Blogs: Geek Rhythms, Disco D, PROMOCOPY
Rajeev Bajaj, the creator of the proengineering educational rap cd Geek Rhythms, now has a blog called My Experiments With Music. My advice to Rajeev, put your full name in some obvious places, like on your blog and on your website, and also consider some highly visible links back to your website from your blog and, oh yeah, try linking to your album from your blog in that right hand column near the top. It will help sales.

There was something about PROMOCOPY I couldn't quite get until I read this explanation:
"My goal with this blog is to create a check to what I see as some really disturbing trends in independent music promotion. I remember a time not too long ago when most indie labels I dealt with did all their promo inhouse. The rise of PR companies catering to indie labels in the last several years has been phenomenal, and lot of the people working in this sort of indie PR space are coming from very commercial environments and have brought with them some of the sell-at-any-cost ethos common to popular marketing. I'm just trying to remind people that Indie can mean something in terms of character and credibility and respect for an audience."
However, I kept checking back because it's industry related and Oliver Wang recommended it. It's mostly an indie rock thing which means you will get some of the standard rappers that indie rock consumers tend to dig cause that's the promotion P. will encounter. Plus, at least when viewed on my aging computer, there's no margin so it's kind of annoying to read.
