June 24th Panic! at the Disco and Weezer - Bristow, VA

Panic! at the Disco, kicked off my summer concerts. I love Brendon and his creativity! He is in a class all his own!  This was my 11th time seeing the band but it was one of my most  favorite times because I got to take my little 13 year old cousin with me as well! It was great to share this experience with her.  So without further ado:

Who:  Panic! at the Disco and Weezer with Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness
What: Amphitheater Concert
When: June 24th 2016
Where: Jiffy Lube Live, Bristow, VA

Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness started out the evening.  I've been a fan of Andrew since Jack's Mannequin, when he toured with Panic! on the Nothing Rhymes with Circus tour. Andrew put on an amazing set and even played a Jack's Mannequin song, Dark Blue. He was really engaging with the crowd. He even ran through pavilion and up into the lawn for a song! It was great! He ended the performance with Cecilia and the Satellite

Time for Panic! At the Disco!!! They opened the set with "Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time". The entire show was full of energy! No matter how many times I see Brendon, he never ceases to amaze me with how much dedication he puts into each and every show, This tour he brought a horn section and they were great! During "Crazy=Genius" Brendon had a drum off with the touring drummer of Panic! It was great! The guys also covered Bohemian Rhapsody (this is the 3rd time I've seen them perform this song live so I would like a new Queen cover song!)Also, Brendon dedicated "This is Gospel" to Spencer because he has been in recovery for 2 years now (Go Spence!) They closed out the night with Victorious instead of Sins. It was a great performance!

Last but not least, Weezer took the stage! My boyfriend was super excited to see them. The crowd really got into the music and the band was very personable on stage! They played all the popular songs! I was able to sing along with most of the set. They were pretty entertaining! I loved all the backgrounds they played on the monitors. Some were very colorful!  It was a great night and awesome set!

My cousin thoroughly enjoyed the show. Funny story, I ran into an old high school, Sis, she was in the same section, row and our seats were near each other! The last time her and I saw Panic was for her 20th bday and she is turning 25! It was to see the show with my close friends and family!

Acoustic Performer Joe Firstmas

Name of Artist/Band: Joe Firstman
Latest Album/EP: Swear It Was A Dream
Hometown: Charlotte, NC 
Members: Joe Firstman
Bio: Joe Firstman bought an $18 cross-country Greyhound ticket from his home in North Carolina to Los Angeles, arriving with a beat-up guitar and head full of songs. He quickly found the big stage. It all happened quickly: first came the big Hollywood gigs, then the industry buzz, then the big deal with Atlantic Records and national tours with big rock stars like Sheryl Crow, Jewel, and Willie Nelson. There was ego and excess and beautiful ladies and music, music, music. Firstman wrote it all down and sang his songs like his life depended on it. 

"In the songs of Joe Firstman, sensitive young men prowl the hills of Los Angeles, searching for fame and beauty, only to find self-destructive behavior and egos gone wild…” wrote Jim Farber in the New York Daily News. “While Hollywood's peaks and pitfalls have been prominently charted by songwriters from Don Henley, Stevie Nicks and Jackson Browne to Warren Zevon, Firstman aims to reinvent the milieu for his own generation."

When the world stopped spinning, he’d landed a regular gig as the bandleader on the “Last Call with Carson Daly” show. For four years, this was his university – playing and writing songs in whatever style the show’s musical guests played and learning how to engage a studio audience, day in and day out.

Firstman released his 7th studio album, “Swear It Was A Dream,” on September 6, 2011. The album features 10 new songs written and recorded over the last year in studios in Charleston, SC, Mexico, Los Angeles, and Nashville. Of the album, Firstman shared, “You can really feel the year in the record, you can feel the whole journey in there and it’s my best piece. It’s my best thing thus far.”

The album’s first single, “Who’s Turning Your Light Out?” is Firstman’s exploration of straightforward, unadulterated songwriting. “It was just a very personal lyric, but I tried to make it into a pop song that everybody would get. Its got lyrics about South Carolina and falling asleep with your head in your hands—I thought the imagery was relatable, “ says Firstman.

