Back in front of a computer !





Just came back to NYC today ...and ... for the first time in 8 days i can sit down in front of a computer... Hundreds of late e-mails, Muxtape and Pandora got troubles, BMI posted a 901 Millions $ record income, more cool artists and labels are using fairtilizer ... feel like i left for a month. This week is going to be less hectic with only two meeting a day here in New York.

I have spent quite some time in my life in Cali but this trip was amazing, been lucky to meet some very great and highly talented peeps ! Not coming from an IT background was getting me a little nervous but actualy everyone turned to be very nice (yes even business meeting !) indeed people were very interested to talk about internet and media from my very music biz oriented point of view - forget music 2.0 - ITS ALL ABOUT A NEW MUSIC COMPANY, OFFERING A NEW DEAL !

Speaking of music prism lets take it back to the 80's drops out, So special shout out to my Apple/Itunes peeps, The Mashable crew, Martin, Chris and his wife, Julia, Mich and Phil for setting up some super cool meetings, Chris Saad and the whole dataportability crew, Topspin music Company/Band;) in Santa Monica, Andy@warner, my man Raph, Freddy @ Netvibes, Ben @fox/myspace, Lucas ...

I am going back to cali soon !
