Single best post I've ever seen on the internet, courtesy of my LinkedIn buddies: http://musicindustrynewswire.com/2011/0 ... 200152.php

I might be skirting a forum rule or two, this post is THAT juicy, the title? What Music Supervisors Wish You Knew


Let no one ever ask again if LinkedIn is worthwhile, heh. 8-)






* for cryin' out loud, don't go indiscriminately spamming the good folks mentioned in the post; do not contact them directly, it's career suicide to send them music AT ALL, until they ask you to do so.

Interesting TED talk Mojo. I remember practicing listening to conversations several tables away at bars.

Thanks for the link.

That's a classic songwriting technique; I learned it from Harlan Howard. It's how he got "Pick Me Up On Your Way Down", among others.
I love using stuff people say just before the fight starts. ;)
