Hey fans.

There is a specific application out there named Last FM that not only benefits you the listener….but also the artists that you listen to in addition!

Lookey Here!

In today’s day and age, every one listens to music on the go. What Last FM allows you to do is to digitally keep track of all the music you listen to in REAL TIME. Meaning the specific time you play a song, where you are (we think) and who you listen to all in one specific moment. 

The “scrobbler” is the specific name for the Last FM gadget that allows for music fans all around the world to connect with each other and help give musicians the recognition they deserve! It can be synced through most music playing applications like iTunes, WMP and even online players such as Spotify, Rdio and Deezer. Also most mobile music players are compatible with the Last FM app. All you need is to download the app either to your phone, laptop or desktop, then register an account and you are good to go!

Artists love to see fans play and interact with each other about their music. Last FM allow for such interaction and gives the world real time stats on popular songs from the fans point of view. Too many apps are driven by silly reviewers who rank songs to their opinion, not the fans. It’s all about the fans!

Support the retro scene by downloading this app. After a few days you WILL forget you have it and will listen to music normally rather than playing songs to give artists high numbers!! So for those doubting the authenticity of this off for real plays, you are dismissed!

OK, OK, OK

BASICALLY……..WE HAVE NOTICED THAT MANY OF THE LOYAL RETRO FANS OF THIS UNDERGROUND 80S REVIVAL SCENE FEEL THAT SOME REVIVAL ARTISTS MAKE TOO MANY SONGS AND ALBUMS……. AND RELEASE THEM TO CLOSE TOGETHER!

THIS COULD BE DAMAGING TO THE SCENE IF QUALITY CONTROL IS NOT ENFORCED!!! OVERPRODUCTION WILL HURT THIS SCENE PEEPS!

EXAMPLE

IGNORE THE SILLY GIRL ON THE LEFT FOLKS……..FOCUS …….ALTHOUGH THE HIGHLIGHTED GUY ON THE LOWER RIGHT IS BEING DISRESPECTFUL TO THE ARTIST, WHICH NRW DOES NOT STAND FOR,  REALIZE THAT WHAT THIS DUDE IS SAYING IS A SEMI VALID POINT. WE LOVE SELLOREKT AND THIS IS NO STAB AT HIS MUSIC OR WORK ETHIC. HE IS A MASTER OF HIS CRAFT! BUT IS IT NECESSARY TO RELEASE AN ALBUM SO OFTEN???……..EVERY MONTH?? THIS GOES FOR ANY ARTIST IN THIS FIELD.

 (WE ARE NOT PICKING ON SELLOREKT, JUST AN EXAMPLE)

IT SURELY IS QUALITY OVER QUANTITY…..RIGHT?

WHAT CAN AN ARTISTS GAIN FROM RELEASING ALBUMS IN SHORT TIME SPANS?! A QUICK BUCK…OR A CHANCE TO GROW A REAL LOYAL FANBASE?

FOR THIS SCENE TO LAST AND PROSPER, ALBUMS NEED TO BE SEEN AS GOLDEN TICKETS!!! GEMS IF YOU LIKE. THE MORE OF A WAIT A FAN CAN GET UNTIL THE NEXT ALBUM …….. THE GREATER THE SALES WILL BE FOR THE NEXT ALBUM. 

AN ALBUM A YEAR IS JUST FINE MY PEOPLE!!!! LOL 

AN ALBUM EVERY MONTH/ 2 MONTHS/ 3 MONTHS IS STRAIGHT OVER KILL!!!! THERE IS NO NEED FOR THIS.

(NOT COUNTING EP’S, MIXTAPES, COMPILATIONS…ETC)

EVEN ARCADE HIGH AGREES MANY ARTISTS ARE DOING THIS

WE KNOW THAT ONCE A PRODUCER IS IN THE ZONE, HE/ SHE WANTS TO PUT OUT HIS WORK AND SHARE THEM. BUT THIS SCENE ISN’T A PRODUCER FOR THE PRODUCER SCENE. KEEP THAT BEHIND THE SCENES. 

SHARING SONGS WITH FANS WORLDWIDE AND GETTING RECOGNITION IS THE MAIN GOAL HERE……RIGHT?!

REAL LISTENING FANS WHO WANT TO HEAR QUALITY TRACKS MATTER SOOOOO MUCH! THEY GET YOUR SOUND ABOUT VIA WORD OF MOUTH! HOW CAN YOU NEGLECT THEM?!

FOCUS ON QUALITY…..

AND DJ’S WHO WANT TO SPIN  TRACKS TO INCREASE RETRO BUZZ SHOULD NEVER BE IGNORED. 

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS PEOPLE?
