Google has removed the personal blog of ITM’s Dave Ruby Howe from Blogger following supposed repeated complaints from labels and web sheriffs.  The blog, called Mass Hyperbole (which somehow Dave manages to keep going in the tiny amount of spare time his ‘real’ job affords him) is one of Australia’s best.

I’m highlighting this because I personally think that what Dave does shines a light on music that may not get a voice.  I see the net effect as being overwhelmingly positive for the labels and artists he chooses to promote.  I would argue that those labels and artists share my view.  (more…)

The recently vacated role of Editor, inthemix has been filled by promoting from within the Sound Alliance team. The role of Editor is critical to the ongoing success of inthemix and having cast the net far and wide, Tim Hardaker and Libby Clark decided the ideal candidate for the role to be Jack Tregoning, the current Deputy Editor of FasterLouder.

‘2010 is going to be a massive year for inthemix as we celebrate our 10th birthday. Jack has played an integral part in FasterLouder’s continued growth over the past 2.5 years, so I can’t think of anyone better suited to the challenge of steering editorial on inthemix forward’ says Tim Hardaker, General Manager, inthemix.

Tregoning’s promotion to Editor, inthemix, is effective 1^st March and stepping into the newly vacated role of FasterLouder’s Deputy is the highly talented Tom Mann, currently FasterLouder’s Melbourne Editor. This of course means our remaining challenge is to find an equally talented Melbournian to step into Tom’s role in Melbourne.  Applications are open now.

Libby Clark, Operations Director, Sound Alliance added “Rewarding and recognising the exceptional talents within the Sound Alliance team is a core part of our organisational culture. Both Jack and Tom have been critical in producing content that had led to FasterLouder  tripling in size and reach within the past two years of their involvement with the site. They’re stepping into roles of greater influence, which is a win for us and a win for our audience.”
