As a musician, you typically have no problem imagining how awesome your new idea is going to turn out...

It's sorta like picturing how your ex will suddenly take you back when they hear your song.

Or how a room full of 500 people will want to raise their glass high while singing your chorus the next time you play...]]></description>

<title>CAREER: 4 Music Law Myths That Indie Musicians Need to Unlearn</title>
<link>http://news.allaboutjazz.com/news.php?id=104487</link>
<description><![CDATA[By Mita Carriman Esq. (@nymusiclawyer), NYC entertainment lawyer at Carriman Law Group and band manager.

As an entertainment attorney who was once an indie artist myself involved in a few different artistic disciplines, I know that the bridge between law and art doesn't always seem straightforward. There's certainly a lot of gray area, which could lead a person to probably think that the law would be one way, when it isn't. Through my work, I've frequently encountered several myths regarding music law that I hope can eventually go away! While there are much more than 4, I found that these were especially common...]]></description>

I did something important this weekend. It was important because I'm dying. Not anytime soon, mind you, but someday I won't be here. So, because I could - because it mattered to me - this weekend I did a few things I enjoyed doing a lot. Things on my bucket list. These were all things I've never done before, and I did them with people I love and respect. I: entertained 50 people; performed original music I had created with my life partner, Stevie; opened for Amanda Palmer (@amandapalmer, yes that Amanda Palmer); and kicked off the launch of the first ever (available soon via iTunes and all your favorite channels and services)...]]></description>

Metadata. It's a jargon-y word that probably turns a lot of artists off at the mere mention of it. It's also one of the main things standing between them and a variety of new opportunities to make money. And those new opportunities are becoming increasingly important for cash-strapped musicians...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[By David Sherbow (@MusicBizGuy) of My Life With Music.

In my humble opinion, it needs to figure out how to simply curate new music, filter it down to a small enough selection that is easily digestible and readily posted some place on the Internet, seamlessly accessible by mobile phones, where people will want to come, listen to it, own it emotionally and support it financially. When this happens, and eventually it will, the music business will be forever changed...]]></description>

Blog posts can be used to announce news (album, tour, etc.), document experiences (recording, touring, etc.), or offer anecdotes from your personal life (passions outside of music, funny pets, etc.). Posts can be mostly text, mostly photos, or even video. Here's why blogging is great for engaging your fans...]]></description>
