I found this site which ties in very well with our blog.

You can find it at: http://www.alexcooley.com/

This site attempts to look at live music on a deeper level, which I here at Popular Music Press believe has been lacking in the media. Alex Cooley suggests that live music naturally promotes community, culture, discovery, fun, family and adventure, which I tend to agree with. Anyone who has a attended a live performance they have enjoyed is left with a sense of social cohesion, excitement and joy. 

Cooley also offers an optimistic look at the digital revolution in regards to the live experience stating that, “the digital revolution offers exciting possibilties in the live music industry. There are new ways to enhance audience experience, to help artists reach more fans, and for fans to take the experience home.”

The site also offers people the chance to share their live music experience posting ‘live music pic of the week.’
