It's official... This morning New York City officially and permanently co-named West 8th Street as Jimi Hendrix Way. 💜 The new street sign unveiled today at the corner of 6th Avenue and West 8th Street is just down the street from Jimi Hendrix's landmark Electric Lady Studios in the heart of Greenwich Village. Stay Experienced!
The BIA focuses on neighborhood businesses rather than what it is named for. It’s been like this for years, the proper Italian restaurants will be awfully busy with FIFA so I wouldn’t bother. It should be renamed.

Last call for Show #10 with songs by guest artist Church of Trees.
All the publishing and deal talk lately made me think that I should orient us on what a standard music recording contract looks like, what each section means, why labels structure it that way, and what to push back on before signing. This is what the lawyers negotiate.

This one skill has underrated importance for working in the music industry:
Being resourceful!
I've been working in the music industry for 12 years and I swear being resourceful can get you soooo far (besides being nice and treating people the way you want to be treated).
Figuring out the answer when you don't have it.
Being curious.
Asking questions.
Being the person who always figures out a way to get it done has massive dividends as opposed to the person who makes excuses.
There is always a way...and if there isn't, presenting other options as alternative solutions is the way to go.
Tuesday, not Friday. Been saying this for years! Off-cycle releases are ideal for new and developing acts. Weekday conversation generates greater word of mouth with less competition and noise. pgLang gets it.
RIP Dennis Hull, 81, “The Silver Jet” and a top notch player, he was often overshadowed by brother Bobby and was the uncle of Brett.

Looking forward to seeing @MartinGarrix tonight at RBC Amphitheatre (formerly Budweiser Stage). Last time I saw him in Vegas, so a stadium setting should be quite different than a club! #MartinGarrix#EDM
Great idea in principle, let’s see if it flies. BUT the #NDP asking for a donation after signing the petition is rather out of place given the subject of the petition #onpoli#groceriesnotaxonfood.ca/
Zayn Malik responds to TMZ’s claims that he ignored fans outside his hotel:
“Let's just get the facts straight - the fans were and always are respectful and amazing - the issue was the multiple fully grown men that were blocking the doors of the hotel and the car for 10 minutes not letting us or security out - they are not fans they are stalkers that show up where ever someone they want to meet is and do the same thing to everyone to try to get content. It is not safe and not ok and they ruin it for the real fans.”
One wonders if the solution might simply be to turn the volume down? If people can hear it far from the stadium, then the stadium crowd should have no problem at a lower volume. #rogersstadium
Seeing producers still talk about the sampling journey behind Lola’s Theme after all these years is something special ❤️
Hearing artists like @baauer speak about the record and its influence all these years later really means a lot.
