Worleygig.com Joins NeatoHub Blog Network!

A couple of weeks ago, Worleygig.com was honored with an exclusive invitation to join a cool new web-ring of blogs created by one of our very favorite websites, Neatorama. The NeatoHub, as it’s called, circulates high-quality blog posts from a select group of sites around the globe via the widget you’ll see posted along the lower, right-hand margin of The Gig’s home page. You’ll also see a listing of NeatoHub posts when you click to comment on or view a full individual post. It’s a pretty cool project, and I’m very honored to be part of it. Please check it out by clicking on some of these guest posts, which in turn will generate traffic to Worleygig.com. Thanks to Neatorama for the opportunity to bring the Rad Blog to a wider audience, while also enriching our readers’ experience with fun new blog posts!

Update: The Neatohub Feature Has Been Discontinued.

The Birth of Capitol Records

Capitol Records

On This Day, June 4th, in 1942: Glenn Wallichs started Capitol Records. Wallichs “invented” the art of record promotion by being the first record company owner to send free copies of label’s new releases to radio stations in hopes of gaining airplay. Capitol Records was, of course, home to The Beatles for decades, as well as artist like The Beach Boys, Eddie Cochran, Gene Vincent, Bobby Darin, Dean Martin, Glen Campbell, Steve Miller, Dr. Hook, Bob Seger, Tina Turner and Heart.
