Relating to Fans Means Helping Them Relate to Each Other
Here, for your reading pleasure, is a PDF of the talk I gave at MIDEMNet last week titled Making The Most of Online Music Fandom. Bruce at Hypebot, one of the excellent people I met there, was kind enough to do a near-instant writeup.

Uncensored Interview, May 27, 2008:
Great blog + tips for the indie music community!! If you get a chance, I think you'd really like some of the interviews with conduct with "indie" artists of all genres. One question we ask all of them is "How do you define indie?' ... there are rather interesting results. You can check the site out athttp://www.uncensoredinterview.com
Thanks!

One more thing! the post-it note was actually a serendipitous discovery. They where trying to design a super strong adhesive, but instead discovered an incredibly week one ( i would like to thank wikipedia for providing this information).

My least favourite words would then be: "Ultra", "conservative", "right" and "wing"... all crap words, especially if you put them in the same sentence. You have my full understanding on this issue... I have a new name for them too: FUCKHEADS! ( It has a nicer and more accurate ring to it me thinks).
Also, I'm always up for a little interview = No problem mam, i'm humbly at your service.

I would just like to say thanks for all the kind words. You make us very, very happy ( do you guys put ","s between repeated words by the way? we do) Is kansas a happy place? ( Thats my way of asking if you are happy. Because that's what I want you to be) Whats your favorite english word? mine: Ubiquitous, or perhaps pompadour (but that one is borrowed from the French right? So I reckon it doesn't count)... or just "cake" for the meaning of it... yummy. manymany questions/ Rickard of wheels Ps I do take a lot of pride in messing up your language. I believe I just used up the entire budget of parethesis signs for this year... happy hats!
