This is pretty sweet. Mic manufacturer Blue has just announced a new mic, dubbed Mikey that straps right onto your iPhone. From the Blue website:

The all-new Mikey is the perfect tool for mobile recording. Featuring two custom-tuned Blue capsules for stereo recording, a line-input, USB pass through and a stylish updated 230-degree rotating design. Mikey’s three gain settings allow for a versatile recording experience for everything from a loud concert to a whisper. Record lectures, voice notes, live music, interviews, and more. Mikey also comes with its own carrying pouch and headphone adapter or playback and monitoring. Mikey turns your iPod or iPhone into the coolest mobile recording device around!

Word has it that the mic will run about $100 and include an app for easy editing and more control.

I’m a big fan of Mike Posner the artist as well as Mike Posner the marketing machine. The kid makes sure to get interviews and video any and everything he does in the studio, on the road or just for fun. Here is a dope interview with TheCoolestGeek.com on a recent tour stop.

Listening to Chris Young the Rapper and get an ad over the music player for a LeAnn Rimes and Dennis DeYoung show.

Nice targeting. Start spending smart money people. These sites (Facebook, Google, Myspace, etc) have some of the best targeting the world of advertising has ever seen, yet media buyers keep thinking more = more, instead of targeting = more.

Oh well.

New video from NYC vet and LA transport hip-hop artist CurT@!n$. The song is fresh and so is the video. Hip-hop hipsters be warned.

He also has an interesting take on the business, something I appreciate and believe in. You can create a lucrative business and remain in the background, walk the malls and have a high society lifestyle. Here’s a video that explains more

This is dope and tragic. Found it on Large Up at OkayPlayer this morning. The skateboard culture of Jamaica as told by Wildfiyah from the Nerdz Republic crew in Kingston Jamaica. I love seeing the urban culture all over the world and especially the positivity of boarding in a country like Jamaica. Big ups to Wildfiyah and DJ Gravy for sharing this.

Peep the video below over at Large Up (the embed code isn’t cutting it)
