Music Monday: Oh, it’s Carnival Time!

Andy Kutcher — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 16:00:03 +0000

If you're not in NOLA, you likely don't understand what all the Mardi Gras Hubbub is about. We shared this playlist last week but think it's still worth a listen. So, if you can't be in New Orleans today celebrating Lundi Gras or tomorrow to enjoy the Fat Tuesday festivities, why not pretend? Go ahead....take a listen.

I think New Orleans had a grasp of social media way before the Internet came around.

Thinking of buying a promoted tweet? Great. But, first, take a lesson in keywords to ensure you don't end up in the wrong stream like #SideChickVdayGift or #EpicFail.

Music Monday: M.I.A., Madonna and More

Andy Kutcher — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:35:18 +0000

I think it's safe to say that some of the inspiration for this week's playlist comes from last night's Super Bowl Halftime show and the season premier of The Voice. We've got songs from Madonna, M.I.A., Maroon 5 and Cee Lo Green, just to name a few. If your Mondays are anything like ours, you're going to want to take a listen...
