Spazzcast #4 Doby Watson – The Social Media Non-Marketer

tanacea — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 20:37:09 +0000

In this spazzcast Doby Watson tells why he doesn’t use social media. This is not the recommended Music Spazz business model for musicians who are working to build their career, but for Doby privacy and musical expression take precedence over career. As an honest fan who would like to see longevity in his music, it is my hope that his career perspective will change with the coming season.

Enjoy this track titled Pummel from Doby’s latest album 22. Pummel

In this Spazzcast listeners will discover a new approach to funding their next music project.

Indie rocker Andy Zipf, who “believes that music isn’t something that’s meant to be encapsulated, homogenized and programmed into a commercially viable product,” describes how his business model raised $45k to produce The Long Tail with industry veteran James Barber (Ryan Adams, Hole, Guns N Roses), through a series of fund raising concerts, house shows and investor parties.

“Music transcends commercialism and is meant to be experienced live.” -Andy Zipf
