I wrote this the other day and thought it would be fun to add it over here on my personal blog.
Most of the projects Topspin has the opportunity to be part of revolve around music and artists we are very passionate about. I’m a Deadhead (as are a few others here) so I was happy to learn Topspin powers offers for several current projects celebrating the music of the Grateful Dead: GD…

In my mind, this is seriously badass. Pretty sure it is also seriously badass in real-life.
In addition to all the excitement and furious prep for SXSW, we ‘re stoked to announce the release of Topspin “Sharealytics,” Part II. We’ve been working with our pals at the social analytics company Awe.sm on giving artists the ability to track the spread of their marketing widgets across…
my first post below from the ol’ topspin wheels of steel (i dont even know what that means - i just mean, their tumblr). i feel kinda like i won a grammy, from having the opp to be part of the topspin team, ha. okay, yeah… that is a bit extreme (because a grammy isnt quite as rad as topspin - jk). but i AM looking forward to stringing words together to express their message/s. then i will blather on about it here from time to time (and constantly make peanut gallery comments after my own sentences by writing in parantheses). regardless of this that or the other, impressive list of artists that ran campaigns through topspin last year. rock steady.
We’re proud to acknowledge the following GRAMMY artists we worked with at different points of their winning album campaigns: Bon Iver, Paul McCartney, The Civil Wars, Jay-Z & Kanye West. Huge congrats!
The list of nominees we work with is steady, too. Proud to be a part of these teams: Lady Gaga, The Band Perry, Cee-Lo Green, Cut/Copy, Blake Shelton, OK Go, Dave Barnes, Tron Legacy, Wingless Angels, The Lonely Island, Steve Martin, & Fleet Foxes.

White Denim’s live show, after being totally obsessed with their studio albums (stream my favorite HERE), completely blew me away. I didn’t know if I was going to be in town, so procuring a ticket to the sold-out show was a bit challenging. I decided I would gamble & go to the venue early to see if they may release some tickets. Got in line at 7:15p & ended up getting 1 of the 10 tickets they released at the door at 8:45p. I was committed! Since I wasn’t even ready to go out (still in yoga gear!), I blasted home to get ready & got back to the venue by their set-time, 11p. The nice people I waited with in line were up in the front left with room for me so I stood in front of the masterful Austin on guitar, which pretty much blew my mind. Those guys are experts at what they are doing! And so goddamn happy about it onstage, too! I smiled waaay more than normal at a show, just cuz those guys were all beaming at each other. Too rad. It was their first non-opening/non-thirty minute set in weeks (they were opening for Wilco) so they got to stretch out more & I was VERY stoked I waited for a full set as my first time seeing them VS. catching them open. Blown away. Cannot wait to see/hear more from them as we go. AND they use Topspin, the bitchin’est music-tech company I just started working for this week! Follow Topspin’s Tumblr HERE where I’ll be making daily posts about artists using the platform!
