A trip to Play.com before the weekend lands (if I want something for any given weekend I’ll usually order by the previous Friday) tells me they’re now doing music downloads, DRM-free music downloads at that. Price-wise, it’s 50c more per track for Irish users in comparison to iTunes and you can only purchase if you’ve…

No Sir, I Won’t Be Presenting This Weekend
Just as I opened my mouth yesterday about the proposed ‘Getting Ahead In The Music Industry‘ day to be held in Kilkenny, the plug has been pulled by ArtLinks. It will be going ahead in Wicklow on November 24th, some of the speakers (including myself) remaining the same but for the moment it won’t be…
Getting Ahead In The Music Industry
I thought I’d give this a mention here as I’m involved in the setting up of a course with ArtLinks, due to be offered this Saturday in Kilkenny and on November 24th in Wicklow. The idea behind the day is “getting ahead in the music industry” and features Myself (in my KKM capacity) Alan Dawson…
MySpace, One Way In – No Way Out
MySpace is a strange one. From a musician’s point of view, if you want a profile there it’s easy out. Go to the MySpace music site, register yourself as an artist and away you go. (Note that you have to be on the MySpace music site to do it, or you’ll wind up with a…
Kilkenny Moosic
via Flickr My first batch of Moo cards arrived this evening in the post (along with a great free CD to review and podcast from Hybrasil) and I’m pretty impressed. The order was placed around 2am finally getting home after PodCamp and a gig on the 29th of last month. Picking up cards from Elly…

Today, KilkennyMusic.com have started a 3-week fundraising project i.e. we are trying to achieve a goal of EUR1,000 within three weeks.

Electric Picnic Ticket For Sale
Yep – selling my Electric Picnic ticket. €226.50 (ticket value and booking fee – looking for face value and the original booking fee as any electronic transaction likely to eat into it!). If you’re interested, just shout. I’ll register-mail it Tuesday morning if you’re living in Ireland for free. Payment can be made via PayPal,…
Music To Start A Business By
Here’s an open question, one I just put out via Twitter. Is there any album you listened to again and again while starting a business? I found that all my Event Ireland planning (between myself and Aidan) as well as the first month or two of business were spent with Air’s Talkie Walkie (affiliate link…
Pandora Will Fall Silent In Europe
I blogged on KilkennyMusic.com a while ago about the saving of internet radio, mentioning Pandora in particular as a site that I love to have open in the office. The selection of music is incredible and I’ve been introduced to so many great artists over the last year or so. Alas, in reading Techcrunch before…
