Updating the book

We’ve talked about this in the podcast, but I thought it might be good to mention it again anyway: I’m writing a book called Music in the Digital Age, which you can download and read as I write it.

Apart from the subject material, which will be of interest to readers of this blog, it’s worth bringing it up here because the section I’m writing at the moment is the long overdue update to my ‘20 Things You Must Know About Music Online‘ e-book, which was released here nearly 5 years ago.

There’s a lot more to the e-book – and plenty of content to be added as the year progresses – but you can get your copy now as a PDF or in Kindle and iBooks format for whatever you want to pay for it, and you’ll get the updates automatically. Hope you enjoy it.

Podcast 2: Reviews

Play

Steve and I were on a train to London and thought it was a nice opportunity to have a podcast-style chat. After tossing a few topic ideas around, we decided to chat about reviews – which was topical for both of us for one reason or another. Hope you find it of interest.

In the podcast, we mention:

The music of Emily Baker;
The music of Calamateur;
The music of Steve Lawson
and how to submit your Bandcamp album for review.

Podcast 1: Spotify

Play

Steve and I got together this evening for our usual glass of wine, to play each other our favourite new music discoveries and to chat about stuff concerning the internet. As you do.

This time, we decided to record some of it and put it out as a podcast. We’ll probably do it again. This time, it was about Spotify, because that’s what we’d been thinking about. Hope you find it interesting. Be interested to hear what you think.
