Hi Jonathan,
I’ve been a fan since the very beginning of your youtube-career.
Anyway: I need your help.
I’m startin up my own label with a friend of mine in the near future. We mainly focus on electrohouse oriented tracks and would like to release on Vinyl and digital.
Now here is where you can help us:
Because you got such a massive amount of people watching your stuff, you are able to reach many of those we are looking for:
Young people who have been producing electro / house tracks, and actually think they’re making proper stuff.(( Johnathan:- to be honest you can be 97yrs old and if you can make music that kicks then go for it!!)
We want young, smart bedroom-producers from all around the world who send in the very best they’ve ever done to us. We want to find good artists for our very first release.
“So if there is anyone out there who thinks he can put a proper track together and wants his( her) stuff to be released on a new upcoming german label, then this is your chance! We want you!”
So maybe you can do a video and make contact with young artists, and help an idea become true. Or you know another great way to do this, maybe in a competition or something.
Hopefully you like the idea :)

Little child
Dry your crying eyes
How can I explain
The fear you feel inside
´cause you were born
Into this evil world
Where man is killing man
and no one knows just why

What have we become
Just look what we have done
All that we destroyed
You must build again

When the children cry
Let them know we tried
´cause when the children sings
The new world begins

Little child
You must show the way
To a better day
For all the young
´cause you were born
For the world to see
That we all can live
In light and peace

No more presidents
And all the wars will end
One united world under god

When the children cry
Let them know we tried
´cause when the children sings
The new world begins

What have we become
Just look what we have done
All that we destroyed
You must build again

No more presidents
And all the wars will end
One united world under god

When the children cry
Let them know we tried
´cause when the children fight
Then we know it ain´t right
When the children break
Let them know we´re awake
´cause when the children sings
The new world begins

Anyone know where to find a serious buyer for a 60s-80s RECORD COLLECTION?

March 2nd, 2010

I’ve got an excessive record collection that my grandfather collected for many years. Just to give you a little bit of his background, he was a DJ here in Chicago from the early 60’s, until his passing in 1986 (lot of Jazz, and Promos). To say he was meticulous might be an understatement. Every album is in excellent condition, with no scratches. All covers are in excellent condition. Theres over 3000 singles, and over 2000 albums. I have lists that will list the album, as well as the songs, title, record lable and number that are on the album. My grandma feels that it is time to let go after all of these years, and let someone else enjoy them.

She actually checked the book value for the entire collection, and it’s valued at $65,216 (mint). I know that you can’t consider them "mint" if they’ve been opened, so I would say they’re "near mint". Any advice as to where to find buyers would be appreciated. I’ve been in contact with some record stores so far.

Below are download links for the lists. The "1.1" and "2.2" are formatted for Excel 97-2003. The regular "1" and "2" are for Excel 2007.

You know… you could always do the e-bay thing, or try peddling your collection yourself, but it sounds like you may have something really special there and I would strongly advise you to deal with a ‘REPUTABLE’ auction house. At the very least, I would urge you to call/email one before you give it up to a ‘record store’. And don’t forget to play up your grandfathers history! The link is to a very reputable auctioneer here on the west coast. Contact them. I found many auction houses in your area, but frankly, a lot of them look like Mom & Pop operations. ‘Bonhems & Butterfield’ is in a class by itself and they could at the very least point you in the right direction. That’s IF they aren’t interested themselves.

The best of luck to you! ‘Tis a pity you’ve got to give it up.

What should I major in to have a career in music?

March 2nd, 2010

Not to play/teach music, obviously I would major in music for that, but to work for a record label/production studio, or something along those lines.

Sounds like you are interested in the business side of the music industry rather that making the music yourself. So..Business or production/communications.

How can I transfer vinyl record music to CD?

March 2nd, 2010

I bought a Philco turntable to play my records on, but I would like to copy them to CD, to play in my car. Can anyone tell me the cheapest way to do this. Also I would like to crash my hard drive on my Toshiba laptop. Does any one know how to get step by step directions to do this. I have photo, and documents I want to save . I am not not very god at computers, but am easy to directions.
Tink

You need your turntable, a receiver, a computer and some software.

queries wen submitting music to record labels in hopes of a record deal?

March 2nd, 2010

i know all the rules / what to and what not to do but . . .

do people always submit their own work / records to showcase potential hits or does anyone ever submit covers of songs in order to simply showcase their voice ?

has anyone had any success with submitting covers ?

thanks

You could do covers and if you show them you have talent then your in.
