MUSIC INDUSTRY BLOG

Just discovered a quirky new site for music and music video discovery called YouMusic.  Under the strapline, Make Music?  Find Fans!  Love Music? Find Talent!, the site crowd sources its content from artists and allows music consumers to rate what they hear and see.  There’s a music chart, gig schedule, contest and other community and artist opportunity bells and whistles.  I wonder how much the YouMusic.com domain is worth?

EMI began sending out invitations for EMI.com subscribers last Friday to try an extension of the label’s website at YourSoundCheck.com.  The platform, which I have not yet been able to preview for some reason, acts as a crowd sourced research initiative for EMI to learn about its consumers’ musical opinions and desires.  More on this if and when I gain access.
