Welcome to another Mark Edwards blog, The Music Meeting.
To make a long story short, I've been a radio programmer for a very long time, and like many others in radio, found myself downsized out of my job in October of 2011. In some ways, that was a blessing. One of those ways is that I can now listen to music like a regular person, not a radio programmer worried about the length of the intro, if it has a "hook", a catchy thing listeners will remember, and if I can get the artist to do a concert for my radio station.
After leaving my last job, I've started a firm, Mark Edwards Worldwide, that helps businesses and artists use the internet and social media in ways they've never imagined. I've also started a news feed of the latest news in the online, social media, and marketing worlds here.
So I've been cleansed of all those toxins and am listening to music like a real person again. I'll share the things I find with you on this blog, give you some music news and background, and look for music that grown ups like to hear. Not the "thumpa thumpa" or auto-tune stuff the kids listen to, but real music by real artists. And I'll let you know when I don't like something as well. The opinions you read here are mine, and I receive compensation for some posts. Hopefully you'll let me know in the comments if you agree or disagree with me. Or, you can e mail me at mark-at-markedwardsworldwide-dot-com.
So sit back, enjoy, subscribe to the posts, and enjoy The Music Meeting!
