Today we launched a new EOS powered website for Estelle. It was designed in house by Amy Stein and built by the D2F team at WMG in conjunction with Atlantic.
Check out my thoughts on how the iPad may effect the music industry at AltPress.com. Looks like I made the cut and was quoted a few times talking about the device. The interview was purely conceptual as none of us had seen the actual hardware, but I think everything we said holds up well post-launch.

Today we launched a new site for Circa Survive designed in house by Amy Stein, project managed by Jeremy Kutner and built by D2C team at WMG. The site focuses around a series of webisodes the band is recording on tour and a growing community and tour archive.
On Friday we lauched our newest artist website on Cisco’s EOS platform for Jonathan Tyler & the Northern Lights. The site was designed in house by one of our talented web designers Priyanka Batra (her last before going off to freelance full time) and was managed and built by the talented web teams at Atlantic Records and Warner Music Group.
Beyond a stylish yet clean design, and the great community features our fans have come to expect from our websites, we rolled out some exciting new features centered around concerts. For some time now we’ve wanted revamp the tour experience on our artist’s websites, and JTNL is the first site to include some of these new ideas.
Across the music industry most artist websites do a fine job of alerting you to new tour dates, but very few have given much attention to past shows. Live shows are a huge part of the music experience and we wanted to add features to our web platform to reflect that. The ARCHIVE section of the JTNL site displays past shows and allows fans to interact with those shows in new ways.
You can now rate shows, comment on your experience or upload videos or photos you have taken at the show. Beyond allowing user generated content each show has the official setlist, and on the JTNL site, each show can be downloaded in its entirety for free via Topspin! It’s a great way to experience this amazing live band and share your experiences with other fans.

Today Brightcove announced the availability of their platform on smartphones powered by Adobe’s upcoming Flash Player 10.1 for mobile devices. With some help from our video and studio team we were able to update Kidrock.com and Shinedown.com to work with the new player, as well as creating a mobile version of our studio website Studio1290 using Brightcove’s new mobile video player. While the technology is still in beta, we at Atlantic are really excited about the possibilities of this new distribution method.
Apple has slowly been pushing out updates to it’s app store today. Not all apps are benefiting yet from the new cleaned up interface, but our Rob Thomas Fanbase application was switched over a few hours ago. The layout has a lot more whitespace, larger download/buy button and multiple detail images of the application on screen at once. This update brings the app store visually more in line with new store look that was part of the iTunes 9 upgrade.
