The Mynabirds | Body Of Work

Summery sounds from Saddle Creek Records.

A lovely recording by our Los Angeles SoundCloud Heroes Will and Matt made during Global Meetup Day last week.

So great to hear the voices of so many community members on the other side of the world.

Timid Tiger | Hangin’ In The Sun

What I did this weekend. 

Duana recorded the audience’s applause after Alex finished presenting The Next SoundCloud at last week’s meetup at SoundCloud HQ.

WNYC’s Brian Lehrer interviews Tumblr founder and CEO David Karp on The Brian Lehrer Show

Evan, Amir and Ben doing accents

I want women to know at least that there is the great option of working as a software developer. It’s a skillset anyone can pick up. It’s intellectually challenging, creative and pervasive across society and industries. It can be combined with lots of other pursuits.


I would encourage women to take a few courses in programming to see whether it interests them.

Fantastic post by Duana, who joined SoundCloud a few weeks ago as an engineer.

GPOYW: The SoundCloud Posse At Seedcamp Edition

From left to right: Tina Baker who does legal work for us, yours truly, VP Marketing Thom and Sitar from our series A investor Doughty Hanson. Fun times.   

Fun fact: Tina is a singer and in 1987, the late Beastie Boy Adam Yauch directed the music video for one of her songs. Mind blown.

Fun fact 2: photo bomb by Sunstone’s Nikolai

Excited about the SoundCloud integration into Flipboard. Listen to Robert Scoble interview team Flipboard after the launch.

A lot of blood, sweat and possibly a tear or two have gone into this. Tonight, I am extremely proud of this company and the team work. It’s truly inspiring to have been part of an effort that involved all parts of the company to get the first phase of the next step on our mission to unmute the web out into the wild.
