It is great to see the quality and depth of service offerings and blog writings in this space start to truly develop.  There should be much to cover in the coming months.

October’s Blog Post of the Month goes to new blogger Kevin Ryan’s article titled: “Are Games the New Rock and Roll?”

VolumeEleven has written about the Rock Band Network and its potential with independent musicians for DIY downloads.  Kevin’s posting elaborates on this point by redistributing and commenting on a slideshow from the UK website Music Ally.  Music Ally’s slideshow titled “10 Trends in Music and Games” is a must view, especially if you need that extra motivation to get started.  100 million+ downloads on these rock gaming platforms should get anyone’s attention.

Kevin’s advice: “If you think your music can work in the games arena then do something about it NOW!”

Right on!  Any musician that has songs that could work in this platform should start the process now in learning what they need to do to prepare songs in this format.  It starts with multi-track recording.
