Dear Coca-Cola Corp.,

With more and more things changing from status as a Product to a Service (software, music, media, etc...) I thought you might like to change your line of beverages from a product to a service as well.

Please arrange with me to have a monthly fee automatically withdrawn from my bank account, and send me a "Coca-Cola Card" good for any of your beverage products, wherever they are sold. I should be able to swipe it through pop machines, use it at restaurants, airports, gas stations, etc. and send me monthly statements of how many gallons of Diet Coke I drink per month.

Oh yes, and if you could run a line to my house, similar to water/gas/electric, that would be great too.

I'm actually surprised your overpaid marketing executives have not figured this out already, but if you are interested in a new marketing CEO, I would be more than happy to take that position, and make sure they don't miss out on blatantly obvious income opportunities like this one. Trust me, I got plenty more where that came from.

KTHXBYE,
-CZ

Of all the places to run across a cool book like "Music Legends - A Rewind on the Local Minnesota Music Scene By Martin Keller" I found it at...SuperAmerica. That's right. The Gas Station.

I wasn't looking for a book on Minnesota Music History...well, actually I was, but not at that particular moment in time. It was a bona fide impulse buy. If there was a XXX video there starring Salma Hayek, Aishwarya Rai, and Halle Berry, I would have bought that too, but I certainly wasn't expecting to purchase books or movies at a gas station checkout.

But marketing people [Author's Note: Don't even get me started on Marketing People...wait a minute, I've already started.] have always believed that if you could just get your product in front of every man, woman and child in the Multiverse, that $$$ is sure to follow. They don't really care what the product is, just get it in front of the people. This is the entire philosophy behind television and radio advertisements, roadside billboards (curse them and the soulless bastard who thought them up), advertisements in bathroom stalls, and e-mail SPAM.

Had I been driving 35W North to Tobie's in Hinkley and actually read each and every billboard on the way (A nearly impossible task, since no human being can read that much) and seen an advertisement for a book on Local Minnesota Music History, I would have done that thing people do; pursed my lips and nodded my head slightly, thinking to myself, "Kewl, I'll have to pick that up if I see it." But that's the problem; the majority of advertising requires the potential customer to actively Go Someplace Else to buy the product being advertised. The advertisement plants the "impulse buy" seed in the subconscious, and marketing people hope that the seed takes root and grows into the action of purchase.

But now they have figured out a better way. They realized that the tiny area of real estate near the cash register sees MANY MANY MANY people a day. MANY. But it gets better, because those people are already in a store! They are already in "gathering" mode! There is already a cashier in place to make the transaction, and all the necessary equipment. The customer already has their method of payment out, and is going to MAKE A PURCHASE! Every obstacle between the customer purchasing the product is cut down to the impulse. The customer only needs to reach over, pick up the product, and toss it in the cart with their existing purchase! [Editor's Note: Insert sound effect of entire excited marketing department wetting themselves here.]

Now remember, marketing people don't really care what the product is, just get it in front of the people, right? They don't really care if they are trying to sell a water pump for a 1996 Saturn, if they could just get their product to sit at the counter of Starbucks, IT WOULD SELL. Every single cash register in the world has now become a convenience store. Every website checkout is a potential selling ground for someone to ask, "Do you want fries with that?" or "Since you are buying a book on Equestrian Philosophy, you probably also want a Horse Calendar and a copy of 'The Horse Whisperer' at a reduced rate!!!" Caribou Coffee sells greeting cards. Starbucks sells CDs. McDonalds has the Redbox DVD rental, and SuperAmerica is selling books on Minnesota Music History.

Of course, these are retail chain franchises, so the store managers probably don't have much say in the matter themselves, and probably aren't getting much of the profit, since that is all being done at the corporate level. But for independent business owners, this could be a new form of revenue. A restaurant that carries band merch? That could happen. Hell's Kitchen already carries their own line of clothing. It isn't a stretch to think that they might move some stuff around to make room for some Jagged Spiral hoodies. An Indian restaurant selling lawn care chemicals? Maybe not.

