The new coolest thing - custom twitter jewelry!
Obviously I submitted myself a millisecond after I saw this.
We’re kicking off a series of concerts to showcase the incredible talent on Tumblr. We’ll be holding the first one August 10th in our hometown of NYC.
Submit your band by July 22nd, 2009 for a chance at ultimate glory and $500!
I love learning about the future of the music business from Koreans! Why can’t America’s internet be that fast so we can get rid of CDs for good?
It's been one year since I started my Record Label
It has been one year since I started my record label and music publishing company! I cannot believe it has been a year, it feels like a lifetime. Studio Sarah Records and Studio Sarah Music Publishing are humming along nicely, but they have been much more work than I imagined.
Truthfully, it has been more than hard work with my companies. Hard work is only the half of it. This past year has been more than anything, emotionally challenging. Constant risk taking, faith, and hope. Constant learning, adopting, and evangelizing. How I’ve been able to keep faith in myself day in and day out is a wonder to me. Before I had these companies, a band, and employees relying on me, I used to get down all the time, thinking I “couldn’t do it.” But now I’m not just doing it for myself. I’ve built something that people believe in, and somehow I’ve been able to rise to the challenge.
As with most things in life, this past year I’ve wondered why certain things take so long! But, I’ve learned that things take time and that planning way ahead is essential. It is better for something to take longer and be done right than to rush the process.
As I reflect on this past year where I’ve made and released an album and merch, represented myself at conferences, and formed my first band, I’m amazed that in the coming weeks I will be making a music video, having my website redesigned, and triumphantly launching a PR campaign and tour.
Please wish me luck as I guide Studio Sarah Records and Studio Sarah Music Publishing on our second year and all the years to come! Power to the artist!
My First iPhone Post
So far I’m really enjoying Tumblr. I don’t feel so much pressure to write a long life-changing post like on my personal blogs. I’m trying this post out from the Tumblr iPhone app. This app had great reviews in the iTunes store and I think so far I would agree with that.
The only thing I’m noticing is that I can’t turn the keyboard sideways. This would improve my typing speed and accuracy. But I’m getting by.
I’m On A Boat A Cappella (via AcquireMusic)
This is so impressive. I love that they did most of the same moves as the original. My favorite line is still, “Never thought I’d be on a boat.”
Business cards have been on my mind lately. I was having trouble syncing my contacts for a while and when I would enter a new contact they would somehow magically get deleted in my address book. Well…all hell broke loose and I ended up with stacks and stacks of business cards all over my office. It was horrible! And I looked bad because I wasn’t getting back to all the nice people that I was meeting at different events. Check out this video with Keith Ferrazzi, his book, Never Eat Alone, I’ve read MORE than once, as he gives some business card tips.
FYI - I have now fixed my syncing issue and have ZERO business cards in my office. They have all been nicely recycled.
