We're honored to share today that we've assumed the stewardship of the respected Music Think Tank web site. We believe that the combined sites create the web’s most viewed independent source of news and commentary serving artists, labels and the music technology sector.[![image from www.musicthinktank.com](http://hypebot.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83451b36c69e20133f1b8e87a970b-250wi "image from www.musicthinktank.com")](http://www.musicthinktank.com/?ref=hypebot.com)

Over the last two years, **[MusicThinkTank.com](http://musicthinktank.com/?ref=hypebot.com)** has become the go to site for thoughtful essays exploring the rapidly evolving business of making and marketing music. Founded by tech entrepreneur **[Bruce Warila](http://twitter.com/brucewarila?ref=hypebot.com)** and music business pundit **[Andrew Dubber](http://www.andrewdubber.com/?ref=hypebot.com)**, along with regular contributors **[Ariel Hyatt](http://arielpublicity.com/category/blog/?ref=hypebot.com)** of Ariel Publicity and CD Baby founder and thought leader **[Derek Sivers](http://sivers.org/blog?ref=hypebot.com)**, MusicThinkTank draws on their expertise; in addition to other regular contributors and invited experts. There is also an active **[MTT Open](http://www.musicthinktank.com/mtt-open/?ref=hypebot.com)[MTT Radio](http://www.musicthinktank.com/mtt-radio/?ref=hypebot.com)** forum where anyone can add to the conversation with their own essays and comments, as well as, where independent artists post music and gain exposure.
