If I had a PC.

If I didn’t have an Ipod.

If I needed an MP3 player.

I’ve had a few chances to play around with ZUNEs and can honestly say, I would buy one if I had the chance.  In reality, it is hard to compete with the Itunes/Ipod double knockout, but Microsoft and ZUNE do a very commendable job.  The video player is excellent.  The look and feel of the ZUNE player is superb.  My only gripe, like many is that it is not ‘open.’  By this I mean, millions of people that download music on Itunes cannot use the Zune, let alone use it with a Mac.  Now that Intel chips are in everything: Macs, PCs, cell phones… Don’t you think its time for ZUNE to open up?  These are just my random thoughts.

If I was a PC user, I would definately get:

HP touch PC, ZUNE, and use Amazon to download my music (wait I do this anyways!)ZUNE.net
OH YEA, Check out the Murs custom Zune player, Pretty Sick (they’re giving one away at the MURS meet+Greet at Loyola!)

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome to the new Music Industry.  If you have been under a rock for the past few years, Rappers are doing deals with Mountain Dew, Tours are being supported by Ipod Rivals, and Diddy has his own Vodka.  This indeed is the new music industry.  The question still remains how underground and unknown music artists can take advantage of corporate sponsorship.  Yes, artists like the Cool Kids have struck deals with EA Sports, Rhapsody, and Mountain Dew,  But they have been expanding their online empire for a couple years now.

ON THAT NOTE….

MURS, underground hip hop legend-turned-major-label-signee, will be having a meet and great at Loyola University in New Orleans today.  Expect full updates tomorrow with pictures, audio, and video!

BAD IDEA: Using the enormous lines as an excuse not to vote!

BOLO means Be On The Lookout …
This is a new section i’ll do every week that will hip you to sites, people, etc. that are up and coming and that I’m hip to.

Eric Phillipson and I met while I was working (very briefly) as a College Rep for Atlantic Urban.
We both left Atlantic and have moved onto to our own projects- I’ve started Rockwellbeats.com and started managing artists, etc. and he’s started like 18 sites. To me he’s a music entrepreneur/motivational speaker and that’s why he’s featured in this BOLO BOLO section.

“there is no perfect time.” “it’s all about your follow through!”

Straight for his mouth:
“I’m happy to be here at a good, terrific stage in my life. I think I’m at a show and prove stage. At some point in peoples careers, they find this point to be pressured. But I’m ready- I’ve never been this ready before.”
From an interview at Big Boot radio/Crescent City Radio. Also talks about upcoming projects, Shaq/Koby diss, and spits a quick freestyle.
