RadarMusicVideos.com - new video marketplace for bands and directors
their logo's not the only thing that's received a (welcome) upgrade - caroline & co. have launched something much more ambitious: a site that promises to connect bands and videomakers by calls for pitches on tracks with budgets. (specifics are provided to those who sign up to as radar members.)
judging by a first look around, they might be onto something. interesting terms of agreement for participating in pitches, including recommendations on retaining rights and getting paid, plus the promise of a radar blacklist of bands & directors who don't play by the rules.

Rage!
in searching for a new music video my partner and I made for the band spoon, I became aware of Rage... a popular australian music video channel that will apparently broadcast anything you send them...
the channel is late night, features no vj's... back to back videos... what more could we as music video directors ask for from a broadcast outlet?!
read more about them on wikipedia
and here's the official rage website
here's a sample playlist from february 16th, 2008 when our video actually first screened... 5am on a saturday morning... and the ONE time it screened, some fan recorded it and posted it to youtube already... amazing!
I'll post the url to the high-res video next, but this whole thing was an interesting discovery... watching "viral" happen in realtime... and also noting how awesome this rage program is... apparently the longest running music video show ever produced (since the demise of sooooooul train).
