The True Miracles

That exist are the ones in our mind, body, and spirit. It is the miracle of our will to carry out the actions to manifest our desires and pleasure.

Modern miracles are shown with the feats of yoga practioners, shaolin monks and the acts of unselfish heroism.

Miracles are the healing from terminal illness, persevering against all odds and believing in nothing but your own faith when hope seems futile.

Fashion Tricks: One Way to Look Thinner

Kate Winslet in a flattering Stella McCartney dress at the Venice Film Festival.

Could it really be so simple to look thinner as simply having a well-placed block of color? Well….yes. Especially in Kate Winslet's case.

The glam star showed off her curves in a color blocked Stella McCartney dress at the Venice film festival. With a white paneled front and black back it gave the illusion of whittling down Kate's waist to an extreme hourglass proportion. Pretty nifty, huh?

You can get the same effect by choosing View Source

Creating a Strong Fan-base Through Deeper Connections

Connect deeply with your fans to create undying vampire like loyalty

You have tons of fans that follow you in your network. However they are all different. Some are merely passerby's while some are really die hard fanatical fans. These become the two poles that most fans will exist in your spectrum of "fanlight."

Though you may have a minuscule amount of truly fanatical fans, this is where your attention should be focused most of the time. These are the one who will brag about you, ask for free stuff to show off to their friends, buy your music and merchandise.

The fanatical fan goes way past than just buying your music. They are into you, your image, your message, your beliefs and are a true supporting member of your core fan-base that echoes you endlessly.

When you connect more deeply with your fans, the more fanatical they become and the more money you will make in the long run.

One great way to develop deepness and create fanaticism is to create a newsletter. This allows you to go beyond the music itself by exploring inspirations of your songs, your philosophy and foundations of your music. This also gives you a chance to go off the topic and discuss things outside of the scope of music that interest you and may interest them. It gives them a chance to know more of the real person behind the music. You can share practice tips since most of them may inspire to be like you(like guitar licks are chord progressions). You can give insight to your rehearsals and preparations for shows that help to not only publicize but build intensity for your up coming events.

A vlog or podcast is another way to deeper the connection. Through this you can give them more emotional content of your shows, rehearsals, moments of songwriting inspiration, community service events, your thoughts and accomplishments. You can upload these to YouTube and then embed them on your Facebook page with a privacy only for those who show an interest of being a Fanatical fan or have proof of a song they downloaded in the iPod made a sign for your band or did some other crazy stunt online to show their love. This technique is great for when you are on tour as well.

Show who you are outside of the music. One great thing that Kanye West does is to take action and voice his opinion regardless of the event or nature of topic. He criticized former President Bush on Live T.V. for his lethargic actions regarding hurricane Katrina and he even went downtown New York to show his support for Occupy Wall Street.

Showing who you are and what you stand for helps to strengthen that bond and create fanatical fans who show that you stand up for them, their beliefs or someone close to them. Who knows what family members were affected by Katrina or the OWS protest

Give your fans an identity. This has been a underrated way to build fanaticism, but can lead to great merchandising and cult like effect with your fans. Lady Gaga calls her fans "Little Monsters", as did the Grateful Dead call the fans "Dead Heads". Even StarTrek fans are known as Trekkies. Hopefully by now you get the point. We know how the fans are in these arenas and they are die hard forever long term supporting fans. The fanatical fan that fits into this pocket are the ones that will buy every ticket, t shirt and song that you ever release.

Have you tried any of these approaches? What are your thoughts and how do you plan to make them a part of you and your music. Leave comments below!

Fucking Your Pets Increases Genital Cancer

A new study shows that screwing animals with will lead to penis cancer. NO!!!!!! YOU DON'T SAYYYYYY!! Well it figures if you go against the natural existence and acts of nature and ways of god then you will be dealt with accordingly and plagued with disease. I would like to know (honestly i don't want to know) who did they find for these studies to come up with the statistics, and who the hell wanted to know about this shit anyway. Was this really something an academic wanted to pursue for social awareness? Well hopefully this study would put a damper on those torturing little kittens, dogs and farm animals. These days i am pretty sure technology has caught up were there is a significant amount of toys in the adult market that help protect the animals from sicko humans. As for protecting yourself, hey guys throw on a knapsack, head over to your local college campus and grab a handful of condoms...they are usually giving them out by the shitloads!

~Sooka~

If You Have To Defile Poor Kittens, At Least Wrap It Up

For some people, there's a very fine line between man's best friend ... and man's best friend with benefits. According to a new study that shows risk for penis cancer goes up when you have sex with animals, perhaps you should draw that line a little more clearly.

A new study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine has found that men who have sex with their barnyard buddies have TWICE the chance of developing penile cancer than men who stick to humans.

