On March 28th, 2017 Congress passed a law making it legal for your Internet Service Providers (ISP) to track and sell your personal activity online. Meaning the things you search for, buy, read, and say can be collected by corporations and possibly be used against you. Internet Noise is a site that will passively load random sites in browser tabs that you can leave running to fill their databases with 'noise. source

New URL
Hi everyone!
The URL has been changed from indiemusic-blog to internet-noise.
Instead of conforming the blog's name to a specific genre of music, this new URL allows us to feel comfortable posting a broader range of music for you all to enjoy, including indie music!
Enjoy!
I'd like to remind everyone that maybe just maybe, Being a horrible dick to people on the internet Isn't a good way to accomplish your goals! Shocking! I know! Wow! Philosophy!

How do you get noticed with all the noise?
How do you get noticed with all the noise?
Technology has always been a double edged sword. Nuclear energy vs. Nuclear Bombs. Communication Satellites vs. Star Wars program. Cures for cancer vs. biological warfare.
For music, technology has lowered the barrier for entry allowing anyone to record professionally sounding tracks at home. The internet has allowed anyone to release their music to the world with no gatekeeper. That is an incredible opportunity, but it also means that the market is flooded with everything ranging from the terrible to brilliant in every genre.
In his blog, Seth Godin has pointed out something that probably has its routes in ancient Chinese philosophy. http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2013/12/we-all-lose-on-the-shelf.html. Being noticed in music is being like “a camel standing amidst a flock of sheep” or a “crane standing amidst a flock of chickens.” Also, the Chinese proverb “crows everywhere are equally black” may ring true her.
The only way to rise above the noise is to be excellent in your uniqueness. In a world of 7 billion people and with media that has tried everything, how can we be anything but derivative of something that has already been done? The beauty of being human is that not one person on this planet experiences the world in exactly the same way. That means that in our own way we all have something to give that is slightly different than everyone else.
In fact, it is the fear of giving of ourselves that creates works that are unoriginal. It is far easier to copy someone else than it is to reveal our own vision of the world. Of course, we need to start our journey through emulation, but at some point an artist needs to make that separation from the safety of coping another person’s original works to exposing their own soul.
Music is a medium that allows a direct connection between an artist’s inner being and the listener’s intellect and emotions. It can trigger anger, triumph, joy, bliss, fear, happiness. Create something that will connect with someone on that level and you won’t have to worry about all the shelves out there.