The Million Dollar Idea is for a company to take over the middleman job of selling that space, just the way Clear Channel (Hiss!) sells advertising space on billboards and radio. If a company came along that walked into Magers and Quinn Bookstore and said, "Hey, let me have a one-square meter of space here near the checkout, and I'll find people to lease it for a monthly fee, you just sit back, and I'll send you a check every month..." Well, seems to me there is a business opportunity there for someone more industrious than myself.

Sadly, what this will lead to are checkout counters that look like 35W north, or your inbox, crammed with a bunch of shit you don't want or need, and have nothing to do with the store you are at. During your next visit to the dentist, when you have to stand on tiptoe to see the receptionist over the ostrich waxers, keyboard warmers, and the new Jagged Spiral incense line...well, maybe then you will learn to dislike marketing people as much as I do.

KTHXBYE,

In my neighborhood, the first person to mow their lawn in the spring is a jerk, because then the rest of the lawns look like ass, and we have to mow them. Here is a typical spring conversation in my neighborhood:

"Hey Bill, I see you finally caved in and mowed your lawn, huh?"

"Yeah, it was up to my knees, and I figured..."

"Thanks A Lot, Asshole!"

I imagine it was the same with DRM-Free music, nobody wanted to be the first to sell it, and be hated by the RIAA. Smaller sites like magnatune and mp3tunes were too small to be a threat, so they were like weeding the garden, and didn't really count. But we knew the end was near when we heard Steve Jobs half-hearted anti-DRM speech.

But now, like Fish says, "The game is over!". Amazon has announced that they will have DRM-free music available later this year.

So the rest of the music outlets can hate Amazon for forcing their hand, and i-tunes and microsoft will be forced with a decision. They are big enough that they could try to keep their DRM-infected collections in place, perhaps offering them at reduced rates compared to DRM-free tracks. (Or, if you see the glass as half-empty, consider that the DRM-free tracks would come with an "I buy DRM-Free Music, and therefore, I am a criminal, and must pay extra" fee). Oldsters might remember the fee that was added to blank cassette tapes and blank CDs marked as blank "AUDIO" CDs. This is how the industry dealt with their fear that anyone with a tape deck and a CD player was 'ripping them off', and I see no reason for them to be original now.

Perhaps Microsoft, i-Tunes and such could contract big-name acts to come over and release only DRM-infected tracks EXCLUSIVELY through their websites. That would be a clever way to get people to succumb to their DRM-Protection; even if people knew about it, understood it, and didn't like it, they would still Buy it if they wanted the product badly enough.

It would also make them the New Record Labels.

Listeners who tuned into Drive 105 this morning were probably quite shocked to hear their alt-rock replaced with nostalgic 60s-80s fluff.

Star Tribune reports why.

The reason Drive 105 got pulled should be no surprise. Low Ratings. The low ratings should be no surprise: Three fucking radios stations. 105.1 105.3 and 105.7 depending on where you are in the cities. For someone who primarily listens to radio in my car (If I listen at all) I can tell you that I was rarely able to listen to the station. It seemed no matter where I was in the city, all three stations sounded like ass. It has been that way since 105 was born as Rev 105 (Revolution Radio) and reborn as Zone 105 (The Edge).

The playlist for Drive 105 wasn't the greatest, but it certainly was one of the best in town, which just goes to show you how bad terrestrial radio has become. I laughed every time they said they were "taking chances" The fact is, I didn't hear much on 105 that didn't already have some buzz or a Seal of Approval from Pitchfork et al. They could have tried harder to be different, and they certainly could have played more local music.

It's too bad that one of the better radio stations in town got turned into a clone of the new Jack 104.1. No doubt the massive success of Jack (A completely mediocre station which only thrives because everything else sucks so much) has spurred 105 to switch. Hey, Maybe the tagline for the new 105 can be, "We're Playing What We Want TOO!"

For those lamenting the demise of Drive 105, don't feel too bad. Check out Radio K instead 106.5 /100.7 and punctuate your listening with some White Stripes and Cake, and you will be fine.

...and don't even Talk to me about The Current.

Here is a Million Dollar Idea: How about a Radio station that only plays songs from Independent Labels? Here is a Ten-Million Dollar Idea: How about a Radio station that ONLY PLAYS LOCAL MUSIC? That same station could broadcast live shows every night from a different bar. There is so much live music here in Minneapolis, I think people really have NO idea.

