Music Marketing?

During this media “sabbatical” of mine, I’ve been trying to put my experiences to good use by ordering around my new husband.

Do the dishes, give the dogs a bath and do whatever I say when it comes to your music career.  Truthfully, I know little about the industry, but I fancy myself his own personal Ari Gold (“Entourage”).  I’ll typically have the “the best idea ever” at least twice a day, and lucky for his fans, he ignores most of my baseless and often ridiculous orders.

But after catching the American Idol finale earlier this week, we saw things eye to eye.  We both sat in awe.  Not in awe of greatness, but in awe of how not good some of the Top 10 are.  I hate to pick on people since I can’t sing at all, but I have to say I knew Mr. J. Miller could do a better rendition of Beautiful Day than the winner did.  So I told him to get on it.  He listened and now there’s a YouTube video.  The singing is good, and he added some surprises.  I spent my morning laughing.  Hope you enjoy it too.  And if you do, share it!

Now I just need to work a record deal…channeling Ari.
