MIDiA Consulting has released a new report on entitled 'Making Freemium Add Up’. If you haven’t already guessed, the research revolves around ways to make still-infant model equal dollar signs. Of their findings – published on Mark Mulligan’s music industry blog – they found that it’s easy to drop a buck for Angry Birds, but going from freeloader to paying for a premium service takes a significant leap of faith from consumers; a divide that companies are struggling to figure out. Thus converting to paid for music subscription services is a more sizeable achievement than for low priced gaming apps. More needs to be done to bridge the divide. This can be achieved in through bundles and innovative pricing. Though this must be set against the risk of cannibalizing full price tiers. Not to mention, separating inactive users from potential paying customers. Inactive users: inactive user rates range from 13% to 77%. Social services have the highest rates (77% for Instagram and 66% for Twitter). Inactive users are a key characteristic of all registration based services with free-to-consumer tiers, but the registered-to-active rate is below average for all freemium services However freemium inactive users are also often highly interested customers who simply need hooking up with the right pricing and product. In short, freemium inactive user bases are priceless qualified marketing lead databases. The challenge is to separate the wheat from the chaff, to differentiate between disinterested freeloaders and potentially valuable paying customers. You can check out an infographic of their findings here Read and comment. From thedailyswarm.com.

The next step in hot rod hard rock is here. Dirty Fences have combined the joys of smoke-filled biker bars into songs that last at most 2 and a half minutes. New EP 'Too Kind to Kross' is two jams designed especially for speed and abandon. This is the kind of sunset strip metal that celebrates the roots of hardcore, and the future of good old fashioned, dirty ass hard rock is here.

I've given some lovings to the Sydney treat Jagwar Ma before, but now they've decided to return the favour with the brand new video for the already released "Man I Need". The original ten-minute track is now condensed into a shorter made-for-video-version bursting with animated images that could easily have walked right off the walls of an abstract expressionist painting (could imagine putting on my trusty 3D glasses for this too). The energetic creativity of the video becomes a perfect partner for the sound of Jagwar Ma . "Howlin", their debut LP, lands on the Read MoreBlog: Indie Music FilterRelated: Man I Need by Jagwar MaVideo: The Throw by Jagwar MaVideo Premiere: Come Save Me by Jagwar MaJagwar Ma Come Save MeJagwar Ma: Come Save Me Video[Ones To Watch] Introducing Jagwar Ma
