Getcha Info! interviews Mr. Hype
Getcha Info! is a new blog devoted to digital music. Getcha Info promises to deliver a different take on the digital music world, with a focus on (and I'm quoting here):
- Revolutionaries (and Evolutionaries): I’m going to try to do at least 1 interview every couple of weeks with an individual who is shaking up or refining the digital music landscape.
- Wholesomeness: I’m going to pay attention to intentions. Music attracts many folks who have noble intentions of spreading art, enjoyment, and self expression. I’ll try to focus on their voices.
- Respect: It’s easy to get caught up in demonizing the other side in a debate. Digital music discussions can quickly spin into to heated debates where one side becomes law breaking pirates and the other side becomes backwards evil corporations. Most of the people I’ve met at labels and on the tech side are music lovers doing a job they hope has a positive impact. I’ll try to find common ground without being too much of an idealist.
- Business perspective: Like it or not, it takes money to run these businesses. I’ll always try to allocate a couple of moments to the business behind the concepts for the artist, the founders, the investors and/or the labels.
Getcha Info! has just published its first interview with Anthony Volodkin, the creator of the Hype Machine. Check it out, it is a good read!
