Hope you'll all take the time to tune in tomorrow at 8 p.m. Eastern Standard Time when I'll be speaking with KasondraK of the Succeed in the Music Business podcast about bootstrapping in the music business.

In the meantime, as promised, I thought I'd share some past posts including links to additional resources tracing some of the discussion here at BootStrapMe on the subject.

Until then, enjoy:

• Bootstrapping music in the digital age. Danish blogger and entrepreneur Thomas Madsen-Mygdal discusses the possibilities and future of the music business.
• Bootstrapping the music biz (Part 1). The post explores the possibilities the digital world has opened for bootstrapping an independent label or other music business with scant or non-existent resources.
• Bootstrapping the music biz (Part 2). A post about how the mainstream music industry has already gotten the idea...and is running with it!
• Bootstrap musician's resource list. An announcement about a "bootstrap music series" in New York led to this huge resource list for the bootstrapping musician. (Passage of time has led to some broken links, but the relevant stuff is still dynamite!)
• Be your own record label. Has the era of the bootstrapping artist as center of the music industry finally come?
• Bootstrappers go direct. Applying Guy Kawasaki's advice directly to the new bootstrapped music industry.
• Could music be the perfect bootstrap business? You know my answer to this one!

We'll see you Sunday. Thanks for reading!
