geobanning suxxxx (BIG time)

Fri, 30 Jul 2010 00:27:00 +0200

you know besides of blogging DJing etc I do workshop and presentations
and I teach artists how to use the Internet
I’m trying to tell them how can they get the most out of this virtual thinggy
but sometimes I think I should teach the labels

I get 3-5 promo emails weekly from bands, labels and agencies when they want me to promote something which is geobanned, so I can’t even watch it, but the best part is when they want me to post a SoundCloud player, but they don’t allow the embed fuction

hey Mr Music Biz Headz this is 2010
please wake up!
geobanning is the most arrogant and useless thing what you can do
and it results piracy, which is bad for you

the free lesson is over for today
please don’t do it or we send some nerdy IT experts over :D

Simon Iddol powered by Samsung Galaxy S

Thu, 08 Jul 2010 22:29:00 +0200

do you remember this mysterious post?
finally I can tell you what’s going on

Samsung got me involved in the campaign of their latest superphone
the mighty Android based Galaxy S

my ‘job’ is basically the same what I do every day in the last four years
to be Simon Iddol and use the Internet to entertain you
since I started this Simon Iddol thing I’m working 16-18 hours on it every day
it became my dayjob, it became my life
APC turned into an international blog network and creative community
and I became Simon Iddol for real

I’ve seen and I’m using the latest tools for my things
and a device like this is extemly useful for me
as I’ve tweeted few days ago
I got back my real life thanks to the mobile Internet

most of my daily routine is communication
with the labels, producers, agencies, artists and with my team
now obviously I can do it everywhere
but thats not the most important
I’m really excited about the Android platform and the Android community
I wanna discover it, help it and boost it
just as I did with the mashup scene

so
if you’re doing things related to Android, feel free to contact me
my main objectives are the audio and music apps of course
but also the social networking, the communication and the creative tools

I’m really flattered about this possibility
and all I can say is
wooow, dis thinggy is totally dope, let’z do stuff with it ;)
