MORE Indie Invaders / POSTED BY: KINGSOFAR

Nokia Partners With Sony BMG For Free Music Offering: This is the day and age where just about every manufacturer of mobile telephones is teaming up with major music labels. This time, Nokia will offer free 12-month access to music from artists of Sony BMG. Nokia struck a similar deal for its “Comes With Music” phones with the Universal Music and expects all labels will come to the table.

Pitchfork Media: Ad consultants claim that the hipster site Pitchfork pulls in at least $5 million a year. Sounds fishy to me….

New Music: Listen to Blink Of An Eye by Hodges. It Definitely has top 40 flavor, except without a story.

Study: According to a new study LimeWire is the #1 peer to peer application. After LimeWire, the most popular P2P application is µTorrent, followed by BitTorrent, Ares, and Azureus.

One More Reason: OLR also known as One Less Reason gives us another reason how today’s artists can position themselves to be successful. The band who happens to be a Myspace cult band, just licensed their song
A Day To Be Alone‘ for the movie ‘Heroes Wanted’ and their track
Sadly Smiling‘ to the clothing retailer Buckle. The track will be played in 327 stores in 38 states. The band will be performing with One Republic tomorrow night at the University of Alabama.

Guns N’ Roses To Release New Album? According to the bands website Guns N’ Roses is “in negotiations” for the release of its long awaited album ‘Chinese Democracy’.

Breaking Artists: Congratulations to KTCL, the Denver Clear Channel tastemaker station who have been taking chances by adding new artists to their playlist without major label backing. KTCL is known for breaking baby acts and getting them national exposure. KTCL recently broke Meese, Flobots, and Tickle Me Pink.

Blogs will be Record Labels, and Bloggers will be the new Music Moguls: Digtital Music News wrote an interesting column that gives an imaginary glimpse into the future. Within 2 years, the leading music blogs will become what used to be called ‘Record Labels’. The people running them will be those sharp, tuned-in, hyper-networked and resourceful BlogJs formerly known as bloggers.
