THE FUTURE OF HD RADIO AND HD+ MUSIC

If you want to know the future of HD+ and HD Radio I suggest you read the article listed below by going to this link

http://generationindie.wordpress.com/



What would you say if I told you that analog radios will soon occupy space at the Smithsonian Museum? Radio’s on the brink of a renaissance. Think about it… there are 1,800 broadcast stations and 900 more local FM HD2 & HD3 stations on the way, some are already here. What’s going to occupy all of that air space? Is there enough programming to fill up the time or are we going to hear rebroadcasts of shows aired earlier in the day? Music lovers instantly warm up to the idea of static-free radio and don’t mind making the transition to a new HD format, unlike the feet dragging that’s going on in TV.

Satellite radio gave us an appetite for more interesting programming and fewer commercials. It’s sweet to drive from city to city and never have to change stations. But, HD radio doesn’t require a subscription. It’s sexy, it’s edgy and it’s here. Yes, you’ll need to buy a new radio and yes, it’ll cost you about $500 to buy your Sonic ES2 radio. I suggest you start saving or sell your dining room set … you don’t really eat in there do you? This is not an advertisement for Sonic ES2 radios, it’s just a very cool bundled set of options that happens to be a crescent shaped iPod dock, alarm clock, power bass, iTunes tagging, AM, FM and HD radio. What if you just heard a song on the radio you really like? No prob, just push a button and tag it. Then you can buy it through iTunes in just a couple of button pushing minutes. How cool is that?

So why should Indie Musicians care about all this? Think. Think really hard. Think about a commercial, non subscription radio station looking for programming. Think about an Indie Top 40. Think about a whole station devoted to experimental, alternative, prog rock 24/7. Think about a talk show on AM radio that has the quality of an analog FM station. Think about the number of local stations that are going to need content and need it soon. Are you ready for this? Is your music mastered in HD+? There’s still a window of opportunity to re-think production and sound quality. HD radio will be able to pick up those little nuances in your music, so it needs to be tight and flawless. Otherwise, music fans will start a blog about all the flaws and start dissing bands that don’t sound as good as they do on analog.

Now for the postal part. In the very near future, Indie Artists with vision, skill and business saavy will be on the forefront of the music scene. The music scene will literally explode by the addition of choice – a Declaration of Independence for Indies. Over 2 million independent artists are chomping at the bit to find a home for their music and HD radio may be the next frontier. HD ushers in the future and the future is now. We know major labels are losing market share every day because of their business model. Major labels are not bad businesses; it’s just that their size is not change friendly. In all fairness, their overhead is huge. Flip the coin and suddenly it’s an Indie’s world, because you have one great advantage – you can turn on a dime.

Now is the time for Indie Musicians to assemble a virtual dream team. You’ll need someone to remaster your current catalog, you’ll need promotion, marketing, press releases and advertising to let the radio people know you have content HD ready. You’ll need to join a forum to get ideas about mixing and production in an HD world, if you’re a do-it-yourselfer. If you’re not, you may need to find a producer familiar with HD and the possibilities you now have at your fingertips. You’ll want to be attractive to those hungry ears that look for little nuggets in every track.

So here we go. Give away 100 free HD+ downloads. Get people jazzed. Have your fans call in to local HD stations and start asking for your music. The fan has one track in their pocket and if it’s well produced, they will let other people know about it. Make sure you’re using a service that keeps track of the IP and the number of downloads so that when the max is reached you can auto respond with a message that sets up a sense of urgency when the fan gets email from you. They won’t want miss a chance for a free download again. Consistent urgency is a good way to put you on the must open email list.

There are plenty of people waiting to help you further your music career and some are open to flexible pricing and are very reasonably priced. Here are vendors you may want to reach out to as your assemble your dream team:

Press Release- THE BUDDY IVORY BAND RELEASES MUCH-ANTICIPATED DEBUT CD

PRESS RELEASE

For immediate release:
BALTIMORE, MD — Buddy Ivory is proud to announce the potent, soul-shaking release of the debut CD, Rough Cut. The band expertly lays down grooves that are tastier than an all-you-can-eat buffet. Their songs, a kaleidoscope of rock, country, funk and rhythm and blues, say more with less – they ditch the pitch, and get right down to the sale. The band strongly believes that seriousness has no place in music, and this is evident in their songs. “Music should be fun. We feel that life is far too short to sweat the little things, and the passion of our music reflects the enjoyment and fulfillment we derive from it.”
Fun is the mortar that firmly holds the 9-song Rough Cut together, from the smooth groove of “Shadow Play” to the B-3 flavored funk of “Nothin’ But a Thang.” Accompanying Buddy Ivory are other high caliber musicians Bob Shade and Steve Parezo on drums, Dan Burbine on keyboards, and Spencer Leckliter on bass.
With the pending release of Rough Cut, the band has landed a knockout punch in their battle to recruit fans nationwide. No one is immune to their highly contagious songs, which are skillfully penned and expressively played. Or, as the band would say, “Our music is a cross between traditional R&B, rock and roll, country, and down-home soul. It MUST have a beat, and get you off your seat!”

