As we all know the music industry, esp the Caribbean music industry is seeking for business models which work. There are two interesting discussions at the moment, one on Facebook where Mark of iRibbeantunes says “Free music we can’t affort” and the other one on dancehallmusic.de (in German) talking about the new release policy of Jamaican producer crew Daseca (based on an article on dancehall.mobi).
In both discussions I made my point that free music will have a measurable positive effect for promotion and sales figures if it’s done right.
Just found out that there is a options to set up pages in Tumblr incl. customized URL. Thanks, that’s exactly what I have been waiting for a long time! Here is my first page.
Page means - like in Wordpress - that the article is not in chronical order, it is fixed in the timeline.
This week we had two new releases on Faluma:

Im Streit um das Energiekonzept von Umweltminister Norbert Röttgen (CDU) mobilisieren die Lobbyisten ihre Kräfte. Aus einem Gutachten der Deutschen Umwelthilfe (DUH) und des Bundesverband Erneuerbare Energien (BEE) ergibt sich, dass länger laufende Atomkraftwerke oder neue Kohlekraftwerke dazu führen, dass der Bund sein Klimaschutzziel, den CO2-Ausstoß bis 2050 um rund 90 Prozent zu senken, nicht erreicht.
