OK, that's it. Every fucking time this smug prick posts something, you know it's going to be an absolute long-winded pile of unreadable crap that he obviously thinks is extremely clever. Here's the latest. WTF is his point?

I don't see a lot of discussion on how artists are getting more eyeballs from appearing on other people's program features, and this is an interesting sub-venue for me. Radio shows, f'rinstance, seem to have taken the YouTube bandwagon.
Example: NPR has this online feature, the "Tiny Desk Concert". It's a clever way of creating content that gives their web visitors something fresh to enjoy, from artists they already know and love. Artist sits down on a live show, maybe brings a guitar and a dude with a Casio, sings a track. Same artist goes into the next room, where there's a makeshift studio setting, well-lit and wired, and they do a 20-minute set, instand event. Post-produce it, upload it, promote it, bam! "NPR's got 'em a teevee show, yo!" Recently saw Blue Man Group on one; neat way to play-up their characters ("Uhhh, is that mic on...?"... *doink!*-*doink!*-*doink!*, *budda-budda-budda*..."Oh, THERE they are-!").
Sydney, Australia's Triple-J network on their ABC, has a great morning show guest slot called, "Like A Version", where a guest comes in and sings a well-known cover. Great cross-promotion, now I have a fresh performance to add to whatever artist collection I already have ripped.
Not just radio is in on this. Vevo relases sets under their, "dscvr" banner. Some company in London (an ad agency? Promotion company?) called Mahogony Creative has loaded a lot of new-artist, "unplugged" performances up there, and of course they sound great. AOL's been doing it for years. CBS TV's Saturday Morning block. Various independant recording studios, working with an artist directly.
Some are even "benchmarking" themselves, posting already-released music under their own brand, maybe make themselves a playa. I've heard a lot of artists I gravitate to, for instance, under the name, "Mr Suicide Sheep". My condolences to Mr. Sheep's family, I hope the mutton was tasty. But, what they get out of this is a mystery, unless you're a deejay, or a music promoter, or you really are a playa.
What are your favorites in this growing trend of minor media moguls?