Eddie Murphy Fucks Hollywood and The Oscars

It is really time for the sensitive shit to stop. I think we have come a long way and we are nearing on 2012. Comedic references to certain demographics have been the butt of many a jokes for years. Our culture as a hold should no longer be hung up on such references of race and gender. Come on now people, maybe we all need to watch a little more South Park or Family Guy to laugh this shit off. Are we not all tired of sensitive whining people taking to the news because they got offended at some dam remark or rant.

Decades ago it seems that the public was more tolerable. Are you telling me that in this day and age comedians like Andrew Dice Clay, Richard Prior or any of those vulgar mouth personalities are going to get thrown under the bus for being "real". What the hell happen?

It seems that there is a big stink about Eddie Murphy career being affected because he stepped down from hosting the Oscars. Way to go Eddie!! You got big black balls not to give a shit about what the industry thinks because you are loved, made your mark in history and is one of the most successful comedians of all times.(but also did you not have some situation long ago with a transvestite hooker?) Obviously after 25 years in the game and millions of dollars later, who gives a shit. Eddie is pushing 50 years old now. Do you think he really needs the money, publicity or opportunity with the bleeping Oscars. I am sure Eddie will be happy raising his family and playing guitar everyday then having to deal with the nonsense.

Hello Hollywood get over it. He is too damn successful to be worrying about a career nosedive at this point. Obviously Eddie ain't scurd! Bret Ratner, the producer of the Oscars who stepped down also produced the latest Murphy/Stiller flick Tower Heist. He got the heat for saying "rehearsals are for fags". Aren't fags cigarettes? WTF!!! Seriously now. I have not gotten any word from the community if that is offensive or not, but it does not seem to far off from queen. Excuse my ignorance, I do not mean to offend anyone unless they are offended by it. Needles to say if you are in the industry you will be working with plenty of people who push the limits of their natural born gender. Gay marriage is accepted in many states, many are out of the closet, it is a new day and people need to stop being so sensitive. Everyone can take a dick, but no one can take a joke!!! Go figure!

Eddie and Ratner Quits Oscars

Eddie speaks on the original concept for Twoer Heist which was to be an all black cast with Dave Chappell, Chris Rock, Omar Eps, Tracie Morgan(before he quits Oscars)

Dakota Fanning 'Sexually Provocative' Ad for Marc Jacobs' Fragrance Banned in Britain

Dakota Fanning The 17-year-old "Twilight" star appears in the designer's sexually suggestive ads for Oh, Lola!, a fragrance aimed at a younger consumer.

Honestly If I must say so, it does not look all that bad and the Brits are creating drama outta nada. It is not like she is gyrating on the bottle topless or anything. Besides times have changed and Miley Cyrus did worse things at her age like gyrating on a 40 year old man,..but that is another blog post.

~Sooka~

Designer Marc Jacob's has a lovely fragrance line called Lola. And he recently launched a younger version of the scent called Oh, Lola!

But maybe he should have called it Oh, Lolita. TheTelegraph reports that the British Advertising Standards Authority was horrified after having received several complaints about an ad for the scent showing Twilight starDakota Fanning, 17, wearing a View Source

3 Tips Indie Music Marketers Can Learn From Corporate

Below is a great article I came across that puts indie music marketing in a perspective for artist. It is very easy to get thinned out online. I hope this helps on your way too gaining more exposure.

-Sooka

Social Media SoCon2011 took place in late October in London with a focus on "Brand Journeys In Social Media". Though primarily about corporate marketing, WMG's Ritch Sibthorpe and Last.fm's Mathew Hawn shared some insights that are also applicable to indie artists.

Their points help amplify a number of perspectives shared previously at Hypebot as mentioned below. The Music Void's Laura GrivainisThorne gives an overview of SoCon2011 noting that attendees from the music industry were largely absent though both Ritch Sibthorpe, VP Digital Marketing & Content Partnerships, Warner Music Group and Matthew Hawn, VP of Product, Last.fm gave presentations. Sibthorpe's talk covered a number of topics with mobile being of particular importance.

In discussing 5 myth of digital marketing, he included: The myth that "Everyone needs a mobile app." SoCon2011's video archives provide Mr. Sibthorpe's presentation where he elaborates that the initial rush to build mobile apps is over and that they are now part of a complex mix. For example, he points out that "social is mobile", which could mean a variety of things including the fact that social networks are increasingly accessed via mobile devices. As previously noted at Hypebot, there are multiple mobile channels that artists can exploit without requiring a mobile app.

Mathew Hawn made the point, to which many can relate, that one should: "Be on the social networks, but don't build your house there." Given the recent changes at Facebook resulting in decreased engagement for artists with less than 1000 fans, it's not hard to understand why I advocate that artists should be masters of their own domain.

According to Vartika Verma, Hawn also maintained that you should: "Translate your online strategies into offline events." Though Ms. Verma focused on the multichannel marketing aspect of that advice, one could also point to Turntable.fm's increasing involvement with live events, including being an opening act for Wale, and to artists who organize special events for social media fans and friends.

