GrooveShark At The Future Of Music Summit
Grooveshark are now firmly cemented as members of the free music for music fans fraternity along with others including We7, Deezer and obviously new giants Spotify. (we know there not all completely free!) With these guys being directly involved in the way music is changing, and likely being involved in someway with the big four record labels that everyone is quickly getting fed up with eventually go under, its only natural that they’d be knocking around The Future Of Music Summit.
Some interviews, be they amateur ones, are leaking its way to the net. Jack DeYoun (VP of label relations at Grooveshark) was mauled outside the summit by Scott Stead. The interview goes well until Jack reveals his favourite band…… so close.
disclosure: RouteNote is partners with Grooveshark.
He was hardly mauled. He was actually pretty excited that someone knew what Grooveshark was. (I’m sure startups get tired of telling folks what exactly their service is/does and getting blank looks from non-users – albeit it is their job). All in all – it was great to meet the dude – and seriously nice to hear them talking about wanting to promote the music makers – helping them be independent of labels.
i meant no offence, i didnt mean to give people the impression you annoyed him.( and dont think i did) he seemed pretty sound.
oh and as to being amature i had my iphone in pocket dude. viva la revolucion. sorry i forgot my P2 camera at home. :/ bwaha
its cool – im just instigating. thanks for the repost. glad to see people are picking up on grooveshark. im torn between pandora that i’ve loved forever – and the grooveshark. i bounce back and forth between the two a lot. what say you? what do you use?
http://www.routenote.com, the site i work for, are partners of grooveshark, i thought it would be cool to post an interview of them. when i said it was amature i was apologising for posting a dark grainy vid. no beef. im glad your cool though, the questions you asked were cool i thought. i checked out your site an linked to that too. in the office we fight over grooveshark and spotify, we send songs from our own playlist to them both. im on the grooveshark team. check out routenote.com were still beta but shes starting to look nice
Hey Guys,
Jack here. Thanks for posting the video, I thought it turned out really well. There certainly was no mauling–I was still riding high from seeing Wayne Kramer and Mike Mills. Love RouteNote (as to be expected)…keep up the good work guys!
And what’s wrong with Springsteen? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGMPNGCrn5A