ALL SPICE CAFE

A true Foodie at heart, JD started making his own hot sauce more than 25 years ago for his grilled chicken wings (what is today known as his Cayenne Habanero Sauce). Other variations evolved and friends eventually convinced him to bottle and sell his sauces. Entering his first competition in the fall of 2006 led to winning two Scovie Awards - 1st place for Caribbean Spice and 3rd place for Cayenne Habanero.

JD has spent most of his life living in upstate NY and grew up in a house with a Mom who loves to cook, so he's always felt at home in the kitchen. Back around 1980 there weren't many sauces to choose from so he started out making his own. People on he east coast didn't know much about habaneros until they started becoming popular in the late 80's. With a high tolerance for heat and a love of all things spicy, habanero made it into the wing sauce and the recipe has been the same ever since. It's easy to make a sauce that is hotter than hot but flavor is where it's really at.

Spending a lot of time on the road, JD has become a big fan of ethnic foods. Indian, Thai, Caribbean, the list goes on and on. Introduced to Chipotle in sunny California has led to the Chipotle Garlic Sauce and a love of many spices has led to Caribbean Spice Sauce.

Many people wonder where the All Spice Cafe is located? It started as a dream to own a cafe one day and being a big fan of different spices and heat JD came up with the name All Spice Cafe where spice is more about the flavor than the heat. Soon to become a virtual cafe with the hope of one day turning it into the real deal!

JD is a Certified Kansas City BBQ Judge and a Grillmaster at Two Guys Grilling.

Simplified and O.A.R

“NASCAR Rev’d Up,” a six-hour event highlighted by a concert with Everfine/Atlantic recording group O.A.R., will kick off activities for NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race week in Charlotte, N.C. The event, which is free to the public, will take place Wed., May 13 between 3rd and Mint Streets in uptown Charlotte from 4-10 p.m.

This year, the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race is being held for the 25th time. “NASCAR Rev’d Up” marks the first time that the all-star race week will open with a concert.

A major fan event, “NASCAR Rev’d Up” features a program filled with driver appearances, show cars and interactive displays, culminated by the O.A.R. concert. Performing as special guests will be Charlotte band Simplified.

O.A.R., who performed at last year’s NASCAR Nationwide Series Awards Banquet, released their sixth studio album, All Sides, last summer, which garnered them their highest debut to date when it landed at No. 13 on the Billboard 200. Last week the band celebrated another career milestone when their single “Shattered” was certified Platinum by the RIAA. The band recently released their secondsingle from All Sides entitled “This Town,” which is already in the Top 20 at Hot AC radio. “This Town” is currently featured in a NASCAR Image campaign spot that was filmed during last fall’s NASCAR racing weekend at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

CUP: 2008 All-Star Highlights

“We can’t wait to be a part of this event and perform in uptown Charlotte,” said Marc Roberge, lead singer of O.A.R. “We are all fans of NASCAR and have had the chance to get to know some of the drivers, so I have a feeling this is going to be a great time.”
SPEED™ will broadcast its show “Countdown to All-Star” beginning at 8 p.m. (ET) on May 13 from the concert venue, with guest appearances from several NASCAR Sprint Cup Series drivers. “NASCAR Rev’d Up” leads off a four-day period heading into the 25th running of the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race, set for Sat. May 16 at 7 p.m. at Lowe’s Motor Speedway, broadcast live and exclusive on SPEED.

Elite Fitness is locally owned and operated by me – Darlene Malecki. We are not your typical "corporate facility", which is usually owned by a larger corporation interested only in the bottom line. I personally believe that our members are the most important asset to the gym. A club can have state of the art equipment, the best weights and the most trainers, but if the member experience is not satisfying, all of the rest is meaningless. We do not want to be that club, which has so many members you become a number.
Elite is a No Nonsense - No Crowds - No Fluff - Just Gym kind of place. I believe we have something to offer each individual. Elite welcomes everyone, no matter where you are on your fitness journey.

At Elite we are striving to “Raise the Bar in Serious Fitness!”
