Props to Kanye West. Very creative way to release a new song. Creepy, but definitely creative.
In short, Kanye is debuting his new single “New Slave” via video projections like the one you see here. The first projection was found on the corner of Bedford and North 7th in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and there are plans to share these video projections across the globe.Kanye’s website has apparently shared a map with 65 other projections going on globally.
Outdoor advertising at it’s finest!
It’s fun watching artists come up with unique ways to announce new music.
Justin Timberlake’s video teaser (where he announces he’s “ready” and heading back to the studio, see above) does exactly what it’s supposed to do - it gets you on your feet screaming for excitement. (Now, if only the first single actually lived up to all this buzz).
French indie/electro band Phoenix also try getting a little creative and put together a music sample on their site as a teaser (along with some crazy video effects). Not as creative, but it still whets the appetite.
Lots of good music to look forward to!
Spotify Apps?
Intrigued. Curious to see how @Spotify integrates apps and how brands will take advantage http://t.co/yOKY1AbJ
Trying out Spotify’s Facebook plugin
Connected Spotify to Facebook. My music activity is broadcast on Facebook + I can disconnect when I want. Reminds me of Last.fm, just easier.
I’ve Had the Time of My Life…
The person that wrote “Time of my Life” must be making some serious money this year b/w Black Eyed Peas, Crazy Stupid Love, and now New Girl

I love how Sarah McLachlan is streaming her new album on her Facebook page a week before the release! Also love how this app allows for comments and easy sharing. Why aren’t more musicians doing this?
Irving Plaza is Irving Plaza again! Live Nation discards “Fillmore NY at Irving Plaza” name. So silly. http://nyti.ms/9zIrkF
Wow! Just received an email from Lala.com announcing that its service will shut down! Perhaps Apple is planning to incorporate streaming…
