New! Brian Eno & David Byrne - Poor Boy -Track 10 Released 08.18.08

Back


'Poor Boy' plays after the intro INFO from the Topspin website: http://topspinmedia.com Aug 18, 2008 - 1:03 AM David Byrne and Brian Eno Release Everything That Happens Will Happen Today On The Topspin Platform. To say we were excited at the prospect of helping David Byrne and Brian Eno release their new album would be an understatement. Not only are we huge fans of their recorded output both together and apart, but their previous collaboration under the same moniker, the pre-sampling cut/paste masterpiece My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts was one of the inspirations Topspin co-founder/chairman Peter Gotcher drew upon when creating ProTools with his team at Digidesign. Having the opportunity to help Byrne and Eno release their album direct to fans on Topspin's platform was too fateful an opportunity to pass up. We jumped, to say the least. So it's with great pleasure I present to you the new album by David Byrne and Brian Eno, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today. Feel free to click the Embed/Share button and add the album to your blog or Web site. If you'd like to own the album for playback on your iPod, CD, or in a collectible boxed set, buy the album direct from http://EverythingThatHappens.com. All three purchase options will give you the digital album immediately (FLAC options are at the bottom of the order page), and two include a nice package which will get shipped to you. These facts: David Byrne and Brian Eno have a new record. It's not just one of the best things they've done since Bush of Ghosts but among the best recordings they've made together or apart in their careers You can listen to the album in its entirety, for free, and embed it anywhere on the Internet You can buy it direct from http://EverythingThatHappens.com in three different packages ...are the most important news in this post. I encourage you to stop reading this post now and spend the rest of the day if not the month with the album. I'll tell you from experience it's the kind of record you'll find yourself wanting to listen to again and again, songs echoing in your head drawing you back for another listen. You know the kind, and you know they don't come around often enough. Enjoy. But if you're one of the curious who is still asking, "Wait, so what does Topspin do again?" I'll take this opportunity to reiterate our mission, tell you a bit about how our software is working with this Byrne/Eno project, and foreshadow what you might see from us the rest of the year. Topspin basics: we're a startup, just over a year old, offices in Santa Monica and San Francisco (connected by a killer, cost-effective video conf setup from our friends at LifeSize), mostly software engineers, building software to help artists make money. In the same way ProTools brought software solutions to music production, we seek to apply technology solutions for music marketing. Regardless of your opinion of the future of the music industry, I think we all agree the old way is not the new way and one "new way" hasn't materialized yet. We know the cost of music production has fallen, the cost of distribution has fallen, and marketing is no longer concentrated in radio and MTV but has instead spread to places like Pitchfork and Brooklyn Vegan (or iPod commercials and Grey's Anatomy). And I don't think it's controversial to say software will play a role in the future of music marketing. Artists, managers, and labels alike will use some sort of software to help them manage direct relationships with fans, find new listeners, measure the success of their business, pay licenses and royalties, etc. Topspin builds marketing and monetization software platforms for the new music business. Specifically, we're building three products, two of which are still under-wraps. Currently you're seeing what I would call version 0.7 (not yet 1.0) of the first of those three, Topspin Manager. Topspin Manager helps you directly market to your existing fan base and collect and manage fans you are gathering through other activities (such as a great write-up in the Arts section of yesterday's NYT). It ties together content management and fan management, and layers in a set of ever-improving direct and permission marketing tools, so you can keep a close relationship with your fans and give them your best, first. One complaint which surfaced after recent press about Topspin griped we talk about our feature set as if we're the first company to ever conceive of this sort of product. We are not. Companies like Echo Music, Reverb Nation, Nimbit, FanMail and others (including emerging open source solutions like CashMusic) have similar tools, crossing over with what Topspin is building in a variety of ways. That said, while they are all interesting in their own way, I don't consider any of the above a direct competitor to Topspin.
