Featured Company: rssHugger

On 11.13.09, In Blogs, Featured Companies, Internet, Media, By JDQ

rsshuggerCreated by Collin LaHay, who was inspired to do so by ShoeMoney.com’s “13,000 RSS Contest” , rssHugger “aims to bring bloggers and readers together. rssHugger aims to provide blog owners with a unique easy-to-use way to promote their blogs by sending them traffic, building backlinks for search engine optimization, as well as attracting new rss subscribers if the content is interesting to the reader. rssHugger aims to help visitors be able to easily find blogs that write about subjects they are interested in.” Though I have just registered my blog with rssHugger, and thus cannot comment extensively on my experience with it, my first impressions of the site is that it is professionally stylish, easy to navigate, straight-to-the-point informative, and currently boasts an impressive 5224 RSS feeds in its network. Pricing? Here’s the skinny straight from the site:

To get your blog listed, you must make a blog post/review about rssHugger on your blog and submit the link. All you have to do is register your blog. Your blog will not be listed until an admin manually approves of your post (FREE).

If you do not want to make a blog post/review about rssHugger for any reason, you may choose to opt out by paying a one time fee of $20 ($2 per year). You may pay via PayPal (Credit card payments accepted). ($20).

I will post about rssHugger again in the future, as I am sure I will have to gush about the increase in traffic that it has brought to my blog…

Featured Venue: Chain Reaction

On 11.04.09, In Featured Companies, Featured Shows, Featured Venues, News, By JDQ

chain reaction logoHad to feature this venue, and give a little sentimental background: I used to come here almost every weekend in high school (1996-2001) to see ska and punk rock shows with my buddies. Bands such as Jeffries Fan Club, The Hippos, Link 80, and The Pharmaceutical Bandits often played here, directing a grand and vibrant subculture of young skankers and punks towards self-knowledge, open mindedness, and of course, the pursuit of good times. The music created by the bands of this time and place could be described as viral (or perhaps enticing), and despite its sometimes “goofy” external appearance (think The Aquabats), these were very serious sounds and messages for the entire community. We (Jay Dee Queue) played here on November 5th with Motor Gun Hotel, Rodeo Drive, and The Originalites; though we played with three extremely talented bands, I regret to report that the same vibe just wasn’t in the air. Perhaps it was because we do not yet pack out the place like the so-called “third wave ska” bands do in my fancifully decorated memories. Maybe it was the fact that the same 100 t-shirts are pinned to the wall: trophies and unsold testaments to the youthful giants that we were fortunate enough to witness here. Then again, perhaps it was because almost every employee over there still seems overworked, underpaid, and jaded with the music community that they are so integral to, without any of the cotton candy positivity of the ska kids to balance out Chain’s current social equation. Anyhow, enough drivel: here’s what the show looked like!

P.S. I do hope that we, along with the many talented and hungry groups out there, can help to revitalize the many tired musical anodes (such as Chain Reation) that exist out there; I know that everyone out there that has any interest in music has that one place where they saw that one band that set them off on a personal and communal musical exploration. These subcultural foci are integral to the health of the youth, and the community as a whole. Let’s bring ‘em back!

Featured Company: Rami Dogg

On 10.15.09, In Featured Companies, Media, Retail/Vendors, Video, By JDQ

(DISCLAIMER: The audio and video you are about to witness is hilarious, and a true representation of what one may encounter on any given day in Victoria Market) Yo! This post is dedicated to my hommie, the one and only, indispensable, San Clemente representing Rami Askar, better known in these parts as Rami Dogg. Check this man out…he’s a f@#king riot, and he has the best liquor store in San Clems…You know I rep the Celtics, but this is one crazy Lakers fan that I can vibe with…

This one made it also…and speaks for itself…

P.S. I had to include this gem as well…thanks to Rami for the fun times…this should be a mandatory PSA…

To see more of such madness, and a ton of videos of Rami Dogg fighting sharks and shooting innocent animals, please visit Rami Dogg on You Tube.

“Upright Basement Music’s goal is to produce quality independent music for the public. Collaborating with musician’s working toward professional careers, UBM aims to grow as a studio and a label. UBM does not sign artists but we do promote our network. Rather than signing artists, we want them to remain independent to receive the money and recognition they deserve. We promote every act we work with to further their success in the music business. UBM works with all genres of music bringing artists more exposure by creating a network where one can find and keep up with ever changing scene of new quality independent music. UBM is assembling an active, diverse network of artists from which all affiliations are cross promoted to further everyones’ success. We feel that the perception of music and the music industry needs to be changed. Our main goal is to bring focus back to the musician and the quality of the talent. Many musicians play in multiple bands, as well as bands come and go based on success of a particular act. Because of this UBM promotes all past and present projects by musicians in our network.”

Pretty progressive approach to the music industry, huh? Hit them up!

Featured Company: Red Skin Records LTD.

On 10.18.09, In Featured Companies, Retail/Vendors, By JDQ

new rsr logoRed Skin Records, located in London, UK, is the self-described “world’s first major digital record label”. Representing artists from every corner of the planet, from a diverse range of musical genres, Red Skin allows for true artist development by offering fair-share promotion and digital distribution. From the website:

“Red Skin Records Ltd is part of Red Skin Media Entertainment Holdings Limited Group and is the world’s first major digital label. We have deliberately chosen to be a 100% digital record label because music has become widely available on digital devices. More music has been purchased through digital download sales than ever before and physical record sales are dropping. The digital download market has increased by 400% in the last year and, as a result, overall sales of music singles have increased by more than 50% in the United Kingdom alone.

Our digital platform enables us to focus our resources on marketing and promotion as we are able to save on manufacturing costs of physical product and its distribution. Among Red Skin Records Ltd arsenal of assets we have our own Studios, Producers, Radio Pluggers, Marketing staff and Bloggers. We also have our own distribution which goes a long way towards making us a one stop shop for artists.

Red Skin Records Ltd also leverages the strengths of our sibling companies such as Red Skin Media Productions Limited by having them provide our artists with music video production. Additionally we have Red Skin Music TV where we show music videos and short movies. This channel is available through the Something TV Network.”
