#76: 50 Years of Funk
A daily roundup of interesting links about music, culture and marketing
COOL THING:
If you’ve been thinking about live streaming a DJ set or are just curious about how it works, here’s a great diagram. This is brought to you by Minneapolis’ own DJ Mike2600. To my beloved subscribers who work in the music industry, can you share this graphic with Teddy Riley?
MARKETING THING:
Erykah Badu On The Frontier Of Paid Concert Streaming: ‘It’s Possible’
If you’re in the concert/event/experiential space and you’re trying to pivot to virtual programing like we all are, read this and keep an eye on what she’s doing. Forever an innovator, that Badu.
MUSIC THING:
Q101 FOREVER 1992 - 2011
This is a playlist of the best songs played on Chicago’s iconic alternative rock station Q101 from creation to it being sold off in 2011. If someone out there is looking to hear 311’s Down, Disturbed’s Stupify AND Sting’s Fields of Gold on the same playlist, I got you covered. This playlist is a ROLLERCOASTER. Recommended for showering, working out and long runs.