Why can't any people with money think of these things?

Wouldn't it be cool if someone were to mix the Karaoke Revolution and Guitar Hero games together, maybe add bass and drums and keys and have an entire virtual band game? Everyone in the group would contribute to the group score, attempting to play along with some classics. Maybe even have a couple Dance-Dance-Revolution Cage Dancers, and a Sound Board Operator to mix it and a Lighting Director... Maybe square off against other virtual bands over the internet...

A cool twist would be to make it into a game show like those lame-ass "Model" or "American Idol" shows that everyone watches. I wouldn't watch it myself, but hey: instant ratings.

Well, the first part of this grand scheme is coming to fruition: since EA released this announcement of the upcoming Rock Band Game.

Hey, the Recording Industry reads my blog!

Check out this story in the NY Times by Jeff Leeds, about a group just signed by a record label..

...to do Two songs. TWO. Thas'all.

Sound Familiar?

The album distribution model was perfect for hard-copy records, tapes and CDs. So you really liked "Pour Some Sugar On Me" because you heard it on the radio. You ran down to Musicland on 3 August in 1987 and bought Hysteria the day it came out. You paid $11.99

Why did you pay that much for one song? You didn't. You only wanted the 'hit', and you might have actually paid twelve bucks for it, but that truly would be a rip-off, since the single (in cassette tape format, natch) was available for $3.99. That makes 12 songs for twelve bucks sound like a hell of a deal. Those were your options, and they sucked.

But not anymore. On the interweb, you preview each song before you buy it, and you pick and choose the songs you want. Who the hell wants to buy the entire album of Wang Chung's "Points on the Curve"?

You only want this song, and this one. Maybe this one, if you're a true fan.

But this? It's crap. If it was a piece of furniture in your house, you would pay to have it hauled away; you certainly wouldn't want to be caught Dead with it taking up space in your I-Dope Shuffle. The song was tossed into the album so the price could be set higher, a technique called "Value Added", a concept thought up by a marketing person who should have been disemboweled for coming up with the idea.

Yes, the time is up for the album. It's just as well, since few bands use albums to their full potential anyway. The article mentions Tool and Radiohead, but has anyone heard of Jethro Tull's "Thick as a Brick"? The CD has one track on it, about 45 min long. Its not even a concept album. It's a 45 min SONG.

Concept albums? Nobody does that anymore. You'd have to be drunk or stupid to even try that shit nowadays.

But the real proof that the record companies read my blog? I quote:

Another solution being debated in the industry would transform record labels into de facto fan clubs. Companies including the Warner Music Group and the EMI Group have been considering a system in which fans would pay a fee, perhaps monthly, to “subscribe” to their favorite artists and receive a series of recordings, videos and other products spaced over time.

From: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/03/26/business/media/26music.html?ex=1332561600&en=7a34accc8988c811&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss

I wonder if I will get any credit for coming up with the idea first.

Albums are dead.

I love it when Lefsetz is right, and he's always right. Now he's saying that 'the album is dead' and long live the single. People can not only buy the singles they want, but they can also mix their own playlists. They play the SONGS they want, not generally the ALBUMS. In many cases, there is only one song on the album that is any good. Commercial Radio stations (remember them?) only play the singles anyway.

This is not news to anyone. I've thought this ever since first hearing the term 'One-Hit Wonder'.

So why bother writing an album? Why not just write a hit?

Of course, it does not work that-a-way. I can tell you firsthand that when a group gets together and writes songs, they don't know which one is going to be The One (if any at all). If it were that easy, the entire album would be filled with hits! Oh, the band has their favorites, and their not-as-favorites, they might even have some 'throwaway' or 'filler' songs that don't SUCK per se, but they aren't single-worthy. But part of any hit is hook, and part is luck.

Lefsetz is right that the record companies would be nothing but wise to change from the Album paradigm to the Single paradigm. The majority of the consumers already have. Perhaps releasing songs one track at a time is a better distribution method? Doesn't it suck to wait YEARS for your favorites band's next release? Wouldn't it be cool if your favorite band released a new single EVERY MONTH instead? Wouldn't it keep your interest in a band longer? Hell, by the time Tapes-N-Tapes release another stiff, you won't remember that you even bought their old one!

