R5 Productions
This website is, in my opnion, the best compilation site for indie shows in Philly. R5 allows users to access info using Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter. Some of the Philly venues that are listed on this site are the 1st Unitarian Church (my favorite venue!), Starlight Ballroom, Johnny Brendas, and The Barbary. The site displays show-listings for each day, offers sample music downloads for the bands playing in that show, a link to purchase tickets to the show, and a brief review of each band. This is a great site for finding new music on the indie scene. Since R5 uses "social networking" tools, I figured it was a good opportunity to post about the site. Enjoy!

Copyright-Friendly Resources.

I just want to remind everyone that there is a wiki listing copyright-friendly resources. A colleague and I began this wiki to prepare for a presentation about Digital Media Ethics.

Please check it out and better yet, join it and add some of your own favorite resources. Pass it on, I'd love to see it grow.

The wiki also contains information about Copyright, Fair Use, and Creative Commons. It's worth checking out for the video clips alone!
