yrs old) to talk to anyone potentially on drugs, their were guys 20-25 yrs old (pretending – looking totally like ravers) to drink beer or coloured flasks scoping out people and sms back to one main person within each club, I saw people taking advantage by giving money to little kiddys (who had no idea) and ‘climing up the chain’ for the source, as we left we went to the second club on ‘Orchid Ave’, as soon as we walked in there were 8-9 undercovers standing around sms each o

Five ideasWhat people should be talking aboutBy Dwayne Mamo April 29, 2007 | 12:00 a.m. CST[1] EXIT STRATEGYPresident Bush has vowed to veto a Senate proposal passed Thursday that would require American troops to begin leaving Iraq by Oct. 1.Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said the legislation is “in keeping with what the American people want.” However, the White House immediately labeled supporters of the bill as defeatist and announced that the measure “is dead before arrival” on the president’s desk. Indeed, members of both parties are already starting work on a new bill. Thursday’s legislation passed 51-46 along largely party lines, suggesting that Democrats do not have the two-thirds majority to override a presidential veto.Meanwhile, the troop “surge” that Bush authorized three months ago has led to improvements in Baghdad and the Anbar province, said Gen. David Petraeus, U.S. military commander in Iraq.Thursday’s vote came almost four years after

Heat return home, seeking any way to stop Bulls in playoff seriesPublished: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 | 4:07 PM ETCanadian Press: TIM REYNOLDSMIAMI (AP) - From Pat Riley's perspective, the biggest reason why his Miami Heat have dropped the first two games of their series with the Chicago Bulls is not Luol Deng's scoring or Ben Gordon's rhythm.Instead, Riley blames the New Jersey Nets. To secure the No. 2 seed for these Eastern Conference playoffs - plus get to the 50-win mark, a goal Chicago talked about all season - the Bulls needed only a win in New Jersey last week in their regular-season finale. But the Nets won that night, dropping Chicago to the No. 5 seed."Usually, born out of that kind of adversity comes something else," Riley said. "And I think you saw that in the first two games."Now, it's time for the Heat to respond to some big-time adversity.The Bulls will fly to Miami on Thursday with a 2-0 lead in the first-round matchup against the defending NBA champions, who need home

BLACKSBURG, Va. - The family of Virginia Tech gunman Seung-Hui Cho told The Associated Press on Friday that they feel "hopeless, helpless and lost," and "never could have envisioned that he was capable of so much violence." "He has made the world weep. We are living a nightmare," said a statement issued by Cho's sister, Sun-Kyung Cho, on the family's behalf.It was the Chos' first public comment since the 23-year-old student killed 32 people and committed suicide Monday in the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history.Raleigh, N.C., lawyer Wade Smith provided the statement to the AP after the Cho family reached out to him. Smith said the family would not answer any questions, and neither would he."Our family is so very sorry for my brother's unspeakable actions. It is a terrible tragedy for all of us," said Sun-Kyung Cho, a 2004 Princeton University graduate who works as a contractor for a State Department office that oversees American aid for &nb

WASHINGTON - Desperate for support among fellow Republicans, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales faced grim prospects Friday after a bruising Senate hearing that produced one outright call for resignation and a fistful of invitations and hints to quit. One GOP member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, John Cornyn (news, bio, voting record) of Texas, predicted Gonzales would weather the furor and said he should. "Frankly, I don't think the Democrats are going to be satisfied with the resignation by Al Gonzales," he said.Gonzales gave no indication Friday that he was leaving."Please know that as you continue your work, I am by your side," the attorney general told an audience of crime victims' rights supporters. He spoke in a gravelly voice the day after his long day of testimony.Gonzales also called several GOP senators, including Cornyn and Arlen Specter (news, bio, voting record) of Pennsylvania, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, an aide said.Specter said Gonzales sounded &qu

MMORPG ( M assively M ultiuser O nline R ole P laying G ame) is a role playing game on the computer played by many people.In the beginning, there was Dungeons & Dragons. This game swept over the gaming landscape in the 1970s, encouraging teenagers and adults to engage in imaginative puzzle-solving. Taking on the personae of a grumpy old wizard, or a brave-but-stupid warrior, or maybe a quiet, sneaky pickpocket, the group would face challenges together, grow in experience, solve riddles, strategize combats, negotiate treaties. It was always a dream of these role players to be able to do this interaction on the computer. In fact, some of the earliest computer games were in essence single player adventures. One of the first on line role playing games was Gemstone III. This was on the GEnie network, and allowed its members to take on roles, kill monsters, chat with each other, buy pretty clothes and items, and have fun. It was enormously addictive in those years.In current times, there are many MMORPGs to cho

The competition is fierce and your company is just one in a billion others trying to grab the attention of consumers and the business world. How can you get your company to the top of the pile and start gaining the clout and money you need to succeed? In Part I and II of this article, I will reveal some of the top five marketing and promotion tools that are used by some of the biggest names in any industry. I call it Bulldozer Marketing. First, let me start with the basics.

It's all about marketing and promotion. While there are never any guarantees that your product or service will become the next big thing, one thing is certain: Unless you know the rules of engagement to this game, no matter how unique and urgently needed your product or service is, most people will never hear about it.

Let me preface this by saying that I have the utmost respect and admiration for songwriters who can write song after song. Those very talented individuals who, while they are sitting on the plane, in the bathroom, or at a dining table, grab a napkin, the roll of toilet paper, the safety guide on the airplane, or whatever may be handy and start frantically writing. While I have had this inspiration once in a while, its not a fluent talent. So my hats are off to you! The statistics were very interesting and I hope not conclusive of what is going on in the music industry right now, although I suspect they are indicative of it.

KUALA LUMPUR -

Ever since the notion of "disco" was filtered through our collective system and guiltless straight people began to enjoy rhythm-based music again-OK, call it post-Acid House-Trance music has undergone a great cell division.