Wouldn't it be cool if a band promoted their upcoming album by releasing it a track at a time on the internet FOR FREE?

We are way beyond the magical year 2000 now. Turns out Nostradamus didn't know shit. The world did not end (unfortunately) and I'm still paying for the end-of-the-world party I had in 1999. (still slightly hungover too...)

So here we are in 2007, and there are 3 things that Should Be, but Are Not.

1) Flying Cars - Where the hell are they already?

2) VR - We been looking forward to Virtual Reality ever since the fucking Holodeck, and the closest we ever got was this crap. Sure the holodeck in Star Trek ended up malfunctioning over half the time, killing hundreds of people, but that's what they make release forms and waivers for, right?

3) Software as a Service, not a Product - Alright, so we ain't been waiting on this one for near as long, but I loaded up the new Adobe Reader 8 and I'm wondering how is this different from version 7? Version 6? Version 3?

What Adobe Reader changed from previous versions is to hide all the buttons people used to use (Like 'Save A Copy'? Yeah, glad you got rid of *that* useless button)and replace them with buttons that should be labeled 'Give Adobe Money For Added Useless Functions!'

For instance - BEYOND Adobe Reader? What the fuck is Beyond Adobe Reader? ***BEYOND*** Adobe Reader? And a meeting button? In Adobe Reader? WTF?

The casual user doesn't use any of those 'Value Subtracted' features, they use it to view PDF files. Let me rephrase that in a parable for Adobe:

[Setting: The Pearly Gates]

God - "Alright mortal, before you can enter Heaven, you must answer this question, and answer it honest and truthfully, or shalt thou forever burn in a fiery pit of, um... of Fire!"

Adobe Reader User (terrified) - "Yes Lord."

God - "Now, What is your favorite color?"

Adobe Reader User (confused) -"???"

God - "Ha! Sorry, just fuckin with you there..."

Adobe Reader User (relieved) - "Whew!"

God - "Right. What is the purpose for Adobe Acrobat Reader?"

Adobe Reader User (sweating) - "Um, to read PDF files?"

God - "Correct!"


No dig against Adobe. Microsoft Money and Intuit's Quicken programs haven't changed functionality in Years and Years, but they have continued to release new versions every year. And Windows? Exactly what I am talking about. Microsoft should hand me a couple million just for making this observation to them.

They have bought into the paradigm that a Software Product is a living, breathing entity, which ebbs and flows like the tide, continually morphing into new and exciting user experiences under the guidance and direction of our marketing department...

...but they are wrong. Sorry, into the fiery pit of Fire with you. Thanks for playing, we have some lovely parting gifts for you.

If you can't write a piece of software and call it done then you don't have a Product. You have a Service. If customers buy your software off the shelf, install it on their computers and never look back, then you have a product. But what we have instead is what I call Version Release Syndrome.

It isn't hard to understand why. You have hundreds of people working on the project. For months. Years. You fine tune, and you beta test, and you work work work. Suddenly, the shareholders scream in unison. The press has been notified, the preorder checks have already been spent, and the market is buckling under the stress of waiting. The drop dead date is etched in bits on the internet. There is no more time, and not enough caffeine in the world.

Somewhere a file is transferred to the duplicator. You just went gold.

After the programmers come out of their comas, then comes all the frustration of shoulda/woulda/coulda. Shoulda added this feature. Woulda got more user feedback. Coulda done more testing. If we only had more time. Here we got this big money-making-machine, and it's a shame to shut it all down now, I mean, what are all these talented people going to *DO* now? The juggernaut has only paused for a breath, and it would be SO DIFFICULT to shut it down, and SO EASY to...

Keep going.

The beauty of the interweb has only enabled this attitude. Software companies can ship unfinished and untested 'product' and provide patches later. Just slip in a clause into the EULA, and bam! You can make money today on software that isn't even finished! Game companies are the most notorious for this, but at least They draw the line on their releases at some point, so they truly are a Product. Imagine if music or movies did this! (although with DVD re-releases and CD remasters this can be done to some extent)

Like Stick says, "This is Not the way."

