Want to know whats really going on in Thom Yorke's mind? Or all the crazy stories from years on the road with Pete Townsend? Well, with the new addiction known as Blogging, you can. Many bands have started their own Blogs in which they communicate with fans on a daily basis. Fans are able to check out pictures and comments posted by the band that, without blogging, would not have been able to.
One of the first lessons we learned in class is that these new technologies (such as blogging and wikis) allow people to able to connect with others all over the world. But the most important use is that these new social medias allow you to be in control. Just like bands that have their blog sites control the information they give to their fans. In turn, fans are able to check out their favorite bands' sites, and for the first time, get to know the band as normal people!
One of my favorite bands is Radiohead, and on their blog site the band members blog a few times a week. They talk about a favorite pub, write a poems, and put pictures up from a night the band members got together, and they even let their blog guests know about secret shows that the band does around London (nicer if I lived there so I could be in the "know" and be able to get to it too!).
So, the point is that blogging allows people to get information that they might not been able to receive before as well as share information with others too! It's fun stuff, and pretty cool to get to know your fav band on a more personal level. Check em out and enjoy the wonderful world of Blogging!

It's a great way for musicians to keep up with their publics! Radiohead is totally at the forefront of everything digital these days, and they're really getting good response for it. Another good music related blogging aspect is that of the critics. Music professional Bob Lefsetz, known in the business for years, has now put his famous commentary, the "Lefsetz Letter",online, making it even easier for more and more different people to access it.
I definitely feel as though this is a great idea for any band or group of people wanting to get information out about themselves. If people are able to connect better with these bands or groups of people then the easier it is for them to gain more dedicated and loyal fans. It’s a nice way of relating to their audience and is a brilliant way of getting closer with those who keep them successful. This is the same basic idea of myspace, where bands can put their music out into the public and let people know a little more about themselves. This page also shows up and coming concert dates as well as pictures and more background information about themselves. Both of these angles are a step in the right direction for gaining publicity as well as new admirers.
I love Radiohead and I think blogging is really changing the communication field. It would be pretty cool to be able to communicate with your favorite musicians. I hope this new trend keeps on growing like it has been. Who knows what the future will have in store for us next.
This is such a great idea. It goes to show that blogging can be used effectively by anyone or group. Radiohead is just one of many bands that uses blogs to stay connected to their fans.
