I'm lucky enough to be interning at a refreshingly technologically forward-thinking recording studio; Broken Wave Music. Broken Wave is striving to package itself as everything an artist needs all under one roof -- artist branding, image, web design and creation, merchandising, and artist development -- that in addition to being a world class recording facility with multi-Grammy winning producers on staff. In fact, as I typed those words, Warren Riker, who has three Grammy's to his credit just walked in the door and mumbled something in my direction. It was probably something awesome.
One of the more interesting projects that they have come up with is what they are calling Music Mondays (or #musicmonday to the Twitter savvy). Basically it works like this, you follow the key members on your Twitter account (and if you don't have one its time to make one -- get with it, man), you suggest new music, and they share it with the community of people following them. It's kind of like a giant free-form radio station, where there is not an individual DJ, but hundreds of well-informed DJ's.
At the very least, its a great way to spend a boring Monday at work. At the most, it is a very innovative idea that could possibly have some legs: last week, the first week they tried this, #musicmonday was the #8 trended Twitter query of the day. Today? It's currently the #2 trended term in the country...
Here's what you do, according to our Broken Wave Music website:
1. Follow @osandisays @ghettosavant @itshollis @killola & @brokenwavemusic on Twitter (in-return they follow you)
2. Every Monday suggest great new music on Twitter by adding #musicmonday to your post followed by a link to last.fm, youtube, iLike etc.
3. Enjoy the benefits of dope-ass music with new friends all Monday long.
4. Spread #musicmonday like wild fire!
I'll be participating in #musicmonday today throughout the day, so check back here for my new Twitter scroll, in the right hand column -- or participate in the fun yourself. As for myself, I'll be posting the following new song from Austin band, White Denim as soon as I finish this post.