Expanding Your Horizons

The entertainment business is forever changing. There are specific areas that are expanding in the music industry. One of the areas is through the digital marketing. Many artists and bands are putting their music out there through different digital outlets. One option is for music fans to download songs, albums and video on their phone through an application. This is an easy and portable way for people to share their music tastes with their friends.

What better way to share music than to go to a concert! An interesting idea I had was a concert venue at a bowling alley. People can listen to their favorite bands while they bowl. It can be rock n roll bowling! The bowling alley is an innovative way to share music and laughter with friends.

As a recent graduate, I have acquired the skills to put these options into reality. I have learned how to research, write and present a business plan. Investors will not argue when there hear the advantages of creating a mobile nor a music venue and a bowling alley.

There is nothing better than sharing music with friends. No matter what digital media outlet it may be, people will be expressing their opinion about music.

Money, Money, Money!

Financing is an important part in your life. It can be personal financing or business financing. Either one it is important do this task so that you can obtain financial stability. There are many different websites available online to help you reach your goals. Two websites that give great advice about financing for entrepreneurs are AEO, Association for Enterprise Opportunity and CFED, expanding economic opportunity. Each website gives information about financial opportunities the companies offer. They have different programs to qualify people for the right amount of money. AEO has initiative programs that they feature on the page. The catalysts initiative program is designed to help non-profit organizations. The CFED websites has different programs as well. One program is entitled the American Dream Match Funds. The program is for hard-working low-income families wanting to start their own business. These programs all have qualifications and processes to obtain the finances. When going through the AEO website they have tons of information about joining the company. They even breakdown the statistics of each state to give the potential business owner an idea of how they will succeed. Each state has its own website that is there to help you and your business. The CFED also has something similar. They are involved on the state and local. The company is able to help your business grow where you let it. There are other links to information regarding ways to join on both of the sites. You are able to help other if you desire or eligible for a mentor. There are endless opportunities to look for on these sites as well as the Internet. You just have to research and find the best option for you and your business to succeed.

Talk to the Experts

What I have learned from the experts I researched is that it takes a lot hard work and dedication to get where they are today. Success didn’t happen over night. It takes planning and financial stability to be at the top. Experts across the country have put blood sweat and tears into making their dreams come true.
Experts like Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, get their edge in start-up companies. They develop an idea; invest time and money in it for it to succeed. That is what I would like to do for my record company. Invest the time and money for a record company to be successful in the Pittsburgh area. Although, working on my business it has been easier said than done. I am not giving up on my passion.
In other words, passion is something that investors look for when choosing clients. They are not being apart of the management aspect so they want to make sure they are investing their time and money into someone who is passionate about their work. Experts like Frank Goley say that the biggest down in businesses is communication and execution. In my business would not want that to happen. I will strive to communicate with staff members and execute the plans I have in store for the business.
The key is to have a well-written business plan. The business plan must be detailed oriented to the goals that the owner wants to achieve. I myself want to manage at least seven by my third year in operation. In my business plan I will explain all the steps and procedure I want to accomplish within the first five years of business.
In the end, the experts are very helpful when looking for guidance to start your own company and work on your business plan. I will continue to look for experts in my field. I hope to open my own record company and become a successful businesswoman.

