LiveOne CEO Jimmy Chamberlin

[Funbags]

HE'S A MOVER AND A SHAKER!!

[Funbags]

You know, when he was talking about artists "needing to get a cut from the get go" etc....

The president of Pitchfork was nodding in agreement.

Billy must be jellin'

It's a tech start up. The ideal is getting bought out by one of the big players.

dammit grandpa get back on your meds

i'm personally surprised at how many of you are surprised that jim is smart. i honestly don't think you are able to understand and produce really complex things in music unless you're fairly high functioning, which i have found means you also have a good head for numbers. maybe i'm nuts

i love how the chicago accent breaks through a few times. bill never sounds like he's from chicago

You could essentially "follow" your favorite bands on tour and chat with other fans during the shows. I can even see bands doing pre-show interviews or AMAs, maybe private shows etc. I wonder if Billy will lend a hand and sign the Pumpkins up when the inevitable touring starts behind the new albums?

Looks like Twitch already beat them to the punch: http://www.twitch.tv/beatport

Diplo and Skrillex streaming live via Twitch for the next 24 hours. I think this is what Jimmy's start-up was trying to do? Problem is, Twitch already has a built in audience and a recognizable name.

edit: The fact that Twitch is even allowing people to stream their own music instead of focusing soley on gaming is huge. IMO, this totally kills LiveOne before they even got out of the gate (unless they have something up their sleeves like signed/exclusive artists).

Maybe the Smashing Pumpkins will be exclusive to them.

Wow around the hour point Jimmy really talks up Corgan's songwriting, puts him in his top 3 or 4
