Blogging about Music

http://www.musicbusinessblog.com/ A Music Business Blog by Jason Feinberg.

A remarkable business blog by Joseph Feinberg offering advice and commentary to fledgling artists (and anyone else) about surviving in the music world. A well labeled and categorised business blog, utilising a simple design, the site offers the opinions and web-trawled facts found by the host. It is also remarkably alive, with regular visitors offering comments on each new posting. Topics include general music business, management, marketing, opinions on artists and the emerging co-operation of the music world and the internet. Provided are links to useful resources and additional reviews and opinions from other blogs.

The host seems informed and opinionated, having had articles published for other media companies and is involved (at various levels of influence) in a number of music companies. His writing style is casual yet informative and he keeps himself busy and well-informed with news in the music business sphere.

However by the hosts own admittance, updates can be sporadic and the site's relatively simple but uninspired appearance, though clear and legible, is hardly attractive and interesting. Posts are usually well-constructed however some can consist of simply a small descriptive line and a link seemingly to keep the site updated. Despite this, the overriding professionalism of the site and continuous, useful information makes the site a trusted blog to return to. The site is well worth perusing for anyone looking to get into the music business and indeed, anyone into music at all.
