120 – The Chicago Music Commission on the Web

Here are the links talked about in the show:

  • The Economic Impact Study commissioned by the CMC
  • The Musicians At Work Forums page
  • The Airport Music Program page, including the link to FlyChicago.com‘s Terminal Tunes [Edit:  site no longer exists] and the latest CD submission e-mail [Edit:  form no longer exists] sent to the CMC e-mail list
  • The Chicago Event Promoter Ordinance updates page
  • The CMC’s Blog page
  • ChicagoFestivals.net [Edit: site no longer has a schedule on it] showing all the Free music festivals put on by the City of Chicago in one place
  • The Chicago Area Music Business Database  [Edit: site no longer displays] with maps and the ability to submit a business for inclusion in the database
  • The Contact Us page where you can also sign up for the CMC’s e-mail list.

109 – Chicago Resources, eJAMMING AUDiiO and Indie is Dead?

Recorded 11 August 2009

In this episode of With A Voice Like This I have an exclusive release and discuss:

News You Can Use
This is my exclusive for this episode, something no one else has but me and I’m sharing it with you!

  • The Chicago Music Commission has quietly launched a new Resources page on their website. It includes links to their blog, the Musicians at Work Forum, ChicagoFestivals.net and the newest offering, a searchable database of Chicago area music businesses [Edit:  site no longer exists]. Something no one else has in the city of Chicago and I’m the first to bring it to you.

At Any Rate

  • There was a bit of an assignment with this one. eJAMMING AUDiiO is a website that offers a real time collaborative network for musicians who want to jam and record with musicians in other locations with near zero latency over the internet. I take a look at the site and read a little feedback from the Podcast Gallery on this one.
  • I discuss a post by Richard Eoin Nash titled The End of Indie. Since I had only just read it, I’m open to hearing your take on the post and talked about how my thoughts differed from those of Mr. Nash and where they were the same. Feel free to give me your thoughts on the issue.

You can give me your feedback  in any number of ways. You can write me at [email protected] and even attach an audio file (.wav or .mp3 format preferably), or call the Comments from the Podcast Gallery voicemail line at 630.492.0487 and leave your thoughts (standard calling rates apply).  Then listen to hear your thoughts on the next show.
