From the “Super Unknown” to the “Sickest in the Southwest”
From the “Super Unknown” to the “Sickest in the Southwest”:
R.D. Peoples went from a zero following to attaining a formidable online presence for any other new comer. What makes it so much more unique and intriguing from others is how he does it. Everything, EVERYTHING that R.D. Peoples has released, promoted, distributed…all of the vocal production and recording of his tracks, was done by him; even the album artwork. No affiliates, no crew, no big studio or co-sign; he has been very efficient and consistent.
“I just edit things until it looks or sounds good. I mean; I know a little bit of stuff, but vocal performance is my main focus right now.”
Despite his disposition, R.D.’s level of confidence is up just as high as any other. He comes across very self-assured that he’s next up, and at the same time very down to earth about where he stands in the chaos. He believes this next release will be his most successful to date.
His strength is balanced for the most part; the latter in favor of song writing and conceptual consistency. The two new tracks we heard; “Saucy” and “Number 1″, called for encore 3 times. His schizophrenic dynamics are still intact, blanketed with savvy vocabulary, flow, and delivery.
“This is the last of the ‘Thematic’ collection, no more free albums. Next is a small tour, then work on something to sell. What isn’t free will be out of this world…beyond anything. I guarantee it. It feels great completing the ‘Thematic Project’ collection; but feels better knowing I’m just warming up.”
“For What It’s Worth…” – June 29th 2010

Pandora: Internet Radio – The Music Genome Project®
Pandora is one of the most advanced internet radio websites. Instead of duplicating a real world radio station, and adapting it for use online, the have used web 2.0 technologies to put the control in the users hands. The way that the founders have done this is by creating the Music Genome Project®. They have analyzed tens of thousands of songs to identify up to 400 musical elements and characteristics of each song which included everything from “melody, harmony and rhythm, to instrumentation, orchestration, arrangement, lyrics, and of course the rich world of singing and vocal harmony.” By doing this, Pandora can accurately recommend a song and artist similar to what you are interested in listening to.
Pandora is simple to use and provides free accounts. With a free account you will be able to create and customize many stations with music from as many artists as you would like. These stations are very simple to set up; all you would need to do is click on the “create a new station” button. Once the text box comes up you enter in the name of the song or artist you are interested in listening to. This will then be your new station where you can start listening to and rating the music selection. These free accounts are supported by the advertisements place on them. There is also a song skip restriction placed on each station.
To remove the song skip restrictions and advertisements you can sign up for a premium Pandora account for $36 per year. The advertisements place on the free accounts and brand sponsored websites provide the funding to keep Pandora available as a free service. This web 2.0 technique is ideal to bring a large number of users to your site in order to increase profits through advertising revenue and premium subscriptions.
Pandora has also recently expanded to include a video series that covers concerts, in studio interviews, and a section entitled Music 101. This enables them to utilize partnerships with youtube to bring new users and funding to the Music Genome Project®. They have also created accounts on other popular social networking sites such as Twitter, MySpace, and Facebook to connect with their current and future users.
