This is an off-topic blog post, but I gotta show some hometown love to my city and post this audio from The Masked Avengers, a comedic Montreal radio duo that is notorious for their prank calls.
Earlier today, they pulled off another major prank on none other than Sarah Palin.
Pretending to be French President, Nicolas Sarkozy, they threw a few things her way, like referring to the Canadian Prime Minister by the wrong name and congratulating her on her feature movie, “Who’s Nalin’ Palin” by adult entertainment empire, Hustler.
Needless to say, she didn’t catch on.
Below is the official press release (yes.. there is a press release for a prank call) as well as the audio of the prank:
I came across this website a few weeks ago and wanted to share this with the producers and beatmakers out there.
This website, Hobnox.com is offering $30,000 to contestants who submit their music productions into their Evolution 2 contest. They have 3 different categories for their contest; Music, Film & Culture - each with its own $30,00 prize.
Usually, I wouldn’t post something like this, but like I mentioned yesterday; conferences, showcases and contests can be incredibly helpful to your success, so I wanted to share this with you guys to give the producers and beatmakers a chance to take advantage of one of these opportunities, regardless of what city you’re in.
Check out the video below to take a quick tour and then click here to find out more information about the Evolution 2 contest.
If you’re an aspiring artist, producer, DJ or professional, you should already know how important conferences, showcases and contests can be. If you don’t already know; then I’m telling you now; they’re important.
I make it a point to attend several of these events, even if it doesn’t necessarily pertain to my profession, mainly because of the networking opportunities they present. If you know how to carry yourself and you have the necessary self-promo tools (business cards, CD, DVD, etc), events like these should not be missed.
If you’re in Atlanta, or will be on September 11, 2008, make sure you attend The Demo Clinic being held at Django.
For those that follow me on Twitter, I did my first live videocast yesterday, after UPS dropped off the package.
It didn’t end up recording, so I was planning on doing another short video clip, but as the people who logged onto the live videocast know, I don’t have much of a voice right now (lost it a few days ago), so I decided against it.
I’m definitely going to be incorporating more videocasts into the blog though, so there’ll be more to come. If you have any suggestions for what you’d like to see, please feel free to leave a comment and let me know.
Also, if you have any questions about the Bold, just ask and I’ll do my best to fill you in.
This blog is about my personal journey in the music business. I'm not really a blogger.. I'm just continuing my everyday grind and sharing my journey with you. From time to time, I'll also feature interviews with key decision makers, tastemakers and other young professionals doing their thing. Feel free to drop me a line or leave your comments.
