Sounds of Social Media: Noise or Sweet Music?

Like the sounds of this? It’s our panel submission for SWSX Interactive 2010. The other member of my panel are: @unmarketing, @thatericalper and @Kathy_Valentine. You can vote for our panel here or by clicking the little picture on the sidebar. Here goes… For decades, the music industry has been about gatekeepers and untouchable “s tars”. Today, everything is about connecting with each other and the smart few in music have realised that and embraced it. With representation from all avenues of the industry: Media, labels, management and artists, this panel will explore the current landscape of social media in music, and where they see it.

foursquare: it’s time to have “the talk”

Dear Foursquare, I’ve gotta gett his off my chest, so here it is… I’ve been having mixed feelings about our replationship recently. I’ve started feeling a bit crowded.  I need some space. I don’t want everyone knowing where I am all the time. You know how much I love you and I really  like what you do. It’s not you, it’s me.  I don’t wanna break up, I just need some space.  I want the mystery back in  our relationship.  I want things more like they used to be. We have so many great memories and you’re always bringing me closer to my friends (Twestival, Foursqaure Day, Earthquake/Superswarm, Karaoke, NXNE). I still want more of that. It’s the little things, the little checkins all the time here and there, it’s getting to be too much. I’m taking back the pants. Please no hard feelings. Remember when I made that awesome shirt for your birthday? I’ll checkin at work tomorrow.  Love you. xo CASIE

annual trinity bellwoods garage sale = great finds

The park is a hub for hipsters, style and creativity and it all rolls out of peoples closets for this sale each year. It’s my fav one to attend and I didn’t know it was on until a impromptu conversation after my lovely brekky at Niche. I picked up this awesome vintage purse from Brazil. All leather and so similar to one that Mum has (Jenie has it at the moment). I was a super hipster and grabbed a Vice mag from American Apparel on my way h0me. Got this sweet little collar and old gloves. They look so elegant! There’s a cool art installation in the park for Luminato right now. Crazy boat thingy you walk through with all these clinitygy-clangity sounds. This is a really crazy week.  It’s NXNEi, MMVA lead in to Sunday, hair appt tomo with Darren, lots of posts to write and heaps to get done. I know I can do it.  I have faith in myself. Good thing I spend so many years partying, staying up late, drinking and working hard…work hard play hard has been good training for this week. Ha! Happy Monday! Love you xo