CDs Following in Cassettes Footsteps

Throughout the years technology has drastically changed the way people listened to music. At one point in time people could only listen music on the radio. Then vinyl came out along with the player. 8-tracks, cassettes and CDs were to follow. But now they are in the digital form of MP3s. This change not only affects consumers but it also affects businesses.
Retailers such as Best Buy, have drastically downsized their selection of music. I went to purchase a CD the day the album was released and they did not have it. They didn’t even have the artist listed on the shelves. Places like Wal-Mart are lowering the prices of all CDs. They not only have a five-dollar movie bin but five-dollar CD bin as well. They will do anything to get the consumers to buy the products.
The switch to online sales can also leave businesses confused. They still have to pay the record companies all the rights and royalties for every album they sell. The business needs to watch and record the sales of the digital media. Complications begin to arise when tracks are sold separately. The company has to make sure that everyone gets their share of the profit.
The process of sales reporting can be complex with all the different packaging models of the digital music. But by automating the system it will make the process go a lot smoother. It will also benefit the retailers and record labels. There is a program that can list the transactions using product, date and price that the item is sold. This system can better ensure that everyone gets the royalties.
The technology is growing to help more people use digital media as their main source of entertainment. This is making the physical CDs become obsolete. Will they ever really go away?

Your Opinion is needed!

Warped Tour Mobile App!

Summer, the time to relax, chill out and go to Warped Tour! The Vans Warped Tour is one of the biggest, largest travelling festivals and has been on the road since 1994. Every summer, sixty bands come together to make the festival a success. If you have ever been to Warped Tour you know how hectic it can be getting the times for the bands you want to see. I normally just take a picture on my camera of the inflatable so that I always have it with me. Last year Warped Tour introduced an application on the mobile markets and this year they brought it back! It is better than ever! The application is a helpful device and your guide to Warped Tour this summer.

One of the features of the application is news and updates. This is helpful because it allows fans to stay on up-to-date on all news about the tour. This also gives you links to the twitter page so you can stay on track with all the news happening the day of your show! The feature also gives  fans links to related sites such as Alternative Press and Buzznet.

Another part of the application is the Extra’s. There is a survival guide that tells you the DO’s and DON’Ts of Warped Tour. For example, it tells you to wear lightweight, light colored clothing and comfortable sneakers rather than layers or flip-flops. The section gives the 101 on the venue and what you can bring into it. The coolest part of the section is the camera. It allows you to take a picture of you and your friends while it automatically adds the logo to photo. It’s a neat way to remember the day!

The coolest part of the application is the ‘My Set List’ feature. This allows you to add the bands you want to see at the show. It also lets you add the time they are playing and what stage. It even lets you put the location and time of the meet and greet! Also, the feature lets you set an alarm so you do not miss your favorite bands!

The Vans Warped Tour is connecting with fans through the advances in technology. With the help of the application, fans will be able to enjoy their time at Warped Tour and not miss out on their favorite performers or the chance to meet them! 

Non-Traditional Approach

You are an artist and you want to get your music to your fans. Do you want to choose the more traditional route - the record label and physical distribution of CDs, or perhaps a nontraditional more innovative approach? Although numerous contemporary artists have made a name for themselves through online popularity and social media sites, generally, artists still dream of the traditional record deal. They have many opportunities with a record company. Other artists take a more modern approach with the use of the Internet and social media sites.  One band named Panic! At The Disco never played a live show before they got signed to a record label. They posted songs to their MySpace page. There are different websites available that allow a band to upload the their music and not going through the hassle of signing pages in a contract. One website is called cdBaby. They are an independent music site, that allows bands to upload albums to the site for fans to download. For just a minimum cut, the artist can upload their works and share them with the fans.

The nontraditional approach to distribution is extremely beneficial to artists because they are able to get their music out to more fans for a cheaper cost. The artist can send their album to cdBaby or a similar site. The website will take the album and distribute it on to the online database where more people will be able to access it around the world.

The artists on these sites are not looking for a lot of fame. They just want their music to be heard. If it is picked up along the way then so be it! Many opportunities open up for the artists as their fan base grows. Who knows they could be the next Panic! At The Disco! 

Technology Laws

What is our world coming to? Social media is taking over our everyday lives. More people today are using social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter on a daily basis, now than ever before. Even from a business standpoint, more companies are referring to social media outlets to advertise their products and increase brand awareness. Since more people are using it, there is a greater need for media law. Some companies, however, are stepping over the boundaries and acting illegally. In the next three podcasts we will discuss the latest terms in the media world.

