Off to CMJ to Moderate a panel, DIY or Die
So I am off to New York City today to attend this year’s CMJ events. I will be moderating a panel called DIY or Die. If you are attending this year’s CMJ, please come to our panel as it should be really interesting. And if you do come, please come and say hi afterwards.
I will be seeing one of my acts, Tim Barry, play a sold out show at the Knitting Factory with the Falcon and Loved Ones. I will get to meet Bill (of IndieHQ), Ronen (of Issues Oriented), and maybe Carl (of Ferret). I will also get to spend some time with my friends in LaGrecia, Ross from Reignition, and Seth from Negative Progression.
I am looking forward to the trip. I have been entirely overworked lately as you can tell from the inactivity of IndieHQ. I think this trip will reinvigorate me and hopefully it will help me to get back on track with Indiehq. I would love to get your ideas on how we can add some contributors to the site without it getting out of hand. I would love to see IndieHQ being more active, but I just know that I don’t have the time to commit that I once did. Our vinyl store and imprint, Vinyl Collective, is going so incredibly well, if I were a smart man, I would stop doing everything else and just focus on that.

From your experience with Vinyl Collective, IS vinyl on the up and up as everyone claims it is?

yes, vinyl is going really well. Every month has been better than the previous month for us. I think the press is talking it up more than it actually deserves, but things are going really well.
