In EP.23, I contemplate the clever market positioning of Kanye West, Nirvana and LMFAO's lyrics and a pivotal scene from the movie LA LA LAND. Oh yeah...and I finally blurt out one of the central myths of the music industry. Available wherever your get your podcasts.

26% drop in value. Ouch!!! Smart move from all the artists who sold their rights to Hipgnosis though.....swings and roundabouts. Lol theguardian.com/business/2024/…

In other news....I also produce travelgoalspodcast .....which has been shortlisted for "Podcast Programme of the Year" by Global Media Awards. Better get my Dinner jacket dry cleaned.

Remember this 90s Garage track? It LITERALLY tells the audience what to do. Like adding the sound of a crowd cheering to your record, so when a DJ plays it, it sounds like the dancefloor is cheering. Ha ha. For more dirty music industry tricks.... Check out this podcast.

Part of the reason I only made one podcast episode last year, was cus I was super busy in my day job, in music publishing. Great to see so much music I worked on used in so many TV shows. Great work ClearWaveMusic (New WIMHS episodes are in the pipeline).

Rule no 1: CLEAR YOUR SAMPLES BEFORE RELEASE - and that includes use on TikTok. TikTok Rapper Must Pay Sony $800K Over Illegal Music Sample: Judge billboard.com/business/legal…

This sort of makes sense though right? Like...isn't Adam Smith's first rule of economics "Market forces dictate the price of everything". (I probably made that up...or misquoted it. :/ ) But logically...if the demand is less than the supply...the price goes down.

Are Beyonce, Swifty, Rodriguez & Sheeran the last of the pop superstars? Financial Times thinks so. ...pretty sure Ive been ranting about this in the pub for a while too. Radio is in decline & it's hard to monetise TikTok fame, cause it's so shallow & fleeting. ft.com/content/624b17…

People losing it over "AI covers" ....humans can do convincing cover too. Weird Al has been doing them for decades. Anyway...here is a pretty authentic version so Smashing Pumpkins doing Green Day....by a flippin human no less!!! youtu.be/6Y6kq48wNNc?si…

Last weeks news: Ed Sheeran eating at a Sushi restaurant that has a £310 set menu. The story says his net worth is £300m. If that's true, he can afford to visit 967,741 more time. That's once a day for the next 2651 years. Happy Friday everyone!!! independent.co.uk/life-style/foo…

This was a fun project to work on. I'm really pleased with how the album turned out in the end. It's still essentially a sound design album, but with Chill hop beats, deep basslines and even shades of Trip Hop. Im looking forward to seeing what syncs we get from this!

Another worrying sign for the music industry. A radio stations that just plays hits from the 70s, 80s and 90s is now out performing Radio 1. Has interest in new music hit an all time low?..... standard.co.uk/news/uk/simon-…

New episodes in the pipeline!!! I'm currently on assignment creating content for episodes of the travelgoalspodcast, whilst administrating the ClearWaveMusic back catalogue. In ep 24, I'll be looking at modern music packages and asking...when did it get so easy to make music?

We've had a great response to our output in the last 18 months. CWM0140 - SUMMER GUITAR MOODS has done particularly well. It's a great album for uplifting daytime TV content! Great work from everyone at BMG Production Music And ClearWaveMusic

Summer is here & so is our latest album! Mixing Classical themes with crazy beats, CLASSIC MASH-UPS VOL. 2 is even wilder than its predecessor! Clear Wave Music is available via the BMG Production Music websites. BMG Production Music BMG Production Music BMG Production Music BMG Production Music BMGPMBNX BMG Production Music

A track I wrote last year picked up a sync on #SinglesInferno People have heard it on the show and started adding it to fan curated playlists. Now is the time for all the social media gurus to jump. What should I do next.... open.spotify.com/playlist/1uJTS…
