Fog Blog

Welcome to the Fog Blog #46

 

Revolutionising the music business on a weekly basis...

Everyone is entitled my opinion...

 

Wow… it’s been weeks since I last posted something here…

 

Seriously, you turn your back for a week or so and everything changes!

 

Julia Gillard is now PM, Marion is out of MasterChef, Queensland won the world cup (3-0) and music sales for the first half of 2010 are down 8%.

 

OK, admittedly that last bit of information is hardly surprising, and it really doesn’t bode well for a healthy second half of 2010, especially when you consider that Michael Jackson can’t die again. But hey, it’s the music industry and it is always entertaining…

 

 

New Releases - Foghorn

 

We really don’t blow our own (fog)horn very often on the Fog Blog.

 

OK, I apologise for that last joke.

 

But really, how often do we blatantly plug our own releases? The answer is “not very”.

 

We have heaps of new stuff coming out… and I will be shamelessly plugging them over the coming weeks. One of them is the debut album from Queensland hard rock act Weapon Head.

 

The album, titled “Surgical Smaile” was produced by the legendary Steve James (Sex Pistols, Screaming Jets, Angels, Monty Python) and features identical twin guitarists and a singing drummer (who I assure you, I am not related to…). The record has only been available at gigs and as a promo CD but has already garnered heaps of interest, particularly over in Europe where they have been enjoying airplay in Holland and the UK.

 

The first single will be “Bullshit Has No Sound” and you can watch it here. The guys will be touring nationally in the coming months.

 

 

 

 

Useful Info – Now With It’s Own Heading

 

Believe it or not, I actually do include useful information in the Fog Blog but it is usually overshadowed by photos of David Lee Roth.

 

Which is a shame really…

 

Anyway, for those of you who are in your own band and doing all your own social media/online marketing, check out this story about how to monitor your efforts.

 

It’s the least I can do.

Subscribe to Myspace?

 

My initial response to this story would have made for a very short blog.

 

It would simply read “why?”

 

Why on earth would ANYONE on the planet want to pay money to subscribe to Myspace? That would be like paying to listen to AM radio. There is nothing on Myspace worth parting with your hard earned cash for.

 

If Uncle Rupert thinks that the kids will pay for something that they believe they created themselves… well, you’d have to say he was at the every least being somewhat optimistic.

 

 

 

 

Biggest News Ever!

 

Thanks to Heath in our office, I was alerted to the most AMAZING news story earlier this week.

 

That’s right, a NEW Van Halen album is apparently in the works for release in 2011.

 

If it wasn’t for the fact that I have been locked up in a jury room for the past two weeks, I may have missed this momentous occasion and therefore you poor people would be unaware that the gods of rock will be smiling upon you all in the coming months.

 

Rest assured, I will keep you appraised of the album’s progress.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What Would Dave Do?

 

 

 

Now, that is something you don’t see on stage any more… the singer drinking alcohol and the guitarist smoking a ciggie.

 

A sad, sad state of affairs…
