Songwriting and surviving in an age of social media and industry collapse. Ben Walker’s vision of the future of songwriting and the future of music.

This Week In Songwriting (28/06/08)

* Christine Rosen “agrees (The New Atlantis » The Myth of Multitasking)”:http://www.thenewatlantis.com/publications/the-myth-of-multitasking with my notion that successful multitasking doesn’t exist. It’s all about “the zone” (ie. attention).

* Victor “responds (Getting Ready to Get Ready and Singletasking. | Adventures in Songwriting)”:http://adventuresinsongwriting.com/?p=29 to the The Myth Of Multitasking from a songwriting perspective.

* Justin “speculates (How music consumption is going to change - Vox)”:http://justin751.vox.com/library/post/my-prediction-on-how-music-consumption-is-going-to-change.html on the future of music, where tunes will be as customisable as Starbucks coffee. ;o(

* Bruce “argues (Digital music can’t be marketed, it can only be found. - Music Think Tank)”:http://www.musicthinktank.com/blog/digital-music-cant-be-marketed-it-can-only-be-found.html that the nakedness of digital music throws the traditional turd-polishing model out the window…

* Peter Holsapple “muses (Catch and Release - Measure for Measure - Opinion - New York Times Blog)”:http://measureformeasure.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/06/24/catch-and-release/ about using the TV (with the sound off) as a songwriting tool!

* Just in time, I discovered the “50/90 challenge (50/90 :: The 50 Song Challenge)”:http://5090.fawm.org/ to write 50 songs in 90 days starting on the 4th July. I’m in! And it looks like “Cory’s in”:http://www.songwritingzen.com/?p=158#comment-266 too!

* “Better Than The Van”:http://betterthanthevan.com/ is a new site offering a directory of people willing to open up their house to bands. Keep an eye on this one.
