Learning from Jimmy Iovine

Interscope Records CEO Jimmy Iovine was featured in a recent piece in Rolling Stone, and it was one of those rare celebrity interviews that actually yield insight and useful information for people interested in music production and engineering. READ MORE...

On Selling Songs Through TAXI

Occasionally, as an amateur songwriter, I will open the account I have with TAXI, the Web-based Artists & Repertoire service, check out the listings, usually for those calling for Film & TV soundtrack music, and if I have something that seems like a possible match I will upload an MP3 mix and submit it for consideration. I never get anywhere with this past-time... READ MORE...

RARWRITER.com in 2012

Hello Everyone,

Moving into the New Year, RARWRITER.com continues to expand our offerings into new forms of video and streaming audio, along with an expanded commitment to social media, including Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, among other.

Something about the New Year - our last, of course, if you are among those who favor doom-oriented interpretations of Mayan calendars - has we at RARWRITER.com in a reflective mode. That's winter, I suppose. We have all sorts of introspective and historically based stuff up at present, including some shameless spotlight mongering by yours truly (RAR). Winter feels like Classic Country to me, for reasons not understood. I like Willie Nelson, Marty Robbins, Hank Williams, and Roy Orbison in the cold months, not that it gets anything but facsimile cold in California compared to that experienced in my Midwestern upbringing. It gets freakin' cold in Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois and Indiana! Is it any wonder I moved west a hundred years ago, riding the back of a sturdy Chinese peasant - a man named Wong - who seemed happy to give a ride...

That's the other thing about Winter, it goes best through a surreal lens, and that is sort of the way we approach it at RARWRITER.com. We have spectacular Hank Williams footage, live audio from months before his early death. We have metal heads and artsy lesbians and talented high school students. It's weird, it's Winter at RARWRITER.

 

COMING ATTRACTIONS

We are soon to launch "The Irresistible Squeaks" Website as part of the RARWRITER Publishing Group. The new site will focus exclusively on music and other creative works produced and performed by female artists of all ages, but with a particular focus on the leading demographic markets, mostly Youth and Young Adult.

 

You can expect to see a lot more of the move toward videos at RARWRITER.com, and if you are aware of some really special artists who should get greater exposure drop an email message to Rick@RARWRITER.com. Suggestions are much appreciated. That goes for the range of subjects covered throughout the site.

 

We appreciate the contributions we get from a growing list of contributors and wish to welcome the interests of all potential contributing writers and artists.

 

Don't forget to check out http://www.revolutionculturejournal.com/ for the lastest in environmental design, from the political to the physical landscape and beyond.

 

And as always, thank you so much for your support of RARWRITER.com. Please don't hesitate to tell your friends!

 

Peace,

Rick Alan Rice (RAR)
