About Todd
Bio

Starting with being co-owner / operator of The Blue Room Studios from 96-98 in San Francisco I was always in a band with a Web Monkey from hotwired.com. So we always utilized the power of the Internet to spread the good word about our music. My interest in Web Music Technology is backed by my love for music. I play electric and acoustic guitar, Dobro, Lap Steel, Uke, Cuban Tres, I sing, and I play keyboards. I have many hours of audio engineering under my belt, I have worked on countless demos and CD's. Including a Grammy nominated release, and participation in a double platinum release.

 
Back in Web 1.0 (1999-2001) I was Co-Founder and COO for Angry Coffee.com, we launched the Web's first publicly available Web-based interface to Napster and Napster like networks. We made the front page of the Wall Street Journal July 26th, 2000 and entertained developing a "Napster-killing Application" with the help of an executive fan from EMI.

A sampling of the people I have been blessed with their company either as a live sound or audio tracking engineer or a guitar player "back in the day" include David Tanenbaum, Ray Manzerak & Michael McClure, Dan Wyman, Greg Landau, Omar Sosa, Jesus Diaz, Alfredo Reyes, Sr., Orestes Vilato ( Miami Sound Machine), Keith Terry and Crosspulse, Jojo, The Automator ( Gorillaz ), Jay Sciarra, Jim Dean, Marc Senasac, Stephan Jenkins( Third Eye Blind ), Moss, Smitty, Steve Bowman, Jeff Narrel, Mario Flores, Ted302, MUK, Stark Raving Brad, Steve Williams, Sourpuss, Brian Kehoe, Tony Kalife, Celso Alberti, Marqueno Brazil, Fifty Lashes, Creeper Lagoon, The late Beau Kane, Wally Schnalle, Dan Zihn, Francis Wong, KC Filson, Mr. B, and Eddie Gale and many others...

My goal is to work in Web Music Technology, to provide new and exciting music discovery destinations that utilize exciting easy-to-use technologies.

Come join me in my start-up efforts or show me something exciting to join and put my energy into.

  • Great breezy report! Fark is lucky IMHO with subscriptions as humor is involved, not (too) many are successful at subscriptions. A good laugh is always worth paying for and we all know The Onion is successful(ly hilarious ). As far as Bridge loans, I say skip the loan, stay bootstrapped and build value so you can hold your own in that conversation about x$ for y(equity). If you have value and smarts you can still control that conversation with VC. Having an investment team behind you is key though so don't let your CEO ego mess up money being deposited into your bank account. Compromise can happen.
