Playing Local Music

I’m always thinking of new Podcasts to do. Ways to grow the community, and I’m always looking for ways to promote local talent. Music being one of those talents. Yellowknife has a wide selection of music and although I haven’t heard much of it due to my lack of bar going I know it is good stuff.

My idea for a show would simply be a weekly or monthly one hour show featuring local songs. Mixing it up show to show, although I sure I would ended up repeating myself after 8 weeks of music. Anyways, I think this is a great idea but the thing that stumps me is copyright laws. I value that these artist took the time and money to make these albums and I don’t want to rip them off by any means but I think it would be awesome none the less to show off there talent.

I’m not looking to get the rights to play any music I want, although that would be awesome, but expensive, I just want to show off the local music talent Yellowknife has. Does anyone know how I might go about doing this? I realize it will cost some money, the artists do need to be reimbursed, but I don’t know how much and I don’t know what the appropriate channels are to go through.

How would you go about trying to do this? If any local musicians read this, how would you prefer a person wanting to play your music online go about approaching you and how would you like to be compensated?

Rogers May Grace Yellowknife

Earlier this morning I was speaking with a friend, who was telling me that Rogers may have signed a deal with Ice Wireless to bring their services to the north. What does this mean, well it means not only would we get a GSM Cell Network that supports data but we’d get the use of an iPhone up here as well. You can currently use a Rogers phone up here on Ice Wireless’ network but with no data and at $.90 a minute why…………….[CLICK HERE TO READ FULL ARTICLE]

UPDATE: It may actually be Ice Wireless. WIll try to confirm on Monday
