Social Radio

I was looking for a social radio application and I think I found it. I found Last FM on a blog recently and I believe this might be THE one I needed.
This free service allows you to create a personal radio station hosted on your blog, you can share play lists, but also play your favorite songs.

I also heard about Radio Blogs few month ago but it has some technical requirements I've not been able to answer as user of a hosting weblog solutions.
I am definitely going to test Last FM on this blog and will let you know my first thoughts. Hope it will be as easy to use and set up as it seems to be...

Is Steve Jobs playing with the cell phone industry ?

If you're interested by this question, you should have a look at Bill Palmer's last piece on Ipod Garage, he's got a terrific vision of what's happening up there...

It would seem that there just can't be a method to all this sadness regarding the iTunes phone, this Motorola / Cingular / Apple three-headed monster of a phone of whose head Apple is seemingly attached by a lone tendon. Did things go horribly wrong between Apple and Motorola behind the scenes? Has Apple been trying to make this project fail from the start? Or did Steve Jobs sit this one out and put the whole cell phone "vision thing" in the hands of the Dell Dude?

Thanks Teebo for the link.

Yahoo introduces search service for music

Yahoo is now the first search engine to offer audio search thanks to it's new Audio Search Beta service. It will let users find Web sites, news and photos of artists, as well as information about albums and songs.

Say NYT, most major music sites have agreed to send Yahoo lists of their songs and pay a commission on every song sold.

I've been testing the service, and I have to say it works quite well, I've been able to find a video of Supertramp in Paris, and the interesting thing is also that it let you choose the store you want to download your songs. More over, if you want to get different releases of the same song but by various artists, then this is the tool you need !

I will definitely use it in the futur !

Concert " LiveMusic"

J'ai assisté hier soir à un concert organisé par LiveMusic, initiative lancée par Laurent Bervas et permettant à de jeunes artistes de se produire lors de concerts "intimes", dans des petites salles chaleureuses et accueillantes.

Un très beau moyen de promouvoir des artistes de talent auxquels le circuit traditionnel ne laisse que peu de chances...

Bravo à l'équipe de LiveMusic pour leur engagement dans cette mission, et à très bientôt pour le prochain concert ! ;o)
