Can anybody explain to me what I'm suppose to be looking at? :-/ @milestougeaux @negativeneil I asked this 6
months ago. No one ever listens to me. Maybe the graphs will help.
@negativeneil How The Music Industry Has Changed bit.ly/r9MABK (Why are artists still making albums instead of selling a new single every month?)  |

Swiped from MJs John Mayer 2011 Clinic – “Manage the Temptation to Publish Yourself” "Mayer began the clinic explaining that, although the industry has changed with the advent of social media, creating music requires the same discipline it always has, if not more discipline to combat the added distraction of online promotion. Referring to the allure of having an instant, albeit often shallow and fleeting, online audience, John Mayer cautioned against seeking out “joy in little, tiny statements – little, tiny applause hits.” "But John Mayer’s main reason for discouraging promotion came from his own struggle to curb using social media, which should have been an outlet for promotion but eventually became an outlet for artistic expression. Mayer shared that he found himself asking himself questions like “Is this a good blog? Is this a good tweet? Which used to be is this a good song title? Is this a good bridge?” And possibly more alarming, Mayer realized that pouring creativity into smaller, less important, promotional outlets like twitter not only distracted him from focusing on more critical endeavors like his career, it also narrowed his mental capacity for music and writing intelligent songs." More at www.berklee-blogs.com/2011/07/john-mayer-2011-clinic-manage-the-temptation-to-publish-yourself/I would venture to say that people who have that much trouble with distractions interfering with their creativity must have an awfully narrow area in which they have actual talent. A truly creative person (Adam, Bono, etc.) is constantly living in a state of creation. They approach everything they do from a creative standpoint. When you learn to do this then wider interests should fuel your creativity not stifle it. Mayer may be a talented singer/songwriter but it sure doesn't sound like he is a truly creative being. Adam however lives his creativity and is constantly looking for ways to express it. Also, there is no reason that blog posts or twitter posts or interview soundbites should interfere with songwriting. You can go back and find some of Bono's best lyrics started out as soundbites in interviews dating 4 or 5 years before they end up in a song. |

When you click the link you should get a page that will have a button that says Premium Download and another button below it that will be counting down and will eventually say Regular Download. When that countdown has finished click the regular download button. Sometimes you will get a pop up of some ad site or game things and you just close those. Depending on how your computer is set up you might get a window asking you whether to Open or Save the file. You need to click Save. If it doesn't pop up a window then your computer may be automatically saving the file somewhere. The name of the file itself is Wickedpart2.avi so try searching your computer to see if the file downloaded. Hope this helps. ETA: The ad pop up window may be blocking the save window so close that as soon as it pops up. |

Thanks - it is working just like that for part one which is downloading successfully at the moment. I will wait til it's finished then try part 2 as gelly suggested.... |

The radio station (&DJ) that did this interview are sending an NZ gay couple to New York to get married to celebrate the marriage equality law! www.zmonline.com/WhatsOn/Competitions/Detail.aspx?id=18258Apparently when they did similar comp to Hawaii 8 years ago, they got bomb threats and hate mail!! WTF?!! In NZ?!! Hopefully things have improved since then, and won't get any negative shit this time! Polly is a huge Adam fan... she recently said he should be in the top 10 voices of all time, when he wasn't listed....said he should be top 2 or 3 at least! Here is her most recent interview with Adam: www.zmonline.com/listenlive/zmtvplayer.asp?recnumber=426(Sorry don't know how to embed stuff!) Thanks for this. Yeyyyy for the couple!!!!! I loved that woman, Polly, and her interview was great! |
