Exploring our addiction to the live music experience |
Continuing our exploration of sites, apps, tools, other cool stuf for concert fans, we’ve been experimenting with the new social media bookmarking site Pinterest. It’s a great site and we’ve posted several boards for you to enjoy. Here’s our Pinterest Live Fix collection of boards. So far we’ve created boards for concert infographics, ticket stubs, [...]
Continuing our exploration into community management I’d like to share another story with you. My view from the jury box in the Hatton W. Sumners Courtroom during the Socialmedia.org Dallas Blogwell conference made it seem like Level 3′s case study was on trial. And the good thing about this big brand social media trial was that Level [...]
Continuing our new exploration into community management and social business, I wanted to pass along info about two local events that I’ll be checking out the next couple of days. The first one is Thursday night as Social Media Club Chicago hosts a discussion about The Future of Community Management at Google’s Chicago offices. They’ll [...]
Social media and concert history were made this week as Tiesto, Twitter and HP teamed up at CES 2012 to deliver a live stream of the Dutch DJ rocking the a VIP crowd from the booth. And the event was a great opportunity to continue or live concert brand exploration. As Billboard reports, The private, [...]

Now, we’d like to share with you a very interesting story we’ve been following about singer-songwriter Daria Musk who’s been using her Google Plus page [...]
Last night we had a great time continuing our Google Plus Experiment by hosting and joining in a Hangout. And I have to say that I’m even more pumped and excited as I was before about using the social network to share concert stories and connect with you, my fellow live music fans. Steven’s [...]

We’ve shared stories about gourmet Mastodon burgers and their latest live album. And now we’d like to share with you news about how heavy metal rockers Mastodon will team up with Vans to host a special live “in studio” chat with fans as they get ready to release their new album The Hunter. We’re [...]
It’s no surprise that social media is changing how we experience live music. And after testing out a new Twitter experiment these last couple of months I thought I’d share the results with you and introduce a new weekly feature called “Tweets of the Week”. Ever since we did our podcast about concert fan emotions [...]
Continuing our exploration of Live Nation and social media, this past weekend I noticed that Live Nation asked concert fans a very interesting question on their Facebook page. And I’d like to ask you the same one too, but in a different way.
Just when I was ready to write off the historically out-of-touch and one-step-behind awards show, the Grammys have pulled me back in. And we can thank social media, mobile and several timely musical nominations for making the usually irrelevant, retrogressive and disconnected TV event more interactive, relevant and interesting than it’s ever been for fans.
