Pulse Music Board press and media

[Kurt]

So, I guess now's as good a time as any to start a thread for Pulse shout-outs in press and media, eh?

First, Matt Rad (producer/mixer/engineer/musician for Chris Wallace, One Direction, Bonnie McKee, Demi Lovato, Emblem3, etc.) tweeted this a while back:

.@pulsemusicboard is an incredible resource and full of information and insight and it occasionally makes me hate myself

Today, Ryan Tedder (lead singer of OneRepublic and songwriter of numerous hits) mentions Pulse as one of the music boards he frequents:

I go to CNN.com, like, five or six times a day. I don’t know. Maybe I have I.D.P. — information deprivation paranoia. I also check out a lot of the music message boards to see what people are listening to, and if I have a song that’s out, I see if people hate it or love it. There’s ATRL, Pulse Music Board and Digital Spy. And I go to Pitchfork. They are to music what The New York Times is to books.

If you have more examples, feel free to post!

Nice, I didn't see the first one. Interesting how there's the OneRepublic connection. Maybe Matt Rad turned Ryan on to us?

One Direction for the first, not OneRepublic, haha. (also Matt Rad called me a PMB legend yesterday so he must lurk enough to know who I am, ha)

Not much other than a few tweets, ha; I helped TommyD with a little SoundCloud thing once and I do social media and promo stuff for my jazz professor, but that's really it.

Wow, that's really cool!

Realistically speaking, I think there are a good amount of individuals in the industry who have an eye on message boards (at the very least, I think every label has interns keeping an eye on how their rosters are perceived online), especially one as big as this. The dawn of the internet really provides those within the entertainment industry with an opportunity to have an eye on a section of their target customers and they are correct in utilizing that opportunity.

I know that Dr. Luke used to post here back when I first joined. I wonder if he still checks in from time to time.

I remember Dr. Luke posting, talking about Kelly and Katy when she was first starting. Kinda fun.

Jealous that Kurt was called out tbh. I think that Matt guy was at a writing camp for Kelly's sixth album. Wield that legend status, Kurt, and get some intel.

I remember Timmy T posted a couple of times. He gave birth to the 90s #1 "One More Try," which made this classic possible...

OMG... we are totally prestigious... just in time for our tenth anniversary!! :o

Yes, indeedy. He has some good things to say, and since he doesn't have an account on here yet, I'm sure someone can lead the charge and get him to register.
