In his essay earlier this year Wired’s Kevin Kelly outlined his theory of 1000 True Fans. Interestingly enough 1000 is the average number of fans that invest in each successful artist/band on Sellaband, the controversial site where artists aim to raise $50,000 by selling ‘parts’ to ‘believers’.

For our next OpenMusicMedia Meet we’ll be joined by Sellaband’s Creative Director Pim Betist who’s flying into London as our special guest for what should be a very interesting converstation. Come and join in by getting down to the William IV pub next Wednesday 30th July.

For more info go to our OpenMusicMedia blog and make sure you RSVP if you want to come down.

If you weren’t lucky enough to be there for our first ever OpenMusicMedia Meet with Anthony Volodkin from HypeMachine, then here is what you can expect:

WHAT: the OpenMusicMedia Meet is a group that gets together regularly in London to discuss, explore and shape the future of digital music and media. The format is open and everyone is invited. The group serves as a meeting point for people with similar interests and open up conversations between them. Everyone is encouraged to hang around after the discussion to eat and drink. The William IV serves great food!

WHO: A melting pot of label execs, journalists, social media types, digital distributors & retailers, entrepreneurs, music geeks, bloggers and future thinkers. The group is open to anyone who has a professional or personal interest in this space.

WHERE: Upstairs at the William IV pub. Just a 5 min stroll from Old Street tube. www.williamthefourth.com

DRESS CODE: Informal. No vested interests, no politics and no agendas.

ADMISSION: An open mind, open ears and a passion for the topics discussed. There is no charge, though the more booze you buy the nicer our hosts will be. After our discussion we encourage everyone to stay and enjoy the great food at the William IV. Looking forward to seeing you all there!

After about 6 months of having my radio show on one site and a blog on another I decided it doesn’t make any sense any more. Now you can find everything here. It’s of course all Wordpress which makes it much easier for me. Hope I’m not going to un-learn the very few html skills I have now.

What’s important to know is that if you want to listen to my show you find the link on the right. Other than that: have fun.

Below my latest playlist, you can listen to it here.