The first podcast talks about the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1988, DMCA and how companies are dealing with this act. The act was passed by President Clinton and has five components. The act combines online copyright infringement liability limitation, computer maintenance competition assurance and other miscellaneous provisions including webcasting and sound recording. The panelists discuss various lawsuits that they were involved in or have knowledge of in reference to DMCA issues.

The next podcast talks about how social media can be used as evidence in court cases. One of the examples given is about a sexual harassment case in the work place. In the past, workplace sexual harassment cases typically were based on ‘he said she said’ evidence. With today’s technology, however, conversations can be permanently recorded, and therefore are a possible source of evidence. Consider text messages. Conversations through text message are extremely popular today. These messages though can be viewed by anyone. The iPhone’s messages can actually be photocopied the texts and enlarged to use at trial. This source of concrete, detailed evidence eliminates the ‘he said she said’ and provides the trial with actual facts. Unfortunately, most people are not considering the permanence of electronic writing. Once something is written online or through text message even if it deleted it still sits on some server. It is important to be careful what a person says through text because it can be brought up and used against you in trail.

The last podcast talks about infringement, specifically those involving websites and uploading content to websites without gaining permission. There are many people who do upload content to their websites only to later be asked by the content’s original owner to take the information down. One of the questions asked during the podcast dealt with a website that allowed people to upload their favorite magazines to a website. This was a huge infringement problem that needed to be addressed. These people obviously did not get the permission to upload the content page by page so a number of them are being asked to take the information down.

All three podcast gave great information about dealing with law and digital media. The information is given so that people can learn and grow from the experiences. The concepts discussed in these podcasts, can each be applied to anyone’s business that looks to grow with the new technology of the future as well as the laws that accompany it.

Intellectual Property

In a world that technology is changing faster than the seasons, there are items that are overlooked. Lines are blurred and things become unclear. Some of those items boundaries are tested include intellectual property. There are different types of IP: copyright, trademarks, trade secrets and patents. All of these legal forms have specific laws and the music industry has many cases that deal with them.

One case that is current is between Viacom and YouTube. Viacom is suing YouTube over copyright policies. It comes down to what type of system is put in place to prevent the violations. Viacom states that YouTube should have prevented this and taken measures to protect the copyright by installing software filters. If these precautions were taken then the lawsuit would not be in dispute. There should have been filter software put in place since copyright infringement started to have negative affect on companies. Emailing the user who uploaded the content is another way that Viacom wants to put an end to the infringement. But that only goes so far and who will check to see if people actually take down the content? While uploading videos of my own, even for some classes, I can’t use the music that I would like to use. No audio will play from the video because it has been disabled. YouTube is taking into consideration the copyright laws. Viacom brings up good points but YouTube may win this argument because they are already in the process of putting in filters for music content, they must be working on video filters as well.

Another case involves the music artist Ke$ha. She is suing a watchstrap company called “TikTok” because the name is too similar to her popular 2009 single, “TiK ToK.” Ke$ha’s lawyers want the company to hand over its entire stock. The artist was not financially stable until the song hit No. 1. If she can prove that consumers associate her and the product then she will most likely win the case. I can see where Ke$ha is coming from when suing the company. The song made her career and defines who she is. I associate “TiKToK” with her. I hope that she wins this case. She deserves a little bit more financial stability.

The last case talks about the future of the music industry. Rethink Music Conference was held a few days ago. Leaders in the music industry from record labels, copyright offices, recording studios, venture capital firms were some of the areas that were represented at the conference. At the event different issues were discussed about the future of the music industry. One of the issues was about the way fans received the music. Some artists are not focusing on how fans receive the music but the music itself. When you work on making good music then the fans will follow. Another issue was the talk about empowered artists and if a record label was necessary. Record labels provide a lot of help to the artists. They have many connections, so they will not be completely going away. However more artists are using social media spread their music and connect with fans. They are turning down label deals to become more authentic and close with fans. Facebook and other media sites are becoming a hubb for fans to share their musical interests with friends. What better way to find out about a band than the recommendation of someone you know? 