While it's easy to get the feeling that digital marketing advice is all over the place, we seem to be reaching the point that consistent themes are emerging. Identifying those themes will certainly aid any artist in moving forward successfully as long as it doesn't become an exercise in seeking perspectives based on whether or not they fit one's predetermined beliefs. Hypebot contributor Clyde Smith maintains his freelance writing hub at Flux Research and blogs at All World Dance and This Business of Blogging. To suggest topics for Hypebot, contact: clyde(at)fluxresearch(dot)com.

How To Sell Music Online

To sell music online it is not necessary for an artist to be signed to a major label or be discovered by one. Music labels are looking for something at the time which is usually based on current trends. The process may take place with a scout or an intern which I have done and will present an A&R with a demo after viewing a live show. Now before the A&R heads to the show they will do a little homework about the potential artist. If he likes what he sees, he takes this project back to his department and staff for approval and to sign the artist when all agree.

To make money with music you need first you must look at a Major Record Label like a Big corporate bank or loan shark. They are corporate minded and corporate driven. It is not like the days of Motown, when talent was hard to find and a real potential artist or song was a diamond in the rough. They would put all their money and heart into developing an artist maybe even mortgaging the house. These days, record labels want to see that you are money drawing potential. Better yet they want to know that you are already making money selling cd's or selling tickets to shows. They want to see a potential business partner already in action. This is the way Rocafella records or Cash Money Millionaires started. They were already a working team unit hustling hard making money long before they caught interest from a label.

Record companies want to tap into potential businesses. If signed they may advance you and give yo a budget to record an album or cover your overhead. But this is not free money. You will pay this back out of your royalties. It is very possible to go platinum and still owe the record company money after costs for for music video, promotion and marketing, buybacks and freebies, recording cost and advances are recouped. On the other hand if you are an independent label working out of your garage or basement selling only 10,000 cd' that is is $100,000 in your pocket. Not bad and not hard to do and you can now quit your day job cause you are making more than your average doctor or lawyer for doing something you love.

In order to sell songs online exposure is still rule #1

When deciding to sell music online you must still maintain and off line approach of getting exposure. You must still be out there getting your music heard by sewing up your home town. These are the people who know you and are closely familiar with you. Classmates, church members and community organizations and activities are the way to start building your fan base. Become a hometown hero first to look for your major support then branch out from there. Enter as many contest, talent shows and parties that you could to hone your craft. If you can not do this, then do not think you will have it all of a sudden when you step on stage at Madison Square Garden because it won't happen. You must video tape yourself and see how you look on stage to fix your performance and compare your show to what you see on real live performances of major artist with charisma. Overcoming the fears early is a major step toward your career path. Attend open mics, jam sessions and wherever you can find the opportunity to be heard and there you will find the first people to sell music to.

Establish a following to sell music to rule #2

In order to sell music getting fans on your own is the most important. Major record companies pick artist and musicians who already establish a following. This does not just mean having a MySpace with 20,000 friends but having true fans. These are the ones who support you, comment on your music and big you up by talking about you and spreading the word. Word of mouth is still the best form of viral promotion. Create or do something that gets people talking. In hip hop this is usually done with dis records before things started getting into a violent nature. You can establish an understanding between another camp and do this back and forth with no harm intended and keep it on wax. 50 cent did this in one of his early records dissing everyone in the industry. Set up parties do an open mic, collaborate with a non profit and start to build an email list of potential fans to let know what is going on with your music or if you are in the studio, having a performance or just need an ear to test out what tracks you are putting on an album to sell music online. Like Rakim said, "...put it on tape and in the city I test it, then on the radio the R's requested.."

Give away freebies in order to sell songs online #3

To sell music even the major record companies give away thousands of CD in order to sell millions. I was once working on a Christmas project in which they needed original holiday songs to be played all over the nation in K-Mart. There was a young talented songwriter of jazz music who I had a relationship with. I ask him to forward me the cd so I can submit it to some decision makers to get him exposure nationally and money in his pocket. The kid sent me a download link and told me to buy it. Developing relationships cost time and money. I would not be making any money on this project cause I believed in the kid's talent and wanted to help him out. It would already cost me money to forward the cd over to the decision makers and now I would have to come out of pocket to help this kid by buying his music. I actually tried to purchase it and had to go through a time consuming process of registering with the site in order to make it happen, it was a waste and time is money. Needless to say he was axed immediately from any further consideration and probably missed his big break.

Get to know how sell music online if you wish to get recognized by a label. You must immediately start to think and treat yourself with discipline like a label or business. You must be out there performing to be seen, work your craft and lay down the foundation to build a fan base, sell tickets or sell music. Just because a record label signs you does not mean fans magically appear. They will never do this. People are grinding for years before you ever see them in the spotlight.
