Haulix Weekly Update #39 – “We’re Going To Need A Bigger Boat”

“I understand what’s it like to work all week and on Friday night just want to go and leave your brain at the door, buy some popcorn and be thrilled by something.” – Don Cheadle

Hello and welcome to the final Haulix blog update of the work week. If you’re reading this post the day it goes then you’re likely joining us in the unsettling anticipation of the weekend ahead. It is Godzilla week, after all, and thanks to an early screening this week we already know it’s awesome. Before you run off to the cineplex however, we need to take a few moments and reflect on everything we’ve accomplished in recent days.

Each and every Friday we like to take a brief break from our regularly scheduled programming to update and reflect on everything happening at Haulix HQ. We are far more than a music blog, as many of you already know, and posts like this give us an opportunity to share more our efforts with all of you. If you have any questions about the content of this post, or if you are interested in learning more about the secure music distribution services offered by Haulix, please email james@haulix.com and share your thoughts. We can also be found on Twitter and Facebook.

We have been telling you for over a month that we have a major addition coming to our anti-piracy toolkit, but we are still a week or two from the official roll out of the project. What we can tell you today is that things are moving forward, and we recently launched beta testing for this highly teased offering. Once live we will be able to assist clients in battling piracy more fiercely than ever before. More details soon.

On the blog end of things, we continued our efforts to create better and more informed industry this week through multiple new posts. We interviewed industry big shots, talked about the need to remember where we come from, and offered a boat load of advice to beginners. You can find a rundown of everything we ran in recent days below:

Advice: Remember The People Who Help You

How To Kill Your Band #8 – Everyone Has To Start Somewhere

Industry Spotlight: Fred Feldman (Triple Crown Records)

Industry Spotlight: Adam Lopez (New Age Media Management)

Music Industry Job Board (5/11/14)

Journalism Tips #14: ‘Quality Vs Quantity’

Next week we will not only have the story of High Times, but also the legend behind one of the hottest young video critics’ and their ridiculous stage name. We will also have a new Job Board update, additional advice features, and the announcement of a brand new feature slated to begin in June.

That’s all we have for now. Have a great weekend, everyone!
