A few days I go, I mentioned Charlie Wilson's remix contest. Indie artist Shannon Hurley is doing something similar, but taking it to another level by releasing an entire album of the best remixes.
As previously mentioned, this is a good opportunity for upcoming producers, but it's also a great opportunity for bands and musicians. Think about it... And if you're doing one yourself, please let me know below.
If you're a fan of recording and like "behind the scenes" stuff, you should really check out Ronan's Recording Show with producer Ronan Chris Murphy.
The episode below is a visit one of the coolest studios on the planet, Sound City in Van Nuys, CA. The list of legendary albums recorded in their studio “A” is staggering-- Nirvana “Nevermind”, Tom Petty “Damn the Torpedoes” and “Wildflowers”, Neil Young “After the Gold Rush”, Fleetwood Mac “Rumors”, Tool “Undertow”, Kyuss “Welcome to Sky Valley”, Dio “Holy Diver”, and other classic albums by Nine Inch Nails, Weezer, System of a Down, Metallica, Johnny Cash, Rage Against the Machine, just to name a few.
Here's an interview I did with Paul Worley. He's produced acts like:
If you're looking to get a better understanding of music publishing/licensing and how it works, you definitely want to check this out. He talks about why labels (and others) are into "sound alikes" and the economics of everything.

Met Alan Parsons yesterday. He was in town to do a guest session at the School of Audio Engineering. My friend Alan Shacklock got me and the other guys from Music Business Radio hooked up.
Alan (Parsons) a great talk on recording the Beatles, Pink Floyd, and others. Obviously, recording technology has some a long way, and I know that as well as anybody, but it was still amazing to learn first hand how albums like Dark Side of the Moon were recorded.
Will have some clips for you guys soon. And when he's back in town, we're going to get him in for a full show.
For those who don't know about Alan, check out his Wikipedia entry.