No. What companies will eventually realize is that software in all its forms, movies, music, e-books, webpages, RSS News Feeds, blogs, and even operating systems should be distributed as services, not products. Charge a subscription for them. In case you didn't know it, you already are, but it's just about the clumsiest system I can imagine.

Instead of trying to trick your customers into upgrading to the new version, get them to sign on as subscribing customers. Which way do you think will make more money? (And DO NOT USE THE WORDS 'LONG TAIL' OR I WILL KICK YOUR ASS!)

AOL understands this. Give the software away. Free. Charge a subscription for the service, like a utility.

This IS the way.

Less than a year ago, I had this great idea to offer a service where people could call you and pretend to be someone, your mother, your boss, your friend, your Significant Other, etc... There must be thousands of possibilities for this service, but my initial thought was that some people just want someone to talk to like a friend, maybe just to bitch or complain about things. On the other hand, they don't want to regret what they said, or they don't want 'the word to get out' and have it come back to haunt them later. So, there is clearly a market for a service employing people who couldn't cut it in the phone sex industry, listening to people blather about their psychotic boyfriends, or how High School Math is such a drag, and "When the hell am I going to use Algebra in my modeling/movie-producing/forest-rangering career?"

While it isn't quite as interactive as my idea, the popularity dialer is a great alternative.
Sign up (free) and calls that you schedule (date and time) are made to your phone. Don't want to hang around the party past midnight, and don't have any kids to call you up? You are set. Don't want to be stuck in a meeting all day? Have popularity dialer bail you out. Want to seem important with six calls during the lunch hour? All set.

The first five calls from popularity dialer are free.

I can see this service being extended to tie in with some calendaring program (google calendar, outlook, sunbird...) and calling you with warnings of birthdays, anniversaries, bills due, library books due etc.

...So I was wandering through my locally owned and operated, Non-Cub, Non-Rainbow Grocery Store, when I saw an endcap filled floor-to-ceiling with Oreo cookies and some kind of contest emblazoned on the side of each package. Turns out Oreo held a contest for their "Ice Cold Milk and an Oreo Cookie" jingle. Anyone can enter a jingle, and everyone can vote for the winner.

At first, I was pretty salty about the whole thing, my initial reaction was disappointment. Can't they afford to pay someone to write a jingle for them? Doesn't their marketing department know what a good jingle sounds like? Have they lost touch with their target market, and now they have to ask their target market which jingle they prefer best?

Of course the answer is much simpler, (and if I watched TV at all, I would have figured this out sooner) Nabisco is simply cashing in on the popularity of the 'Star Search' shows. Makes sense to me, to connect your product in some way to something that is popular.

So the Oreo Jingle goes through some kind of social filtering process, where multiple versions are constructed and then filtered by those who participate, supposedly resulting in the 'best possible Oreo jingle ever'.

Hmm. I have an idea. Let's take this a step further. First off, let's apply this to not just the Oreo jingle, but to some generic piece of music. Instead of the public contributing seperate songs, lets have them be more involved, and actually work on the song together, voting on the proper key and tempo of the song, the instruments involved, the structure of verse-chorus-verse and even the individual notes that are played, their intonations and durations and such.

Sound crazy? It sure does.

Sound familiar? It sure should.

How long before Open Source Music becomes a genre?

Just remember where you heard it first...

Someone can tell all the idiots in Washington D.C. to go home now, and get real jobs. Thanks much, but we can handle it from here.

How's that you ask? How are we, meager, mild-mannered citizens able to take control of decisions made at a national level? We already do.

I will admit it's kind of sad that the best model for our government comes from a 'Reality' TV show, but no one can deny that it operates under true democracy. Issues can be listed on the evening news, and concerned citizens can cast their vote by phone, or internet, or e-mail ballot. A computer (which really needs to be called "Big Brother" or "Deep Thought"...) can track the votes, and debates can be held on www.wikipedia.org. Hell, Simon can even provide running commentary; he can turn to the board and say, 'Survey Says...' every time the numbers are updated like on Family Feud. We could have Vanna White stand there and do the same thing she does on Wheel of Fortune: Nothing.