Genres begat micro-genres, which mutated into wholly new forms. Some conferred coolness, others solidified into cheese. That, in itself, was fine because, in clubland, nothing is worse than a tired sound. But DJs got so bent out of shape over how to categorize a particular track or producer, they often seemed to drown in the sea of minutiae. A music conversation with a DJ often resulted in a competition of cool, instead of the answer to the question: Um, did you like the record?

Relationship…for some that word stirs up fears of commitment and for others it conjures up the idea of ever lasting love. For many on the dating scene ‘ever lasting love’ is their ultimate goal but how do you find someone to go on a date with and once you do how do you go from date to relationship?

While the person you’re dating may be looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right, they may not be looking for Mr. or Mrs. Right now, meaning pull in the reins and go a little slower. But let’s start at the beginning instead of jumping straight to the finish line. Let’s get back to the basics.

To get back to basics, let’s start with a history lesson. Dating can be a scene right out of your High School memory banks. Many are haunted by memories of their first date and the nervous tension that resulted from the anticipation of it: “Did I pick the correct outfit?” “Will I smell good to them?” “Is my breath okay?” “What will

Mobile phone ringtones are sounds emanating from handsets to indicate incoming calls. Some of the special types of mobile phone ringtones include monophonic ringtones, polyphonic ringtones, mp3 ringtones, real ringtones and true ringtones. These ringtones differ in their sound output; while some like monophonic ringtones are made up of single notes played one at a time, others such as real ringtones or true ringtones enable mobile phone users to listen to real life sounds! There are a multitude of tunes in all these different categories and often it becomes difficult for a user to select one specific ringtone! In this context, it would be in his interest to understand what constitutes a "good" ringtone in the first place. Good ringtones are those that are pleasing to hear. Good ringtones are those that are audible without being irritating to the mobile phone owners or others listening to the same. As a matter of fact, the sound quality of a ringtone depends to a large extent on the technical capabiliti

Inspired by his long stay in New York, Marc Romboy releases this surprising jazzy single in collaboration together with his mate Dimitri Andreas. "Talking all that jazz" is an outstanding piece of house music combined with warm and organic sound samples live recorded by a jazz combo. An awesome bonus track is the remix Patrick Lindsey + M.in have done. Both have just caused a massive stir with their fantastic remix of Radio Slaves "Orchestrating maneuvers in the dark", one of the most innovative tracks in 2009. http://www.humpty.de?id=47&aid=24134&lang=en

Snag Films is an innovative site that offers 1000+ documentaries available for free streaming and RIP: A Remix Manifesto has just been added to an extensive collection of music related films. In RIP, filmmaker Brett Gaylor explores issues of copyright in the information age, mashing up the media landscape of the 20th century and shattering the wall between users and producers. The films central protagonist is Girl Talk, a mash-up musician topping the charts with his sample-based songs. But is Girl Talk a paragon of people power or the Pied Piper of piracy? Creative Commons founder, Lawrence Lessig, Brazils Minister of Culture Gilberto Gil and pop culture critic Cory Doctorow are also along for the ride.

In exactly one week, the legendary Massive Attack will play its first Australian show since 2003. So what to expect from their grand return? ITM got on the phone with founding member Daddy G to find out.

ITM grabbed Future champ Boys Noize to talk about his month long Australian visit, as well as the changing dance music landscape and throwing open his doors to a myriad of collaborators.

Last month there were rumors that Apple was in talks with labels about storing iTunes purchased music in the cloud. It's a logical extension of Apple's Lala.com purchase and their cloud platform. Then the chatter died down. Now comes word that Apple has been meeting with film and tv execs asking to allow iTunes users to store purchased content on the company's servers. Sources say the iPad is at the center of these talks, and if true Jobs may have provided the "must have" reason the iPad is missing.Is $5 iTunes Streaming Next? As iTunes inches closer to the cloud, is a Spotify or MOG-like service part of the plan? Not necessarily. To have impact, Apple music streaming would need to be be available on more than just the iPad. More importantly, low cost streaming could inhibit sales on ITunes, and Apple has almost always followed a path that encourages purchases within its own ecosystem.It's All About ControlMuch more likely is that Apple wants to make in the cloud storage of music and films

Does a West Coast sound exist today? Certainly with people like Miguel Migs around, we're always going to talk about it, but the internet is leveling the old regional accents that we became accustomed to and maybe that's not a bad thing...

Yesterday, Joan Rivers made an appearance on the Howard Stern show where she revealed that a man she was dating dropped dead during a dinner seven months ago. Today, we have a transcript! And while it sounds like she's talking about Le Cirque, as mentioned yesterday, she definitely leaves the issue open to interpretation. And the Le Cirque folks note: "The crme brulee’s to die for, but that’s about it." Regardless of where, it's a wacky story:JOAN RIVERS ON THE HOWARD STERN SHOW/SIRIUS XM/March 2, 2010

Select quotes: HOWARD STERN: …I think you look terrific. I think you’re an inspiration…my mother… says to me ‘boy, that Joan Rivers looks glamorous.’ JOAN RIVERS: Then how come I’m sitting here alone? HOWARD STERN: …talk about your dating…I understand, and I don’t know if this is a rumor, a lot of stuff gets in the press and you don’t know if it’s real. You were recently on a date where during the date the guy dropped de

In all this build up to the opening of Keith McNally's new Bowery spot Pulino's, a lot of readers were probably wondering when the big fashion rags would finally chime in with some much needed extra coverage. No worries. Today, Women's Wear Daily runs a profile on Pulino's chef Nate Appleman who says his "so unique" pie will be "Bowery-style" and cut in a "very unique" (sometimes unique doesn't cut it) way.
