Bay Area carnival rock jam band phenom Moonalice's social media accounts on Twitter, Facebook and Google+ are all a-buzz! Ahead of his interview with David Faber on CNBC at 11 Central tomorrow (Wed. 27 July), Silicon Valley VC, and Moonalice band lead, Roger McNamee has shared the new vocabulary he has coined to describe the future of technology:

• Hypernet: the physical infrastructure that results from combining the internet with cellular and wifi. At present half the nodes are computers and half are smart phones, but the balance is moving away from computers.  
• Hyperweb: the software and services layer that leverages the Hypernet. HTML 5 appears to be a fundamental building block of the Hyperweb.

In a recent reply to a post by music blogger Bob Lefsetz, Roger had this to say about the role of HTML5 and the hypernet, "To me, the opportunity is for musicians is to view HTML 5 and the hypernet as canvases for making new music products to replace CDs / mp3s. To have any value, these products need to go miles beyond what Google did for Arcade Fire and the Beastie Boys. HTML 5 begs for people to get really creative, so mash-ups and collaborations may be a part of the mix."

Tune in tomorrow and the brave new world of a Hyperweb that leverages the Hypernet will be revealed!

Moonalice’s signature single “It’s 4:20 Somewhere” is headed for 900,000 downloads since its introduction on November 13, 2009. Recorded, mixed, and mastered for a mere $5,000, “It’s 4:20 Somewhere” is available only on the web and only for free. The FLAC version can be found at http://moonalice.bit.ly/2uZpcY

Moonalice invented the Twittercast concert, where it shares links to songs for an entire show, either live or after the fact. Moonalice has done 80 Twittercasts (and Facecasts, as the Facebook equivalent is known) and also broadcasts a song an hour over Twitter via Moonalice radio. Moonalice is also the first band to offer free LIVE videocasts of (nearly) every show. Live videocasts (and the archive) can be found at http://www.moonalicetv.com.

On the web, Moonalice can be found at http://www.moonalice.com, as well as on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/moonalice) and Twitter (https://twitter.com/moonalice). The full collection of Moonalice videos can be found at http://www.MoonaliceTV.com or on YouTube.
