Radio Dale: Music, Musicians and the Canadian Music Industry Dale Speaking

Every week we see, or hear from, artists who are trying to build a buzz for their new single online. Or, otherwise, are frustrated that radio isn't showing interest in their music until they get action through social media. We offer three things you can do 'right now' to help engage fans and build interest online, as well as five factors to look for in any strategy you come up with yourself!

Radio Dale is the podcast about music, musicians and the Canadian music industry from our unique perspective at the Dale Speaking offices. We help bring indie and established acts to radio, and spread the word online, as well as develop their careers in today's ever-changing music business. This podcast gives away some of our best information for free, and serves as the 'radio show' that broadcast the ideas, observations and insights we discover every day working with Canadian and International artists.

ROUNDTABLE: You want to engage your fans, get exposure for your song, build a buzz, test your new single and have an online presence so that radio (or blogs, or a label, or anyone) see you have the support they need to give you a shot.

FEATURED SONG: We decide to play Chad Brownlee. Why? Just Because...which is the name of the song.

ROUNDTABLE: Can Terri Clark and Dean Brody win two years in a row? Are Jess Moskaluke and Brett Kissel set to dethrone the 'defending champions' of Canadian country music? Or are the other nominees confidently clearing a space on their mantel?

Discovered and shared from thisdayinmusic.com

FEATURED SONG: Bobby Wills 'Never Didn't Love You.' No, that's the name of the song, we're sure he likes you quite a bit!

ROUNDTABLE: Amber and Roo go through the Canadian Top 50 chart and peek at the Polaris Prize long list to see what Canadians are making waves this summer. We break down how many pop, rock and country artists are charting and talk about how formats you might associate with Canada don't quite have the chart power you'd expect.

MTV. MuchMusic. Video Hits on CBC. Artists were once made by their music video, but now that 'Music Television' doesn't exist, what is the point of making one anymore? We look at the past and present of music videos, touch on YouTube's current controversy with independent labels, and what independent artists can get out of making a music video today!

THIS WEEK IN MUSIC HISTORY: ...10 years ago, the Beastie Boys at #1!
Discovered and shared from thisdayinmusic.com

FEATURED SONG: Another collaboration, this time between Colorado DJ group Manufactured Superstars and Canadian soul legend Jarvis Church (Philosopher Kings) and their song 'Stay.'

ROUNDTABLE: Dale Speaking had a music video service as recently as 2011, but now we've decided the service doesn't make sense. What has changed, what is the current state of the music video...and how can independent artists use videos to their advantage? We also touch on YouTube's upcoming streaming service and what it means to independent labels.

The Song of the Summer is the golden ticket, the mountain peak, the World Cup (topical) of the music industry. To have the Song of the Summer is basically saying "Your song is the most successful, memorable, and obnoxiously overplayed song of the year." Last year, 'Blurred Lines' edged out 'Get Lucky,' and the year before Carly Rae was #1 with 'Call Me Maybe.' We offer our predictions for the 2014 Song of the Summer for three genres: Pop, Rock and Country!

Fifteen years ago this week, the original 'Digital Disruption' took place when Napster was born. The music industry was changed forever...blah blah blah, we've all heard it before. But we wanted to look at the immediate changes that came from Napster, and what is happening today in the music industry that is a direct result of the peer-to-peer sharing of music in the early 2000s. From fans trading music for free, to artists giving away their music for free, a lot has changed!