This is just the beginning of conferences and discussions about the future of music. As the music world turns digital, there different rights and laws that are emerging from the advances in technology. They will all have a great impact on the entertainment business in a way. 

Concert Photography

Whenever you attend a concert, people always tell you take pictures. Photography and concerts go hand in hand. People enjoy looking at them. It makes them feel like they were there. But sometimes your pictures don’t always turn out right. They can be blurry, out of focus, too dark or just off center. Unless you are up close, front row, you are not getting great pictures. So here are some tips that will help you.

Avoid Using Compact Cameras. They are slow to start up and have shutter-lag. If you want good photographs use a digital SLR camera.

Use High ISO. Concert venues normally have a well-lit stage but the rest of the area is dark. The light is not enough to capture a good exposure so use higher ISO. Avoid ISO 1600 because it can get too grainy.

Use Shutter Priority Mode. You can customize the shutter speed based on your capability to hold the camera still. Using the program mode will capture the best picture.

Use Zoom Lens. Unless you friends with band you are not getting up close and personal. Bring lenses such as an 18-70 and 70-300 to switch on and off.

Don’t Use Matrix Metering. If you don’t understand go back and read the manual! Switch to Spot Metering and meter for the person whom you want to take the picture.

Flash is useless, most of the time. Using a flash just whites out the people and objects in close range and doesn’t even get the artist.

Here are some of my good and bad concert photographs!

Sean Porter: Tour Manager

Sean Porter has been in the music business since a very young age. Some of the bands that he has toured with include: This Providence, Sherwood, Mat Kearney, and Kris Allen. I got to ask him a few questions about being on and dealing with negations. Take a look!


How did you get into the music business?
I got into this business when I was still very young. My dad DJ'd parties so I was always around music and when I was 16 I joined a local band from Seattle and from that met a band called This Providence who needed a Merch guy. After my band had broken up I thought why not, so I came on as their Merch person and a few months later got prompted to tour manager.




Do you enjoy touring?
I do enjoy touring a lot. Since I have been touring for so long (6 years) it becomes routine and looses a lot of its flash. As I continue I feel Niels constantly having to tell myself that this is a great opportunity and I am getting paid to travel, see the world, drink beer, and listen to music.


Have you ever had to negotiate with another tour member? How did you deal with the situation?
Especially in my job I am always in contact with other tour manager, managers, agents, clubs, pretty much everyone. I always have to negotiate with people on things and it is something you have to be careful about doing because you can't just be like "my way or the highway" and you have to be very professional about it. There is a lot of compromising that comes with it wither it be about where we are allowed to put our equipment to how much I get paid, etc.


Have you ever gotten into a sticky situation on tour? How did you work through it?
I have gotten on countless sticky situations and you just have to be able to think on your feet and fix whatever the problem is. As you go through more and more situations you start to learn from your mistakes and make sure that they don't keep happening. One example is while I was on tour with Nick 13 we had a hotel room very close to the venue but they randomly choose to give up our reservation so I had to find another hotel last minute for us to use.


Have you ever worked with people who used negative emotions during discussions? How did you turn their frown upside down?
I will be the first to say that a lot of musicians seem like they are bi-polar. One little thing can set them off and make them bummed out or pissed off and the way I try to handle it is calmly try to find the good in the situation and reassure them of that. Sometimes it works and other it doesn't. But if you keep a good attitude then at least they won't bring you down with the ship.


Do you have any advice to give people who want to work in the music industry?
My biggest price of advice is to never give up and always keep trying. Plan on having no money for a while (usually a very long while). This is a very tough business to make it in and you won't ever get anywhere sitting around and thinking things will just come to you. You have to stay motivated and keep your goals within reach, but don't make goals that are unrealistic. Even making really stupid little goals and then once you achibe those move on to another one a little further out of reach until you reach the top of your list.


Anything else you would like to add?
Thanks for letting me do this! I wish I were able to do more of these sort of things.


Thank you for your time Sean!!!
