The music industry's commecial cycles are showing.
Get yer new music out there for the fans to salivate over
to drive demand for show tickets/merch/etc. (the real way that artists make money these days vs. recorded music which is more for people like Beyonce and TSwift who have giant built in audiences so streaming actually makes them a buck or two).
‘A quiet but ferocious PR pitbull.’
There are lots of power publicists out there in the world (Marilyn Laverty from Shore Fire Media comes to mind, she has worked with Bruce for years... Alexandra Baker is another -- Madonna, Duran Duran, Billie Eilish.... Yvette Noel-Schure who works with Beyonce, etc).
But there is only one Tree. 🌳
I love inside baseball.
The man responsible for dozens of Teenage Symphonies to God
"Sad songs about happy things" (the first time, as a kid, I can recall the sweet/sour combo of melodies that could make you cry attached to songs about endless, bottomless love)
I've long since lost track of how many weddings and funerals I've attended that have featured this song; suffice it to say, "a lot."
God only knows what we'd been without him 🙏🏻
Hey tyler hopefully this doesn’t violate some PI.FYI golden rule
But after nearly two years of writing, editing and arguing, my book about the EP is coming out in May and can be preordered here: https://hozacrecords.com/product/aifl/ The book is about the origins, history and cultural impact of the EP since these little objects first started coming out in the 50s.
Over 50 of my music biz friends then helped me shape the list and review the top 200 ever released, according to us (ha).
For those of you who are into this kind of geekery/snobbery, I can’t wait to hear what you think. A labor of love, as all books are! ❤️
