Two brands are doing it right my friends, Garnier and Rolling Stone Magazine. They launched the contest “Do You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star?,” allowing fans to help Rolling Stone find the next big musical act that will be featured on the cover of the August 2011 edition. What musician wouldn’t want to be on the cover of the most influential magazines that has covered so many amazing, famous and life-changing acts from Bruce Springsteen to The Red Hot Chili Peppers. This contest came to life through partnerships such as Garnier (that I mentioned before), Atlantic Records and AOL Music.

1. How was your week in Cannes?

Bonnaroo, the impressive music festival that was named by Rolling Stone as one of the 50 moments that changed Rock and Roll history happened last week on June 9-12, marking its 10^th year in existence. Bonnaroo had to celebrate its 10^th birthday the right way by featuring the best artists, new and old, over the 4 days and in my opinion it most certainly did.

Last week Apple announced a new syncing, streaming and storage service, iCloud, which is hoping to become the digital home for all of your work and entertainment related files.  After two services that didn’t quite last, .mac and MobileMe, will this finally become the standard system in the cloud computing category?  Google recently announced a music streaming service too,  “Music Beta,” so it looks like the two powerhouses will be up against it again.  Click the image to watch the Apple keynote and let us know your thoughts!
