It’s true, I’ve been a little light on the updates here, but I have a decent excuse: RCRD LBL is keeping me busy. So busy, in fact, that we’ve decided it’s time to expand the team, which means we now have a position we’re looking to fill. The official description is pasted below:
RCRD LBL, a new ad-supported online record label based in New York City, is on the hunt for an Operations Manager.We’re looking for someone super-organized and hardworking, who doesn’t need to be micromanaged and can take the job and run with it. We’re a startup, which means that you’ll need to be able to deal with a very fluid environment — there will be a lot of work, but you definitely won’t be doing the same thing every day. There are the usual perks to being in the music industry, but we’d rather find someone who is more excited about changing the game than getting backstage passes.
Responsibilities include:
- Helping manage partner label relations and business development
- Assisting with content acquisition and management
- Advertising and sponsorship support
- Events and marketing coordination
It’s a great job for someone smart and talented who is looking for a chance to break into the online music world. Experience with online advertising is a plus, but not necessary. Please send resume, cover letter, and salary requirements to peter@rcrdlbl.com.

This is sort of an odd request, but I’m looking for someone in NYC to help me sell stuff on eBay. I’ve been putting this off forever, and now I’ve got way too much crap squirreled away in this tiny 600 sq. ft. apartment for me to ever get around to dealing with it alone. I figured the ideal solution would be to find someone to list everything on eBay and then deal with shipping it all off, and either pay them by the hour or by offering a commission on all the sales. My contact info is on the sidebar if you or someone you know is at all interested. It’s easy money for someone with some spare time.

Flew Virgin America for the first time since we launched a RCRD LBL in-flight radio channel with them last month, successfully restrained myself from gushing about it to the strangers sitting next to me. Though they did seem a little weirded out that I kept taking pictures of the screen.P.S. – We rolled out a bunch of improvements to the site today, check it out! -
Can anyone recommend a good alternative to Sitemeter? They’ve been having “major internal system problems” since last week, and while we’re already using Google Analytics at RCRD LBL, I like the real-time stats offered by Sitemeter so had been using both up until this weekend.

I suppose it’s not a secret that we’re launching today, but I’m still pretty damn excited to be finally taking the wraps off of my latest site, RCRD LBL. We just went live a few moments ago, head on over!

The new Downtown offices are coming soon. RCRD LBL itself is coming a bit sooner.
P.S. – Yeah, we’ve let the building’s owners know that they misspelled “Digital”.

Well, now that it’s clear that we won’t be seeing any gPhones until sometime in the 2nd half of 2008, I have a difficult decision to make: what phone will I use for the next 8-12 months until the first Android-powered phones are available? (And that’s assuming that at least one of the first models to go on sale will be one I want to buy.) I’m beyond tired of my Treo 700p, but so far I haven’t found a phone that has quite the right mix of QWERTY keyboard, 3G connectivity, and support for Google’s Java-based Mobile Gmail client. Some of the new BlackBerrys come close, but I don’t love the UI so much, and while I’ve gotten Mobile Gmail working on Windows Mobile, the experience isn’t as seamless or well-integrated as it is on my Treo 700p. I might just keep waiting….

Loving Ubuntu 7.10, but haven’t been able to figure out how to get Bluetooth dial-up networking going on it. Any pointers?

Justice at Terminal 5 last night. The Marshall Stacks are purely for decorative purposes.