To keep the process fair, everyone must have access to TV/radio/phone/internet. Thanks to the public library system, broadcast TV, and public radio, this is mostly the case.

No more 'Representatives' who have their own agendas and can be swayed by special interest groups. No more 'Electoral College' bullshit. Are you Anti-Abortion? Anti-Gun? Anti-Dashboard Confessional? Cast your vote, and if you are in the minority, deal with it. Fuck the 'checks and balances' and the '3-ring circus'.

No more Jury system. Broadcast all trials on TV/internet, and everyone turns in their vote. All the money that went into funding our 'representatives' can be reduced to a roomful of servers and a handful of underpaid geeks to play Oblivion and reboot the servers when they crash.

It will be argued that this system would be prone to some problems, for instance, if 51% of Americans hated Michael Jackson, they might have voted his plastic ass into prison just because they didn't like him, and not based on whether he was guilty or not. The same case can be made rich people/parties buying up the votes of the people who don't give a damn. I can see the commercials now, "Vote to Burn all of Dashboard Confessional's Albums and their lead signer, and I will give you one dollar! Paid for by the Conrad Hates Dashboard Confessional committee."

This argument is a valid one, but I never said that Democracy was the best system of Government. Especially for a group of people as narrow, selfish, and uneducated as Americans, but I'm saying it would be a true democracy, and not the sham we have now.

Video Games in the Olympics? Of course the Olympics has primarily been for sports and physical events, but now that geeks rule and uncool is the new cool, I can totally see the following events being part of the New Olympics:

-Video Games
-Linux Networking Triathlon (Install Linux / Connect to Wireless Network / Connect to Print Server)
-Texting using a Cell Phone Keypad
-Info filtering Triathlon (Process 1000 RSS feeds for relevant content / Filter 1000 e-mails for spam / Identify phishing sites from 1000 pages)
-Hacking into Networked SQL database through Cisco Firewall

Spelling Bees are also gaining popularity in the media, (which tells you just how far down the toilet 'reality programming' has gone) so I guess that might be an event with some audience draw.

I still think LARP (Live Action Role Play) should be an Olympic Sport. For those who don't know what LARP is, watch this.

If everyone in the USA, Canada, Belize, Antarctica and Micronesia did not purchase a drop of gasoline/petroleum for one year, and all at the same time, the oil companies would choke on their stockpiles!

At the same time, it would hit the entire industry with a net loss of over...well...billions and billions! It would end jobs for thousands of gas station workers and managers, truck drivers, refinery workers, utility companies, etc..., and most likely upset the global economy, but what's *really* important is that it will STICK IT TO OPEC!

Therefore, 2007 has been formally declared "Stick It To OPEC, Along With Thousands of Petroleum Industry Employees Year"! and no one should buy any gas or petroleum products for the entire year! Turn off the gas appliances in your house, (Stove, Clothes Dryer, Furnace...) and put all the keys for your gasoline-powered vehicles in a safe deposit box for just one year, and "Stick It To OPEC, Along With Thousands of Petroleum Industry Employees"!!!

The only way this can be done is if you forward this e-mail to as many people as you can, and as quickly as you can to get the word out! Waiting for the government to step in and control the prices is not going to happen. [Editors Note: Sorry, should have ended that last sentence with an exclamation point!]

Remember one thing - not only is the price of gasoline going up, but at the same time airlines are forced to raise their prices (OK, that's two things), trucking companies are forced to raise their prices (Fine, three things, but that's it!) which effects prices on everything that is shipped! Things like food, clothing, building materials, and Humvee parts! Who pays in the end? We do!

Make no mistake, we can make a difference! Think of how much tax money we can save in road repair alone by not driving on the roads for an entire year! Not to mention auto insurance and those expensive Humvee parts!

If they don't get the message after one year, then we will do it again and again!

So do your part and spread the word! Forward this e-mail to everyone you know! Mark your calendars and make 2007 a year that the citizens of USA, Canada, Belize, Antarctica and Micronesia band together and say, "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"!
